First let me say Merry Christmas to everyone!
I hope all of your holidays have been as enjoyable as mine.
I went over to my parents’ place Christmas Eve to play board games, eat good food, and enjoy each others company. I also slept over for the night and spent Christmas day with my parents and two brothers. Follow that up with a traditional turkey dinner with my Grandparents and you have a pretty awesome holiday!
Turkey dinner was amazing by the way! Definitely stuffed myself.
What!?
Yes..I ate a lot of turkey, mashed potatoes, salad and desert!
Isn’t that cheating?
Nope!
I finished my plan on the 24th. Good planning on my part right!? :)
Yes, I went three months with no sweets, fast food, alcohol (except once…I let myself try the 18 year old scotch one of my best friends opened…only a little though), sugary drinks, refined carbs, and any other junk you can think of. Pretty good right! Ya, but unfortunately it’s also the reason I’m writing this with a stomach ache!
So are you just going to go back to sweats? No! I let myself eat what I wanted to this weekend for two reasons. First I feel I earned it and second I wanted to shock my body so that it remembers what junk food is like. My body was adjusting to the clean eating. Can’t have that if I’m going to continue losing fat.
A couple questions I’ve been asked a lot since finishing are “How’d I do?” and “What’s next?”
Here are the answers:
I think I did ok…I lost a total of 20 pounds and dropped 7% body fat. My final stats where 185lbs and 8.5% body fat. So…ok right!? I also accomplished a couple of my fitness goals, which were to get to 10% body fat and to do 100 pushups consecutively without breaks.
What’s next? …well I need to set some new goals. I already have some ideas and plans but I will talk more about these in my next blog post. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and remember…
Live Healthy,
Jonathan
