I weighed in Sunday at 199.2 pounds. This is ridiculously bad for me. I'm only 5'6" and should be about 45 pounds lighter. Numerous attempts to lose weight and their subsequent failures has pushed me to the "Why Bother?" stage but through some miracle Sunday marked the day in which I took my best step forward in years.
An intense chest&back p90x workout in conjunction with 2 really healthy meals got me back on track. I followed that up yesterday with a good showing on my daily intake and plyometrics p90x routine.
My aim is for about 1600-1800 calories per day, 120 grams of protein, 72 grams of carbs and 48 grams of fat. If I can hit those numbers I should come in around the 1600 mark. I'm willing to up those to about 150g Pro, 90g Carbs and 60 grams of fat if I feel I'm taxing myself too hard. I'm aiming for that 20-30-50 (fat/carbs/protein) intake ratio.
Yesterday's numbers were quite a bit off, 8%-57%-35% (fat/carb/pro) but I'm happy to see how low I was able to keep my fat. This gives me options to up my fat intake and bring my carbs lower. Things are looking up. I'm planning good meals, preparing them the night before and am in general on top of things in a way that I haven't been in years.
Cross your fingers for me!
