RE: Fit@40 #102 “Transformation Update” - 5 months in (Sunday 22 July)
Amazing result man! Trying to get in shape myself I can only respect you for the amount of work you have put in and the awesome result you achieved so far. You look great.
I was wondering what life is like being lean compared to Strong/fatter? What do you prefer? What are the most benefits in daily life?
Also did you get rid of your high cholesterol levels?
Keep up the awesome results and safe travels to New York!
Thanks @exyle!
Good question, I think it is easy to say 'I'm leaner, I feel great' but the the truth is it is hard work!
There is a certain comfort and "feel good" factor to being strong and fatter and eating what you like. I can't deny that. However in the back of my mind I know I'm eating myself to an early grave.
Being lean makes it easier to train hard. I can push my endurance more and train more consistently. A knock on effect is that anything else I need do day-to-day feels like a minor challenge.
I go back to the specialist in the Autumn. So fingers crossed!
