Age: 22
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 210
BF%: Some lame dumb calculator online says its 14% but I'm more inclined to believe it's 25%+, hopefully I'll find some calipers or figure out how to accurately measure this
PLEASE POST ANY FEEDBACK OR EVEN JUST A CONFIRMATION OF "YES THIS WILL BE OKAY"
Background
I played a lot of sports when I was younger in middle school but during freshman year of high school I broke my hand and retired from sporting for a while and played badminton (which is actually a very hardcore workout if you play competitively). Soon I dropped sporting all together and became a cyberathlete(lol) and also got a girlfriend, causing me to gain a fuckton of weight (sedentary lifestyle and eating out 4-5 a week does bad things to you). I tried to get back into shape by training to run 5 miles in 40 minutes, but after running too hard and getting shin splints, I regressed to my sedentary lifestyle again. After a couple years of being Fatty McFatterson :btroll:, I want to step it up and HTFU. I've always wanted a good body, so I'm making that my goal, hopefully by Nov. 1st (my birthday, it's like a birthday present to myself!)
Goal
Reducing my BF% to <10%!
Assuming I'm at about 28% BF, which is a ballpark estimate, that means I have to lose about 1% BF a week to make my goal. Hopefully more goons can weigh in on whether this is realistic or feasible.
Also, as a side goal, I would like to be able to run 5 miles in 40 minutes.
Toxx :toxx:
Will shave my head on 11/2 if I fail, as a reminder to my own shortcomings!
I may adjust this according to feedback on my goals/routine, so I'll post a real Toxx in the Toxx thread once I have everything 100% figured out. If this is not okay, just let me know and I'll do whatever to rectify the situation!
The Gameplan
Since I'm a poor ass mofo and do not have a gym membership, I'm going to start with the
Mon: Day 1 Workout
Tues: Day 2 Workout
Wed: Rest/light activity (take a bike ride, longboard around, go rec swimming)
Thurs: Day 1 Workout
Friday: Day 2 Workout
Sat: Rest
Sunday: Jog 3 miles
After I attempt a Day 1 workout today, I'll come back and adjust my individual day workouts. I plan to step it up a notch every time I work out.
Diet
After eating fatty Chinese food everyday, I've finally made the executive decision to cook healthy for myself. I'm going to try my best to adhere to the paleolithic diet plan (my friend is a Crossfit nut and swears by it) and try to keep my calorie count to about 2000 a day, and drink a lot of water (8 cups a day).
I.E. Today I had a bowl of oatmeal (about 1 cup) with about half a cup of skim milk and a tuna burger (about 4 oz of tuna + a bit of egg + onion + celery) seasoned with spicy mustard.
Finally, what everyone is interested in, pictures!
Will update with a daily weigh-in, daily diet, daily workout thoughts, and weekly pictures!
