Hey everyone!
I have reached my weight goal of 75 kgs! My waist line is at 32 inches! It has been hard work but I am feeling so much better and eating and training so much better.
With all this I must be honest and say that my body fat did not drop down to 15% as I wanted it to. I went a bit slack on my diet and training.
Just to recap I started off at 101 kgs, with a waistline of 36 and body fat percentage at 28%. This is what I looked like about a year ago:
This is me now:
There are a lot of take aways from my experience
1) It is possible to lose weight.
2) I learned a lot more about training and enhancing a healthy lifestyle for myself.
3) I have a new respect for bodyweight exercises.
4) I have more energy and more flexibility and mobility.
5) I am not bound by food yet I eat till I'm satisfied.
6) My strength level has increased.
7) I have learnt how to make my training time productive.
On this quest we also had the good report that we were expecting our first child! That's excitement enough and motivation enough! One thought in my head was my wife is pregnant and I am not. We don't enter the tummy growing competition as we see so often with couples who are expecting:) I decided that as hers grows, mine will reduce! I do have a responsibility of being a healthy father and one who can set an example.
I would like to thank my wife, my dad and mum, my pastor for all their support and encouragement. I also would like to thank ISSA Master Fitness Trainer Ratnadeep Tatgade for his guidance..
Also this is the main program that I followed on my journey to reach here. It is in the book 'The Classic Physique' by Matt Marshall
If I could do this anyone can. Put the excuses behind you and go for it. I did have setbacks in between which took me a bit longer to reach my goal but I stayed with it and made it. Make a quality decision, set your goals and go ahead. Don't let anything stop you because its yours to take.
By the way, to celebrate the accomplishment I rigged up a simple but delicious shake. Check it out here.
