Ok, been a week and we gotta change it up. This is ana on hard mode this time kids, ive got a hella physical job that burns a fuckton of calories and thats awesome and all, but the fact is doing the job on an empty stomach is impossible.
Honestly this job is a problem but i can’t quit for another couple of years. So we gotta find a way to work with it.
And like it shouldnt be too hard, im getting very good exercise every day and im sure i can use that to my advantage somehow. But its going to take trial and error. We’re gonna pick a high restriction number and stick to it for a couple of weeks. See if we get some progress. Then we can knock another hundred calories off the limit, more if necessary, and see how it effects the state of the union.
Of course, all this would be way easier with access to a scale. Gotta measure progress somehow. But like I said, this is hard mode. Im a veteran, ive lost over 100lbs in the field. If anyone can do it, i can. Just gotta figure out how to make it work for me. Already downloaded my old bestie mfp, and we are ready to rock again.
For an active lifestyle, mfp spit out 1630. Obviously thats an ugly ugly number. But for reference, according to my steps app, I burn over 1000 calories a day just from walking. Often i walk while carrying heavy shit, and i also do a lot of repetitive lifting while not walking. Im a distributor for a beverage company, and usually i lift more than 100 12pks of soda just in one store (i do 3-5 stores a day). Not to mention how many 2L bottles i lift over my head, and those come in a case of 8 which i also lift regularly. I know it sounds like im exaggerating, but i swear to you this is what im working with.
Not every day is like this. Sometimes i get pleasant surprises which mean less work for me one day which is nice because i get to go home. But what if ive already eaten 1000cal to prep for a huge job that ends up not happening?
You know the answer, kid. Just go to the gym or something. Its right in the town i work in. So easy.
Thats it, i just seem to have a fuckton of excuses. Well no more. Lets try for 1600 cal per day, as a starting point. We gotta commit or we’ll become our worst nightmare: the fat girl who gets thin and then lets it all come back again.
