Post-Holiday Reset: My Updated Habits and Tracking Methods for Weight Loss I’ve updated my habits and tracking methods post-Christmas. After seeing a few unflattering photos and feeling uncomfortably full from a week of indulgences, it’s clear I need to commit to weight loss. Right now, I’m determined to stay accountable. To help me stay on track, I’ll be sharing weekly updates with screenshots of my progress. Here’s an overview of my approach: Calorie Goals and Adjustments I’m aiming to consume around 1,700 calories per day (without any exercise adjust,emts) to achieve a weight loss of approximately 2 pounds per week. I’ve also recently started taking creatine ( https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-benefits-of-creatine) , which may cause temporary water retention, so I’m giving myself a one-week buffer before expecting to see weight changes.

  Weekly Health Progress Update Week in Review This past week, I made steady progress toward my health goals. Here’s a breakdown of key metrics and averages: Average Weight : 225.1 lbs Daily Calorie Intake : 2,453 calories/day Exercise Calories Burned : 880 calories/day Net Calories (goal: lose 2 lbs/week): -40 calories/day Protein Intake : 104g/day Average Fasting Duration : 15:30 hours Steps Taken : 11,479 steps/day From Garmin : Average Heart Rate : 59 BPM I’ve been battling a head cold, which likely caused a slight increase from previous weeks. My heart rate ranged from a low of 53 BPM on 1/3 to a high of 63 BPM on 12/28. Observations & Adjustments : As expected, I gained a few pounds of water weight after starting creatine. I’m excited to see how next week plays out in terms of weight loss. I’ve been eating back some exercise calories; if I don’t see progress, I’ll need to adjust that strategy. Stay tuned for next week’s update!

Michael Jordan Reflection

Image
It’s the week of Christmas, but I didn’t want to let too much time pass without posting. Today, I want to reflect on one of my favorite athletes, competitors, and people: Michael Jordan. Even though Michael Jordan defeated my beloved Sonics (RIP — go Knicks now!) and disappointed my 7-year-old self, I’ve always appreciated his competitiveness, his drive, his theatrics, and his relentless will to win. As an adult, my admiration only deepened when I read his trainer Tim Grover’s book, Relentless , and watched The Last Dance . These works gave me a greater appreciation for someone who was famously cut from his varsity team in high school, yet went on to become the epitome of hard work and excellence. What struck me most was that even when Jordan was at his peak, he never stopped striving for perfection. His work ethic and dedication were unmatched, even by those already considered the best. One of my favorite quotes from Jordan encapsulates this perfectly: *"Maybe it's my fault. ...
