Big thanks goes out to dsade at EvoMuse for helping me reach my massive fat loss goal by offering to sponsor this log.
I'll post starting measurements and pics a bit later, but here's a quick intro.
I turn 55 next month. I reached my lifetime high weight of 267 pounds 3 months ago. YUCK!
I'm currently 252 pounds and I'd guess from 35 to 40% BF.
My goal is to get to 215 pounds and be functionally strong, limber, with good cardio endurance.
DSade believes I can get to a BF in the teens within 3 months. That would be AWESOME.
Here's the stack EvoMuse provided:
BRITE
EPITOME
AMMO
DCP
ABLIDERATE ADVANCED
THERMOGUM
I'm also using DEFUSE on my dime.
I plan to do low rep heavy resistance 3x a week
and some light cardio 2x a week.
My target daily calories is 1700. I'll do that by limiting morning and daytime intake to green powder drinks and protein drinks. When I feel snacky, I'll allow myself small portions of meet or cheese. I'll be limiting my carbs.
The challenge is dinner. It will be difficult and awkward for me to make my own dinner for reasons I won't get into, so I'll just be eating what's prepared for me, which will often include carbs. So, I'll just be doing portion control and relying on the drastically reduced calories during the day to stay within my calorie target.
As a result, I don't know how to track my macros, since the prepared meals will usually be mixtures and I won't know what quantities of each type of food is. For example, last night was taco salad. But, where I can, I'll track my macros.
I used to be fairly strong and my body responded to weight training quite well. But, a few years ago, I pulled a hamstring during a sprint, reinjured it later during squats, and then I hurt my shoulders and got the weight lifting equivalent to tennis elbow, so I'm far less confident and aggressive in the gym nowadays.
My goal is to post here daily, but I'll at minimum do weekly.
I'll have starting pics and stats with weekly progress pics/stats.
I'm looking forward to getting down to a healthy, nice looking weight again.
