Eight weeks ago I started to work out regularly again and two months ago, I had the last cup of coffee ... a quite huge change for someone that used to drink 2-3 coffee per day while working. Nevertheless I still didn't have any, no milk coffee, no Latte Macchiato or anything similar ... only hot chocolate. Does it feel different? Yes for sure, but I don't feel the need to depend on coffee to get things done and that is most definitely a relief.
In the first month I lost 4.7 kilos and as of now one month later, I am currently down by 6.8 kilos - according to the gym I already lost more than 9 kilos but also built up muscles at the same time with my exercises that are mainly targeted on the upper body / back. In June I was not able to bike as much, because the weather was somewhat loony and I was also away for 8 days for a live event coverage in Spain. The next one is already in sight with plenty of preparation and website maintenance ahead, it limits the opportunities to do more for the body.
On average I still get more than 100km by bike done per week and the gym is happy to welcome me at least 3 times per week. In the usual 90 minute session I added two new exercises for the back and increased the weight for the usual schedule by 25%, slowly getting back in a shape where I can say I feel more comfortable. The nutrition has changed and I don't try to eat any fast food, cook healthy and prepare a fresh salad in combination with grilled chicken breast at least 3 times a week. By mixing various ingredients it gets less boring than most would imagine and I haven't had any alcohol for almost three months either.
As of now I am not sure yet where the detox will lead me, I am looking to lose another 6.7 kilos and build up more muscles for the upper body and shoulders ... because otherwise I will run into issues sooner or later while sitting behind a computer screen for the vast majority of the daily work. A six-pack is not mandatory, but I would love to get rid of the "jelly belly" - sure it is by far less than before but a flat stomach looks better than the raccoon version.
Cliffs:
- 6.8 kilos weight loss in 8 weeks
- no junk food or alcohol for 2 months +
- NO COFFEE FOR TWO MONTHS
- 100km + by bike each week
- 3 times at the gym per week for ~ 90 min sessions
