Current weight: 81kg ish
Goal weight: 68kg
Target date: 31/03
1kg a week for 13 weeks.
I was around 68kg before Christmas last year, feeling pretty fit. I spent the first lockdown doing lots of indoor training, and home exercise, eating healthily and carried it on for most of the year, 4.25w/kg ftp, which I was nudging up.
Then Christmas, lockdown, horrible Covid, and 3 months of mental and physical fatigue. Developed a delivery food habit, and far less cycling/exercise than normal.
81kg is not the heaviest I’ve ever been, but I know that I have to reverse it quickly.
Slow and steady dieting doesn’t really motivate me, hence the pretty lofty weight target.
I’ll be following a strict low/slow carb diet, aiming for 1500 calories daily.
About 8-10 hours of martial arts related training a week. Some additional nutrition as necessary for training.
