1 year in San Diego has taken its toll on me with nearly zero exercise and access to a seemingly never ending supply of nearby breweries... I'm gittin' hitched in May and wasn't too keen on keeping the baby beer bump for the wedding. Started going to the gym 4 times a week in mid-January (heavy on cardio with weights mixed in) and moved to a much more strict diet, supplementing with a protein shake after workouts. So far I've gone from 172.4lbs on 1/16 to 157.8lbs today. I still have some fat around my stomach, love handles, moobs, and back of arms that I need to work on but have noticed a huge difference in a relatively short amount of time.
I'm pretty slim to begin with, which made the gut that much more noticeable even when sucking in. I think I may ease up on the cardio a bit and focus more on lifting in the last month or so leading up to the big day as I don't wanna be a twig swimming in my suit.
I've was previously relatively active whether it be riding a century, running a half marathon, hiking, lifting etc; however, I became suuuuper sedentary after moving out here from NYC and transitioning into a 100% remote role. It feels good to be active again and coming back down from the heaviest I've ever been.
- Wish I could be out in SD, the running roads and trails out there must be amazing. Nice update + good on you... your heart'll thank you.notype
- As dull and repetitive as it could get, I do miss the ease and convenience of doing laps around Central/Prospect park.duckseason
- Nothing like CP out in SD?notype
