Fat Boy Chronicles: It's Time for a Change

Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by. I’m creating this log to hold myself accountable, and change my life. I’m a 38 year old male, who has been overweight all my life. I’ve always been insecure about this, and my goal is to change my physique before my 40th birthday. I have about 1.5 years to transform my body and I am ready to put in some serious work! I am a recovering alcoholic, I have almost 3 years of sobriety. I was 425 pounds at my highest weight. Looking back at those days, what a very dark, dark time I was at. The days are much brighter now, and I have lost about a hundred pounds already, but I want to start training. I have a background in lifting in my younger days, and I sometimes go to the gym here and there, but I am not consistent. I am prone to depression, and I have noticed that if I don’t eat enough protein, and I don’t lift weights, I start to spiral and get depressed, and just start to crumble. My goal is to workout consistently, track macros, eat clean and get cleaner forms of dopamine, instead of video games, phones, and junk food. Enough talking, let’s get to work!

Stats:

38 Male 6’0 335 pounds

The plan:

Weight lift, track macros, eat clean, cardio
