Major Fatloss and Road To Spartan Race Trifecta...Log

[SpartanInTraining]

Hey guys happy to be apart of the NF community, I'll make this short and sweet since I'll be updating it everyday. I've always been overweight and want to change that...today. 

 

Here are my upcoming goals: 

Make it to my first Spartan Race 70lbs. lighter - April 24th 2014

Do at least 25 clean non-flailing pull-ups 

Run 2 miles without needing to call the emergency room 

 

Future goals:

Complete a Spartan Trifecta - ultimate goal

Successful pistol squat 

Any of the cool pull-up bar stuff on barstarrz 

Join my local basketball league 

Buy a shirt other than a 2XL 

10% bodyfat or lower 

 

How I'm going to accomplish those goals: 

Focus on bodyweight training for at least 8-12 months so I learn how to move my own weight efficiently...then add Olympic lifting 

Intermittent fasting - with an 8 hour eating window 

8+ hours of sleep 

Walk every morning 3-4 miles 

Paleo-framework for nutrition 

 

My stats: 

Dude

6'1

300lbs.

30-40% body fat 

 

So I plan on updating this everyday and need you guys to keep me on it! I'm also doing a Youtube channel to chart my journey with video, so I'll add them as weekly updates here where I'll talk about measurements, how the week went as a whole, etc. Nervous about putting this online haha but that nervousness just means that I'm being held accountable. 

 

So this is my first step to my road to Sparta, can't wait to see what happens.

You can do it! I am a 2013 Trifecta finisher, it's a great goal to have. I'm going to try to do it again (but faster) in 2014.

Mom excite to follow this. You can do it!!!! Ive been doing a lot of bodyweight workouts over the past few months.

What are you starting with? Or what are some of your more short term goals?

[SpartanInTraining]

Thanks guys! My more immediate goal is consistency for the next 30 days sticking to my routine and eating right . I'd also like to drop 15-20 lbs. As a start.

Bodyweight - wise I'd like to get 5 clean pull ups, I'm at about 4 right now.

Tomorrow I'm doing a full update and my first video entry.

Thanks again for the encouragement!

So here's my first video update on my journey...embarrassing putting this on video at the moment but I know I'll want this as a reference as I go through the process. 

 

We'll see what happens over the next few weeks and whether I hit the 20lb. goal or not, don't know if that's unrealistic for my size, I'm sure it isn't but we'll see.

You seem to be well prepared for this. I definitely understand the embarrassment. I put up my first pictures here during one of the challenges and was embarrassed as hell!

I give you bonus points for holding yourself accountable with a weekly video
