There comes a time when an individual, who puts in the effort, goes from fat to phat (and sometimes in reverse I.E Val Kilmer) and I do believe that the time has come for me to go along the phat path. I have gone from moobs to chesticles and now the next logical step is chest; I’ve gone from family pack to mono pack and now the next logical step is a strong core! According to the BMI scale I’m now in a healthy weight range (at 185cms and 82.80kgs, I have a BMI of 24.2 which falls under healthy which tops at 24.9) but we all know BMI is not the best or most accurate judge of health according to weight (in some studies it shows being overweight will make you live longer than those who fall under a healthy weight). But the way things are going now, I have a good idea of the changes and how they work. Starting this experiment last year, I started at 91.84 and have lost 9.04 kgs; I’m 1kgs away from 10 and that’s a solid effort with not much done (which makes me wonder how I got to that stage). Again, this is not a diet but a switch in a few things in regards to what is eaten and a consistent effort at the gym. I’m still eating what I like and what I love but again small changes to get maximum results with little effort. So with the path I am on now, I’ll be adding protein powder to the mix to get a higher protein intake for muscle growth but still trying to get a decent intake of high quality protein, fresh leafy greens, good complex carbohydrates plus whole grains (for more info, it should be in my first blog). Also I have started making my own home made protein bars due to me not wanting to pay the prices at the gym AND supermarkets and get bored after the 876th line of ingredients. Mine has 4: cottage cheese, oats, protein powder and natural peanut butter. The texture is a bit schmaltzy but in regards to taste it’s pretty good.
So this experiment has now taken an interesting twist but with the new physical challenges I have set myself I will need to increase my meals. What are these new challenges you ask? Well, I am going to tell you! This year I’m going to take boxing classes/MMA classes for fun and today I have decided to attend a Kettlebell workshop that will hopefully increase my knowledge and skill on these fantastic little cannonballs with handles (and also I get a certificate of attendance which kicks ass). So this week will have more Ice Baths, good quality protein and the same as before. So for those who follow this and see a weight gain, I assure you it won’t be me slacking off and eating crap…that’s for March. So all in all, thank you for the love and support and I’ll be ready to write a conclusion for those who want. I already have 2 interested and a request but I am open to more and will do my best to help those who want it.
