Let the fat loss begin! I’m really excited to see what is underneath this fat I’m carrying around. I cannot wait to reach my goal of 15% body fat. It’s going to be hard work, but I’m going to do it. Even if I’m not there by January 10th, I’m going to keep working until I hit it.

I started my new nutrition today, and I’m already feeling it. I’m so tired!!! I should probably taper down my calories so I’m going to add in a bit more food for the rest of my day so my body doesn’t think it’s starving. To switch phases I’m going to be changing my caloric intake as follows:

5 days of the week: 1,620 Calories maximum (40% carbs, 40% proteins, 20% fats)

2 days of the week: 2,300 Calories maximum (40% carbs, 40% proteins, 20% fats one day, and the other day closer to 50-60% carbs and reduced protein and fats)

Not a lot of carbs (besides the leafy kind) other than breakfast and pre-/post-workout. I’ll probably cut down even more when I get further into this phase. For now, I’m starting out well. I just have to keep my eyes on that prize!

In another 3 weeks I’ll be re-evaluating and modifying as needed.

My workouts are scheduled as follows, and will probably remain about the same for awhile:

Monday: AM-MI Cardio on empty (done); PM-Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Abs

Tuesday: AM-Legs & HI Cardio

Wednesday: AM-LI Cardio on empty & Abs

Thursday: AM-MI Cardio on empty

Friday: AM-LI/MI Cardio on empty; PM-Back/Biceps/Abs

Saturday: Legs & HI Cardio

Sunday: AM-LI Cardio on empty & Abs

All the best to you and your goals!
