0. Preface
I have been dealing with weight issues my whole life. From overweight to skinny, skinny to bulky back to overweight.
I have been losing interest in the gym and working out in general since Covid hit last april here in The Netherlands. Getting hip injuries and shoulder injuries didn't help either, so I decided to just quit it all.
Now, here I am. Sitting at roughly 86kg, standing at a height of 170cm. The 11th of october will be my birthday and I decided that date will be the goal to reach a point where I'll be happy with my body.
1. Calculating my calories.
So, according to the few TDEE (Total daily energy expentiture) calculators, I found out I should be eating roughly 2850 calories to stay at my current weight. So I'll be eating 2350 calories to create a 3500 calorie deficit for the week.
2. Working out.
I've always prefered boxing workouts to drop some weight (fat).
- Daily run of 4,5km easy tempo, run has to be finished in 30 minutes. (rest on sunday).
- Mixing weight training with boxing workouts throughout the week.
3. Finalizing the plan.
Throughout this little 8/9 week journey I'll be watching my caloric intake and activity levels. Working out activity will be a lot during these 8/9 weeks. When rest is needed to recover, I will.
Listening to my body is the best thing I can do.
Not setting a certain weight goal, as I will be watching my measurements and look at myself at the mirror. This gives me a better indication of my progress than being a kg more or less due to water weight.
Wish me luck and hopefully I'll be happier soon.
