dexter101 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hey guys and girls. Well quick background. I got married in December 2015 and walked down the Aisle weighing a chunky 15 st 6. In January 2016, after Christmas and looking back at the photos of the wedding and stag, I decided I had put on way too much timber and enough was enough. On a controlled diet of 1500 calories (give or take) and from April doing boot camp 2-3 times per week I dropped down to 13st 7, my lowest weight since.... who knows! People noticed and it felt good and I felt like it would just keep coming off, however in Summer 2016 got some bad news and it all just didnt fit in with what was happening. I am now back up to 14st 7 but ready to go again and get down below 13st. Currently aiming at 1800 calories per day. playing 5 a side football once per week 1, 5km run per week with brother in law- PB 31:05 so far 3 freeletics body weight work outs per week. (2 down so far) 1 freeletics run work out per week Diet is mainly focused on reduced carbs as I find this the easiest to maintain. we do a weekly shop at the local market so most of my food is meat and fresh veg anyway with some nuts and seeds etc thrown in. Eggs and Bacon for breakfast, avocados etc. I find my work travels are worst for eating badly especially when leaving early morning so have bought some Huel (well MyProteins version) to act as an emergency lunch go to. Tastes ok and quite filling. Aim is to hit 13st by end of July but my other aims are: Be able to do 5 pull ups Be able to do 50 push ups Be able to run 5km in 26 minutes. Just wanted to put something up to make myself accountable. Cheers all! Quote Link to comment
AnnaBecker Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I find Quest protein bars taste ok (not great - but not bad either), and are an easy breakfast or lunch/snack. Travel is hard, no doubt. Though I don't often do it, but you can find something healthy at a restaurant. It's just not often the most desirable choice. For me travel is the most difficult. I do great at home, but watch it if I'm on the road. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
