WELL DONE!!! I’d love to hear about your meal/workout plans!
Hi everyone!! Thanks so much for the kind words :-). This progress took place over a year. For everyone who’s asking my diet/workout routine is below:
DIET • No processed foods • ~1200kcal /day • Focused on calorie density: filled up by eating lots and lots of veggies and some clean protein • Minimal sugar or alcohol • Daily probiotic + ACV shot (less gas = less bloated tummy)
EXERCISE • weightlifting 5x/week (3 lower body focus days, 2 upper) • HIIT 2-3x/week (stairmaster and/or boxing) • walk 10k+ steps/day • LOTS of stomach vacuums every day (please YouTube stomach vacuums if you are unfamiliar; such a simple and impactful way to spend 10 min of your day. I attribute a large portion of my waist whittling to this exercise.)
I started the pandemic at 130lbs and strictly adhered to the above guidelines for roughly six months — that got me to 110lbs. Last couple of months, however, I’ve taken a break from health and fitness to be a human (enjoying yummy foods and not working out). I’ve been chilling and eating whatever (Taco Bell please) but in reasonable portions. This has led me down to 107lbs.
