I’m done worrying about weight. Cardio is good for you. I love it. It feels good. However, when I break my fucking toe, hurt my back, feel sick, etc… it’s gone. Not to mention it takes muscle. I’m done worrying about the scale, manipulating water, looking in the mirror and seeing half of what I should or could be. I’m done not wanting to lift, so I do cardio. Cardio releases endorphins and I feel great. Lifting is hard for me.
Bottom line: doing cardio is comfortable and at this point, useless except for health. For that reason, I will do it a few days a week as rest days during bro split. It’s time to gain muscle and lose fat. Everything will be geared towards that. That will be accompanied by lots of changes.
First off, I’m changing gyms. Lifetime has been great but it’s too nice, too expensive, and too far. I want to grind. I want to grind close to home. Can’t wait to get to Pro-Fitness and do just that. Grind in the dark with an extra hour of sleep.
I’m adding carbs in the morning, only fasting on cardio days. I’m adding creatine and whey protein for after working out. then I will eat again at dinner, mostly protein. Finally, I will finally track macros and meal prep accordingly.
So I will be 196 this summer. More important, I will be fit, not just a feeble skinny 48 year old. I need muscle to eat up calories so I can eat more moving forward. ❤️💪🏼
Every day is a grind. I’ve gained and lost a lot of people during this transformation. Time to give myself 💯. 😌
Be back with update in august. You might be shocked. You might not. Shit, knowing me, I could be 260 with diabetes 😂.
One day at a time.
