I totally believe in serendipity and the universe has been sending me a message lately.
That message has been to lose weight and get my old ass in shape again.
Just this past weekend I turned 51 (no cake please) and was thinking this was heading into the downhill slide…getting fat, weaker and turning into a grandpa <- that’s what my girls always say “Are you a grandpa?”
Honestly, I’ve put on quite a bit of weight since moving back to the U.S. and as of this morning am weighing in at 228.4 lbs (103.6 Kg).
It’s too much and needs to stop. As I've been reminded.
And I’ve been getting the message, but haven’t listened.

So ok universe, I get it. It’s time. Time to lose weight and get back in shape. Despite my somewhat advanced age. Probably because of it in fact.
So, the journey begins. My Steemfat Challenge.
The first step is to get under 100kg and since I’m not too far from that and just starting out I think it’ll be an easy goal. Then I’ll be looking at losing by 5kg increments until I get to 80kg. We’ll see about adding muscle from there, although I’m sure some muscle will be added during the journey. I firmly believe that the best way to lose weight is by adding muscle.
It could be difficult considering my age, but difficult is NOT impossible. Ultimately I’d like to see if I can get to 85kg with 12% bodyfat. Yeah, that’s definitely a stretch goal. We all need stretch goals to motivate us beyond our comfort zones.
February 1, 2018 begins Steemfat Challenge for me. I’ll update here. The frequency will depend on how much interest there is. I don’t want to bore anyone with my fitness/weight loss journey. If there’s interest I’ll update more frequently, but if there’s no interest I see no need to update more than once every 7-10 days.
