Sticking To My Diet Plan 100%
Over the past 6 weeks my weight loss and fat loss hasn’t really improved I’ve been unable to drop below 22% body fat. My aim is to get below 20% within the next 4 weeks. I know the reasons why I haven’t been able to move forward and it’s all down to my diet plan. Plain and simple I’ve been eating the wrong foods. I’ve been eating plenty of protein but I’ve been snacking heavily in between meals.
Well today’s Monday and I have stuck to my diet 100% which I’m very happy about, I’m going to drop my body weight to 190 pounds then I can finally start phase 2 of my body fat loss journey. Hopefully I will be able to cut down to 190 lbs within the next 4 weeks and the only way I’m going to achieve this is by sticking to my diet plan. I am not going to snack and I am only going to eat what’s on my plan till I reach this target weight.
The good thing about me is when I say I’m going to do something I do it, I will be at 190 pounds in less than 4 weeks and when I do there’s no reason why my body fat percentage should not be below 20%. Once I get below 20% I’m half way there because I started this journey at 30% and my target is to get to 10% before the end of the year. I’ve got my motivation back and I WILL lose this fat, I’m really unhappy with myself because I started off so well. 6 weeks of no results is not good, I need to keep seeing fat loss results week after week.
0.2% body fat reduction in one week just won’t cut it. I’m looking to lose around 0.5% each week from now on. I’ve got 12% more body fat to lose, so even if I lost 0.5% each week it would still take me 24 weeks to reach my target. This is going to be a long and slow journey and I’m in this for the long run. I’ve made a few mistakes recently but I quickly got back to it and that the secret to success. We all make mistakes you just need to make sure that you get back eating and training right as soon as you can.
No More Popcorn And Nachos For Me
One of my favorite past-times is watching movies I’m an absolute film buff. I go to the cinema at least once per week, even more now that I’ve got a unlimited pass to my local Cine-world cinema. Which is a fantastic money saver compared to the amount I use to pay every time I wanted to watch a film. I use to have the sky movies package at home, but every time a new film premiered on sky I was finding out that I had already seen them at the cinema.
I quickly came to my senses and cancelled my sky movies package and opted for an unlimited movies pass at my local cine-world cinema. It only costs me £11.99 a month so if I only go twice a month I’m in profit. At the moment I’m averaging at least one film per week so it definitely been worth the money so far.
But here comes the big downside to visiting the cinema often, I absolutely love popcorn and nachos with cheese. So even up to a few weeks ago I was still buying them, which is not good for someone trying to lose fat like I am. My last couple of visits I have been able to resist them totally which is what I needed to do at the start of the year. People on diets like me and you must seem extremely boring to our friends. I’m losing count the amount of times I’m now turning down going for meals with friends, because I’m scared of eating a large amount of calories.
The bottom line is, I need to stay away from these very tempting and fatty food if I’m to succeed and lower my body fat percentage to 10% and below. I have just returned from the cinema and I managed to stay away from the popcorn and nachos again which is good. I watched a comedy called Paul Blart Mall Cop it was quite a funny film and quite enjoyable. It’s been a busy day so far and I’m contemplating doing a bit of cardio later, but at the moment I’m feeling slightly tired so for the next few hours I’m going to chill out on the sofa with a cup of hot green tea and watch a bit of TV.
