Day one. DONE.

I mean, I already work out, and consider myself bulky. My problem is that I got too bulky. So my plan is to reduce my body fat % to at least 15-18%, which I'm sure right now is in the high 20s.

I'm not following a specific diet. But what I find psychs people out is the actual word, because it makes it feel like a sacrifice, and makes them feel like they have to give up the best things in life (sweet bread for me). The way I see is to reduce the amount of foods that could deter my goals and increase foods that can help me reach those goals. I call it "Eat what you want, but pay the price at the gym". I won't completely stop some eating habits, as this would just make me resentful of working out, but the important thing here is MODERATION. I'll still have the occasional burger, go out to dinner with the wife, order take-out, but do it less often as I used to before this week onward.

The other important thing is to have a support system, like a S.O. Makes it easier when having someone else on board, she doesn't cook much anyways so whatever I eat, she'll eat, so it works out great.

Edit: I managed to sleep about 6 1/2 hours, that is a big improvement, believe me. Decided to opt out off melatonin and Zzquil and take a more "green" approach, if you catch my drift. Slept throughout the whole night except when the cat decided to honor us with a rendition to the Olympics in the middle of the night. Other than that, I feel somewhat well-rested.
