I’ve finally hit my “big goal”, 200lbs. Considering that at one point I was at about 240, that’s a big deal. What’s perhaps even cooler is that this is considering the muscle I’ve put on, meaning that the 40 lbs. that I lost was all fat. I honestly never saw myself doing this, but at the same time I don’t see a reason why I shouldn’t continue on.
Trevor (my trainer) gave me a meal guide today as to what meals to eat and what combinations of food facilitate good muscle growth while continuing fat burn. It was pretty interesting because it’s more than I’m eating right now so on my next trip to the grocery store I have some new things to buy and try. Unfortunately for me, none of it is a frozen TV dinner. (Damn!) So I’ll have to start cooking/preparing lunches at home so that I can take it to work and then put it in the fridge. Is it worth it? I’d say so– I think I’ll save more money anyway preparing food at home than buying a TV dinner for $4/each.
Now my final goal is to hit 190 or 180 lbs, with all my fat loss. So 190/180 of muscle, I can deal with. Will I look like a body builder? Hardly. I don’t think my body is built like that. But finally I’ll feel good about myself.
I’m out.
