so 2011 I’m doing the weight loss challenge at work. Currently I weigh right around 173ish pounds and work out 3-4 times a week at a local gym called LA Boxing. I’m in great shape and probably near the best shape of my life with the exception of a high body fat percentage due to getting out of shape. I’d resolved to lose down to 155 pounds this year anyway but the extra incentive of beating everyone at work at something and making around $300 by winning the challenge makes it more interesting.
In the past attempting to diet always came down to “what do I eat”. When you’re on a diet you don’t feel like imagining what to eat and that can lead to weakness so I’m putting together a list of things I can eat and restaurants and specific meals I can eat. It’s my hope that these will give me some extra push to lose that 20 pounds I’m gunning for!
