Last year around October, while crossing a street a speeding motorcyclist pretended i was the invisible man and proceeded to run me over. It wasn’t too bad, 12 stitches and a busted ankle (Could have been worse, i would have lost my good looks) from then on began a nice little saga. I weighed in at 175lbs working my way to get under 170.
Then boom, couldn’t workout for another two months, got married, traveled around and when i got home i came on the scales at around 210 lbs. For those who cant visualize it Google the term beached whale. You will get the picture.
Anyway, since march, i have had constant ribbing about it and for the last month or so i have been gradually hitting the gym with regularity.
The aim is to get back to 175lbs before the year is out.
The Plan -
Spirits not Beer
Climbing not using the Elevator
Steamed vs Fried
Sweet n Low vs Sugar
Diet Coke vs Classic
Gym 4 days a week vs 2 days
Cardio at least twice a week
Weight Train at least twice a week.
For those looking for the easy way out i would recommend cocaine not weed, smoking vs not.
Jus kiddin’!
Good list, Gaurav. The most simple equation to remember for those trying to drop weight is this: calorie exertion>calorie intake = weight loss. That’s it. You don’t have to be a calorie counter to make this work, just generally be aware of your calorie intake. Also, aim for 4-5 smaller meals a day rather than 3 square meals a day - it’ll keep your metabolism up.
I’m actually on a mission the other way - when I moved to India, I weighed in at an athletic 185lbs. Now I’m down to a puny 165lbs. My main motive has been to gain some lean muscle mass, but more akin to a swimmer or runner’s body. Apparently, everyone in Mumbai thinks the only way to look after weight lifting is like Arnold Schwarzanegger.
