Round 2

Round 2: Body Transformation Challenge

Goal: Get Under 250 lbs

I’m kicking off another 8-week body transformation challenge with a clear goal in mind—drop below 250 lbs. This marks the second round of this journey, and I’m coming in stronger and more informed after learning a lot from the first challenge.

What I Learned from Round 1:

• Consistency is everything—both in workouts and diet.
• Getting my steps in daily made a huge difference.
• Quality sleep isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
• Fasting is a powerful tool when used strategically. I’ll be continuing with both intermittent fasting and longer fasts ranging from 48 to 63 hours.

What Happened Between Rounds: The time between challenges wasn’t an ideal representation of how I plan to maintain my weight long-term. My birthday fell during the break, and knowing I’d be back at it soon, I indulged—dessert every night kind of indulgence. As a result, I’m starting this round 11 pounds heavier than I ended the last. That said, I expect a lot of that to drop off quickly—some of it’s water weight, and I anticipate being back to my previous low within the first week.

Adjustments for This Round:

• Increase daily step count to 18,000–22,000.
• Stay consistent with Tuesday night group workouts.
• Focus more on core strength in my lifting sessions.
• Plan to fast most weekends and possibly attempt a 72-hour fast.
• Keep diet similar to last round—it worked well, so no major changes there.

This time, it’s about refining, tightening the screws, and staying consistent. I’m coming into Round 2 with momentum, clarity, and a better understanding of what works for my body and lifestyle.

Let’s get after it.
