You Never Really Feel It ‘til You Die From It

Friends, I am 170.8 lbs this morning. I’m down about 12lbs over the last 6 or so weeks. I’m really starting to notice it now. Stomach is way flatter always, even after eating. My pants are starting to fall off me, which is actually pretty annoying, some days I feel like I’m walking around in a big diaper. There’s constant hunger at this point, even after just finishing eating I’m hungry. But this isn’t unbearable by any means and I’m definitely not starving myself. The weather has been fantastic so I’ve been moving my body way more with all of my farm and garden chores and I’ve been going on multiple walks per day, so the caloric deficit is noticeably more

Trying to balance my life with such little time to spare has been challenging but we’re making the best of it. We’re almost at summer’s solstice so shorter days are ahead, which means chickens will go to bed earlier and so will I

I’ve got 2 more weeks on my current workout plan and then I’ll be switching to a calisthenics based workout routine focusing on toning while getting even leaner. It’ll be a slower approach to muscle growth and will start incorporating muscles that aren’t typically targeted during traditional free weight exercises
