Modified Version of Leigh Peele’s Challenge – My Guidelines

One aspect of Leigh Peele’s Challenge just doesn’t work for me – the one meal a day concept. I’m traveling for work during the next month and that means no kitchen to cook in on at least 3 days, maybe more. So I can’t offically enter her challenge – instead I’ll continue to do old school tracking at Sparkpeople.com (Here’s my food intake). The other parts of the challenge work well so I will use them – if you can’t make a plan work with the life you got, then you have problems.

The ultimate goal is to get back on track and back into the habit of working out and eating right. The last two months have been full out havoc on those two things. I’m also using the framework to move forward on some other goals I have for myself, which has been outlined on the previous day’s post.

So what do my guidelines look like??

MACROS
Calories a day: 1900
Protein: 160 Gram a day Minimum
Fat: 42 Grams a day Minimum
The rest of my macros can be a mix of Carbs, Fat, and Protein.

Supplements
MultiVitamins
2 Fish Oil Caps

Training
2 Weight workouts a week from TNT
Low Impact Cardio on the Days that I don’t weight train
MAX OUT Pushup Program (Do as many full pushups as I can 3X a day – this could be interesting because right now that number is 0)
Mobility/Recovery Work

Pictures and stats will be posted later this evening!

Challenge Goals – The Next 30 Days

These may be modified after I get the actual Challenge guidelines from Leigh.

But here are my goals for the next 30 days – It’s time to stop procrastinating.

1) Meet the guidelines outlined in the Challenge for the next 30 days.
2) Use one of my cameras every day.
3) Write something everyday in a non-journal site.
4) Get everything cleaned up at my house.
5) Get stuff listed and sold on ebay.

It’s time to get off my ass and start working towards my dreams.

Leigh is at it again

The FatLossTroubleshooter, Leigh Peele, is at it again. She’s running a 30 day challenge that winds up just before the Thanksgiving Goodness (here in the US that is) is unleashed upon the world. Checkout the challenge at her web site.

I am A-Peeleing Again

I’m working with Leigh Peele again. The focus right now is Fat Loss and Metabolic repair. And in talking with Leigh, we decided that Pylometrics are not in my best interest at this time. I just don’t have the stamina to do them with all this weight I’m carrying. Maybe in the future.

For most of June, I’ve done little exercise due to lots of travel with work. I’ve kept calories in check at the recommendation of Leigh, but nothing more than walking, stretching and foam rolling for exercise. For the first time in a really long time I’m seeing some significant weight loss and my clothes are looser. I’m down almost 10 lbs since the start of the month and most importantly I’ve almost lost the all weight I managed to regain in the last 6-9 months.

With hard work I should solidly be in the 240s by the end of next month.

One of the things I’m also working on is figuring out healthy alternatives to the food I really like. So if you like to cook check out my Clean Eats Site.
