Current body:
Images below. 178lbs at 5’10. Don’t know my exact body fat but that mirrors make look a bit fitter than I am.
Goal body:
Image below. My goal is modest and doable. My biggest problem is sugar. I’m addicted. I recently went 3 weeks without and was feeling great but then go back on it.
I’ve been working out off and on for years now and I’ve been in great shape before so I know mentally I can get back into even better shape.
My problem is that I simply don’t like lifting. I start getting results and then I slack and those results disappear. I’m trying something new and using the X3 system now. Seems gimmicky to me but I have two close friends that used it and got great results so 8m gonna try it since I have limited time during the day.
Starting to log to help keep myself accountable. Feel free to chime in with advice or comments!
Time to get back into shape!

Workout done!
Todays calories: ~2600
Todays protein: 160g
Today weight: 175lbs
I’m using the X3 “recomp” protocol on losing fat while gaining muscle. Essentially eat less than maintenance while consuming 1g of protein per pound of bodyfat.
Need to consume higher protein food so I can get the protein I need without going over maintenance.
According to one calculator I used my maintenance is around 2700calories a day.
Day two of no sweets is in the books. I’m finding this much easier than last time I tried.

My go-to for killing craving for sweets has been; drinking water and eating fruit.
Whenever I'll get the urge to eat something sugary, I'm now thinking "I must be thirsty" or "I haven't had some water in a while. I'll drink a bit and see if I still have the cravings in an hour or so.
Usually what happens is I forget all about it.

UPDATE
Back to back COVID infections has kept me from working out but now that I’m feeling better I’m back at it.
First workout of the year in today using the X3 system.
I’m really thinking of maybe going back to traditional barbell work but not sure yet.

Hopefully it will be fine tomorrow and I can get my workout in.
