My biggest weakness - Alcohol!
I've been working out and eating healthier for about 2 1/2 months now.
I lift weights 3 times a week, do cardio 2/3 times per week, and I've seen some pretty good results so far. I've only lost a few pounds, but I can see a definite change in the mirror and in my waist size. My bf% was 18% when I started, I plan on getting remeasured in two weeks. (Guessing around 15% now) During the week I eat 6 meals a day, not nearly as strict as some here, but quite an improvement over what I ate before. The problem is, when the weekend comes around all that healthy stuff goes out the door. Pretty much every Friday and Saturday night I go out and get wasted, I'd say at least 12 drinks each night. (I'm 25 and single) I also tend to eat unhealthy things like pizza and fast food on the weekends, whereas during the week I have been avoiding it. In addition I'll go out one or two week nights and have a few drinks (2-5), but not a lot. My question is, will this lifestyle prevent me from reaching my goal of 10% bf? I continue to make progress, but I'm wondering if I'm basically undoing all my hard work on weekends. I've been tracking my calories on Fitday, and I can see the amount of empty calories from alcohol I'm consuming, which is a bit alarming. I doubt I could give up my social life, but I'd like to hear some opinions and others' stories. |
