Goal: Lose 10-15 lbs by eating in caloric deficit and counting macros for 12 weeks.
Why:
- To feel better in my body & boost overall confidence (i.e. become my “best self”)
- To see muscle definition
- To halt year-over-year “weight creep”
- To prove to myself that I can, i.e. practice pursuing tough goals
For the next 12 weeks (8/27 – 11/18), I will:
- Track my food intake & hit macros (get close most days)
- Protein 126g – top priority
- Carbs 120-168g
- Fats ~56g – let them be, but keep low
- Calories: ~1500 kcal
- Track weight daily.
- Prep food at home weekly – keep it simple, i.e. cook lean proteins & chop veggies
- Continue regular exercise routine (6-7 days/week).
- Weight train 3X/week
- Cardio: F45, running
