TRANSFORMED BEFORE 2024: STEVEN

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS SUCK

I'VE GOT A GOAL

I'M DOING IT NOW

FOLLOW THE JOURNEY

I HAVE GOALS TO HIT BEFORE 2024

"DADDY YOU LOOK FAT!" -- THATS WHAT MY SON SAID WHEN HE SAW THE ABOVE PICTURE. 8 WEEKS FROM NOW I WANT HIM TO SAY OTHERWISE. I'M STARTING THIS CHALLENGE AT A FLUFFY 250 LBS.

WHAT IS MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE?

LIFE-WORK-RECREATION BALANCE. I'M BUSY. I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME. THE LITTLE TIME THAT I DO HAVE, I NEED TO MAKE IT COUNT. TRANSFORMING MY BODY BEFORE 2024 WILL REQUIRE THAT I PREPARE MY MEALS IN ADVANCE, MAKE CONSTANT PROGRESSION FROM WORKOUT TO WORKOUT & FIND TIME TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF CARDIO.

GETTING WEEK #1 STARTED OFF RIGHT!

`THIS IS THE HABIT THAT I WILL BE FOCUSED ON EVERY DAY IN WEEK #1: GET A 10 MINUTE WALK IN AFTER EVERY MEAL WITH THE GOAL OF ACCUMULATING 10,000 STEPS DAILY.

MY SUPPLEMENT STACK: PRESTIGE LABS PROTEIN, PRE STEP 1, HEAT, CRUSH, ENHANCE & SLEEP MULTIPLIER. follow the labelled instructions.

WEEK 1 RESULTS: -5LBS (245 LBS)

FOLLOWING THE 3X3 METHOD

3 STRENGTH WORKOUTS PER WEEK

3 EXERCISES MY WORKOUT

3 SETS PER WORKOUT: 1 HARD, 1 MEDIUM, 1 LIGHT

3 MEALS PER DAY

3 WALKS PER DAY: AFTER MEALS

WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING WITH NUTRITION

I'VE REMOVED WHITE CARBOHYDRATES (RICE, BREADS, PASTA & POTATOES) AND HAVE INTRODUCING MORE BEANS, LEGUMES & BERRIES AS A PREFERRED CARBOHYDRATE SOURCE. THE HIGHER FIBRE CONTENT KEEPS ME SATIATED FOR LONGER & THE LITTLE BOOST OF ADDITIONAL PROTEINS APPEAR TO BE HELPING ME SHED FAT AS AT FASTER RATE -- MIGHT BE RELATED TO ADIPONECTIN 🤷🏼‍♂️

12 MINUTE RUNS

OKAY, SO IF YOU KNOW ME ... YOU KNOW I HATE RUNNING. BUT, RUNING IS AMAZING FOR OVERALL HEALTH & WELLBEING. SO, I'VE BEEN WORKING IN RUNS INTO MY DAILY HABITS. WHAT I DO IS REALISTIC & SIMPLE! ALL I DO IS I RUN 12 MINUTES IN ONE DIRECTION & WALK BACK TO MY STARTING LOCATION. THE MISSION IS TO COVER MORE DISTANCE EACH TIME. SIMPLE, RIGHT?

WEEK 2 RESULTS: DOWNED BY COVID ...

SO HERE IS THE DEAL ...

WHILE COVID SIDELINED ME FROM MY WORKOUTS, I STAYED FOCUSED ON SUSTAINING MY EATING HABITS & KEEPT MY WALKING STEPS UP ABOVE 8,000K DAILY. HERE IS THE GENERAL NUTRITION PLAN I'M CURRENTLY USING:

MEAL #1: PROTEIN, CARBOHYDRATE & VEGETABLE

SNACK: 20G PROTEIN

MEAL #2: PROTEIN, CARBOHYDRATE & VEGETABLE

SNACK: 20G PROTEIN

MEAL #3: PROTEIN, FAT & VEGETABLE

WEEK 3 RESULTS: -8LBS (242LBS)

VISCERAL FAT

LOOK, I'M REALLY TRYING TO GET MY WAITS CIRCUMFERENCE DOWN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. HOLDING ON TO ALOT OF WEIGHT IN YOUR BELLY & HIPS IS NOT GOOD FOR OVERALL HEALTH. IT'S A SIGN OF POOR LIVER FUNCTION & HIGH CORTISOL. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING TO SLIM MY WAIST:

I'LL EAT 1 CUP CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES WITH EVERY MEAL

I INCLUDE THE JUICE OF 1 LEMON THROUGHOUT THE DAY

AND I'VE STARTED USING 6 EGGS FOR MY DINNER AS MY PROTEIN / FAT SOURCE

CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES, LEMON & EGG YOLKS ARE INCREDIBLE FOOD SOURCES TO OPTIMIZE LIVER FUNCTION.

PRESTIGE LABS: CRAVINGS CRUSHER

HUGE FAN OF THIS SUPPLEMENT. IF YOUR ANYTHING LIKE ME, I HAVE THE TENDENCY TO CRAVE CARBOHYDRATES LATER IN THE DAY, PARTICULARLY ALCOHOL. WHY I US CRAVINGS CRUSHER AT DINNER, MY CRAVINGS DECREASE & I FEEL LIKE MY CHILL MODE ACTIVATED. THE 5-HTP COUPLED WITH RHODIOLA & ASHWAGANDHA DECREASES STRESS LEVELS & HELPS ME GET TO SLEEP VERY QUICKLY!
