OK, so I didn’t really make an official opening statement when I started this log:
Like I mentioned, I’m very thankful to be chosen to log this. I’m in serious need of dropping weight, and this couldn’t have come at a better time!
My annual physical came back bad.. High bp and cholesterol… Not good. Those both run in my family, so I’ve usually kept close tabs on both. This past winter, I let myself go. When life finally slowed down enough to start focusing on the gym again, I opted for the weights instead of cardio..
I’ve decided to work myself up to a 10k, and depending on how my body reacts, I may even try for a half marathon towards the end of the year. I seriously think I could afford to drop a good 15 lbs..
During this log, I’ll only be using either coffee or caffeine tablets for my preworkout, along with agmatine powder. Ever since I went to the hospital last year for AFIB, I've been super sensitive to caffeine. The regulars, like fish oil, multi, and plenty of protein obviously fall in there as well.
My rotating shift work (days/nights/weekends) throws off any solid routine, so I workout or run when I can. I’ll be updating this log often each week, and be posting possibly “during” photos, and definitely the “after” photo at the end.
I’ll be using this as per the directions.
Thanks to all that follow and keep this log alive. As always, I’m open to any/all advice or constructive criticism.
