2017 Goal: Reach 110 Pounds & 25% Body Fat

It’s mid-April and I actually have not set my 2017 goals yet. It’s saddening that I can’t bring myself to set this year’s goal at the right time. However, I probably would want to cut myself some slack due to the busyness of my 2016 with the wedding & the adjustment to my drastically changed life.

So the first major goal I want to achieve by December 31, 2017 is to have a body weight of 110 pounds and a normal fat percentage of 25%.

Let’s see where I am now (as of April 14, 2017):

• Current weight – 140.5 pounds
• Current fat percentage – 34%

Based on my height and activity level, these are the normal numbers:

• weight – 109 to 122 pounds
• fat percentage – 25-30%

Oh boy, I’m so messed up right now 😅 I’m obviously both overweight and have too much fat on my body.

While I have faith in myself and in God that I will be able to achieve whatever goals I set, I’m not sure if 8 months is enough time for me to reach this weight and fat goal. But hey, with the right mindset and proper planning, I might just be able to!

Here is what I plan to do starting today:

• drink at least 2 liters of water a day
• limit food intake to 1,200 calories a day
• limit rice intake only during breakfast
• stay away from beef and pork as much as possible
• no more soft drinks (bye Coke 😢)
• no more junk food (bye Cheetos 😭)
• no more processed food (bye Spam 💔)
• use the stairs when working at the office (from 7th floor parking to the 12th floor office work area)

I aim to reach my goal of 110 pounds and 25% fat.  I will not beat myself up though if I don’t get to those numbers by December 31, 2017. But I will definitely beat myself up if I don’t even improve!

Wish me luck?

Yearend review: I wasn’t able to achieve 110 pounds and 25% fat this year.  However, I got good progress!  See, I lost 11.9 pounds and 2.8% fat!  That’s good progress.  Let’s see if I can finally achieve my target weight and body fat this 2018.
