1. Thanks for the sticky, it helped.
I'm currently 5'10'' and 225lbs and i'm not in shape. I'm getting married in 1 year and, even though she doesn't complain, I want to look good for my wife on our wedding night (and the rest of my life).
Here is my current plan:
1. diet
a. cutting myself off of soda. I've been drinking diet. going to use caffine pills to deal with the headaches till I can get off of those too.
b. cold turkey on sweets. sugar intake looks to be one of the main contributors to body fat. I guess it's time to kill the snickers addiction.
c. Higher protien foods like chicken and tuna as part of a balanced diet. I don't think burgers and fries will work with me here.
2. Building muscle. utilizing my breaks at work to go do some reps instead of moving from my desk to somewhere else I can go sit on my can. I guess somone else thought of this since there is a gym in the basement. (this will get me about 30min/day strength training 1 day / week.
3. "complete" workouts on tuesday and thursday (first and last day off work) at the gym consisting of squats, leg lifts, seated row, pull down fron and back, and the dumbell lifts I currently know.
4. Doing this sprint workout with the help of my fiance and Dog. Ironically, I do something similar to this just to play with him. So I'll really just be lengthening the run and timing it for consistency.
I realize that I'm one of a billion people who are fat and need to do something about it..... but I really do want to do something about it.
If you have something you think I should consider please take the time to help a bro out. hopefully in a year from now I'll be just one more brolly leetist prick making fat guys all self conscious
