I began a challenge with my brother, who's 10 years younger than me.
By the 1st of January, I want to drop down to 77 kg, from 86.3 kg, and he wants to reach 75Kg, from 66.6 kg.
After the 1st week, I'm down 1.7 kg, which is great, because it shows that I'm on the right track.
Now I'm aware that the majority of that loss is water weight, but it's always a great initial motivator.
Because of this challenge, I weight myself 3 times a day.
Once in the morning on an empty stomach.
Once in the afternoon, before I go train.
Once in the evening, after I get home from the gym.
Might sound like overkill, but I'm curious to see how my weight fluctuates throughout the day.
No weight lifting, for now, because I prefer to do my 2 Muay Thai classes and 3 individual heavy bag workouts a week.
Muay Thai classes are, at least 1.5 hours long, although, most of the time, I go in 10-15 minutes early and hit the bag.
For my individual heavy bag workouts, I do 12 x 2-minute rounds, with 1-minute rest in between.
Before individual heavy bag workouts, I'm looking to implement ~15 minutes of weight training, but only do 1 exercise, 1 warm-up set, with low weights, and 4 sets of 8-10 reps, with heaviest I can lift.
However, since I'm still at the beginning of this journey and challenge, and still recovering from my knee injury, I'm gonna give my body time to adjust.
It's already exhausting doing what I do and I don't want to burnout.
