Broke my wrist 6 months ago, took the opportunity of being off work to sign up at the gym. Started off just doing cardio(treadmill etc). As my wrist began healing after surgery, have moved on to weights. Have adjusted my diet down to 2000-2500 cals a day. Still need to eat better quality of food, but at least im not consuming 5000 calories at night anymore. Signed on for Personal trainer sessions, been using pilates and yoga to strengthen core, up to 1 hour on treadmilll or elliptical for cardio...when I first started couldnt even do 20 minutes...
So in 5 months since ive been keeping track, went from 267 to 239(28lbs), 37.5% to 32% (5.5%)bodyfat, lost 3 inches along my waist, hips, and chest, gained 1.25-1.5 inches around arms and thighs. I am pretty proud of myself!
Not too bad for a 37 year old beer drinking and cigarette smoker....Well I gave up cigarettes last year, its been 1 year this april, and gave up daily beer drinking, that part really sucks. But I made a commitment to be in the besty shape possible by 40 years old.
