Starting my Cut Phase: Goals & Commitments

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:

  1. 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
  2. Track weight daily.
  3. Prep food at home weekly – keep it simple, i.e. cook lean proteins & chop veggies
  4. Continue regular exercise routine (6-7 days/week).
    • Weight train 3X/week
    • Cardio: F45, running
