Today starts my journey at losing some weight this time is different from what I have done in the past, I am losing weight for something other than my health. I am going on a 10 day hiking trip with my son and his Boy Scout Troop in AZ in April 2018 so in order to keep up with them I have to both lose some weight as well as train myself to hike for 10 days. I have chosen not to follow a mainstream diet plan that dramatically changes how and what you eat and follow a more realistic calorie counting plan and increasing my activates. To start the program off I have very little to no activity at all so I will start with being on the bike twice a day for 15 min each time and look to start increasing this after 10 days. Being as big as I am I have to watch how much I take on so not to cause problems for my heart. I have also looked into how many calorie I currently take in and it looks as though I am north of 6,500 a day, someone my age and height should be taking in about 2,200 - 2,400 calories a day. FatSecret says my intake to a healthy weight loss should be at about 3,600 calories a day so what I plan on doing to following the 3,600 for one week to better adjust my body to the reduced calorie intake then drop it down closer to the goal calorie intake each week until I am at the 2,200 within four weeks. I am hoping with this type of approach I can adjust how much I eat and the types of food I chose which will become more of a lifestyle change and not some unrealistic fad diet change.
I normally do not do any of this publicly but maybe this time I will and make myself accountable not only to myself but to others that might be looking. I feel good about this, but I usually do when I start, in trying to change my overall self and what I chose to eat.
Well until my next post I hope everyone keeps a positive attitude and has a great start to the new year.
