Although it feels like day 1 at AA here's my Day 2 with my new scales!

So, we enter LD3 and the gym shutting. Think I’ll give this thread a miss for the next few months. See you on the other side, bigger than ever!

Anyone else up for a bit of a Lockdown 3 Challenge?

I’ve decided to go the other way to Ewan and Geoff, and treat Lockdown 3 as the perfect opportunity to kickstart my weight loss / fitness campaign. There’s going to be fcuk all else to do for the next 6 weeks, so I’m going to go hard at using the time to lose fat and gaining muscle.

My plan is do this by eating healthily (cutting down / eliminating snacks), no booze, and doing some form of exercise (either weights or cardio) for at least 40 mins every day. I’m also going to see how high I can get my average daily step count...

I’m fortunate to have a gym at home with some weights in, but even if you didn’t you could do body weight stuff such as squats, dips, press-ups, etc..

Below are my stats for Day 1 of LD3:

Weight: 87.1kg (Fat: 22.0kg, Fat Free Mass (FFM): 65.1kg)
Body Fat %: 25.3%

As per my earlier post, my PT comes to my house whilst the gym's closed. This is still allowed under the terms of the lock down.

So, 3 times a week, from 7am-8am, he'll turn up with a boot full of weights and equipment and we set up our makeshift gym in my car port (has roof, but is not enclosed and therefore technically outdoors!)

My diet is fully tracked and I'm currently on just under maintenance calories at around 2,000 per day. Plenty of chicken and veg basically.

I can thoroughly recommend Nandos cook in the bag seasoning to make chicken breast and spinach more interesting.

I'm going to be using the bike. We're self isolating so no PT for us except via Zoom.

I do a mean chicken soup if you're interested. It's spicy but can be tamed with sour cream and very simple... Or shall we start a healthy recipe thread?

Thank you very much, I've always said that you're very kind and generous man. I'll forward you my address to send me some.

I'm of the same view. Went off the rails in December and put on nearly a stone ... and I aim to shift most of it in January.

No drinking, healthy (ish) eating and lots of exercise.

A set of Renpho scales arrived today and tell me that I have a metabolic age 5 years lower than my actual age. They are clearly excellent. £25 very well spent.
