Day 20 - As mentioned previously, I have absolutely put on some pounds. So I just weighed in - 211 pounds. When I started my quit, I was 208 - 3 pounds doesn't sound that bad, but I am absolutely sure I have lost muscle and put on more fat and am certain my body fat must be over 25%.
Altho I have been working out (weights, treadmill, elliptical) my workouts have been pretty lame (4 effort on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is puking) and I have been eating like shit (McDonalds, etc)
so I went outside for a 3 miler with my wife today and was DYING.....almost puked....big difference between 20 minutes on an elliptical and 3 miles outside - definitely need to get back.....so here are my thoughts - all of which i have done before.....
think my program is going to be loosely based on Body for Life (have done that with HUGE success in the past) bring back the basic supplements (multi, joint, omegas - nothing too extreme) train for a half marathon for cardio (versus the 20 minute solutions in BFL) and count calories with weight watchers for men (also have used that in the past with great success)
I am NOT going to start all this at once....as my #1 focus is my quit and that fucking bitch - which I will commit to quit every day.
Going to start with the running (nothing crazy - 3 to 6 milers - and supplements - which is a piece of cake - first for a few weeks - just so the suits fit better. And cycle in the weights......then maybe 30 to 45 days out bring in WW for men to keep an eye on calories.
Goal is to be back at 208 by next week and under 190 on the 100th day of my quit.
