What I’m Doing

Getting in the best shape of my life over the next 12 weeks.

Diet

I’m keeping it simple. I’ll eat 5 or 6 times a day. Most meals will have a carb, a lean protein, and some green veggies. The last meal will just be protein and veggies. I’m not counting calories or macros. I just want to eat better without stressing out.

Workouts

Every day I’ll do some cardio and lift weights. Cardio will be at least 40 minutes a day. I’ll do strength training six days a week and take Sundays off from lifting. No days off from cardio. I’ll share more about my workouts in future posts.

Habits

I’m focusing on building better habits over the next 12 weeks. The men’s group I’m a part of on Fridays says to do hard things, so I’m going to base my decision to adopt a habit based on it’s difficulty. Examples of habits to finish are: I’ll get up at 5am, get to work early, read more, and finishing an online class on Excel. I want to get used to doing things that aren’t easy.

Today’s Workout

Today’s workout consisted of 40 minutes of cardio outdoors. For me, being outside is where I feel most alive. There’s a trail near my house that’s path runs parallel to the Cumberland River. It’s a blessing having access to nature’s beauty in a city.

Strength training consisted of super setting barbell and machine back exercises with Kettlebell swings. I did each set until failure.

Here’s today’s progress picture. See you tomorrow
