All in the name of progress!
At 5'11" I'm definitely within an acceptable BMI range, but my body composition is still sub-optimal. When I was in the beset shape of my life, I weighed 155. Right now I'm probably carrying close to 10 lbs of fat on my stomach. I was just thinking about that while walking the other day, how much lighter I'd feel without it and how much better I'd be able to move. Plus, I'll be sexier. I wouldn't hate being able to see my abs again. But the big reasons, which I think I mentioned, are that I need the extra motivation to stop eating sugar, and I want to test out so-called cutting edge weight loss methods. Pretty much every night for the last week I've had the same conversation with myself:
"That sugar looks pretty good."
"But I don't want sugar..."
"YESSSSSS YOUUU DOOOO!"
"But I..."
"Why deny yourself the pleasure? It's not like you're trying to lose weight!"
"Okay, fine..."
Having a weight loss goal should make me more committed to eating right. I also find exercise and nutrition science fascinating. A few years ago it was all about keto and high intensity interval training... now people are talking about low intensity exercise in a fasted state. I want to see if it actually works.
