After Vegas I’m Getting Serious

One of the reasons why I think I haven’t been getting serious again with my fat loss, is my trip to Vegas. I’ve got it set in my head that I’m going to go there and have a blow out so why start getting serious again with my fat loss when it will be a complete waste of time. This is definitely the wrong way to think. It two weeks off Vegas now, and if I really put my mind to it I could easily lose 6 pounds. This is only 3 pounds per week, which for me is extremely easy. All I need to do is drop my daily calorie intake and the weight loss is guaranteed. I reckon I’m consuming at least 3,500 calories per day at the moment, I’m lucky in the sense that my metabolism is fairly fast due to my exercise workouts and eating every 2 to 3 hours.

If I can drop 6 pounds in body weight in 2 weeks this will put me back to my lowest weight of 2009. I’m staying at the Stratosphere whilst in Vegas and they have an indoor and outdoor fitness centre. To reduce my weight gain whilst in Vegas I will probably get in a few workouts. I know 100% in my mind that I will eat lots and lots of food because having been to the states before there portion sizes are a lot bigger than here in the UK and most of the restaurants are buffet style were you can help yourself and fill your plate till it’s overflowing with food.

Hopefully I will return from Vegas having maintained my body weight and body fat percentage. Once I get back to England I’m going to knuckle down and do the things that will allow me to lower my body fat percentage and get back on track with my fat loss journey. I know in my mind what I should be doing to lose the fat, but I just haven’t been doing them.

Here’s a list of the things I have been doing that have allowed my fat loss to stall over the past few months.

1)Not eating a good protein source during every meal, most meals at the moment are all carbs and fat. This is not good for losing fat and gaining muscle.

2) Eating lots and lots of junk food washed down with lots and lots of beer. No wonder I feel like my beer belly is growing fast.

3)Snacking on chocolate and crisps in between meals.

4) Not drinking enough water and green tea which helps in speeding up my metabolism.

5)Not doing enough cardio exercise.

I know what I need to do and once I return from Vegas. I promise you, I will get straight back to it and you will see a reduction on my body fat chart week after week, till I get to my target of 10% body fat.
