Sorry for the lame name. I was going to call it "PEELEing Away the Fat" since I'm doing OPT Remix but I probably won't be doing it for the full 3 months so I thought the title might be misleading. I also considered "Krispy's 6 Month Donut Diet" but realized I didn't want to be thinking about donuts while dieting.

Background:

Age 40
Weight: Around 140 - I did the original OPT program from September to mid November and went from 140 to 134, but I had too many goodies this holiday season. I will way myself on Sunday to get my official weight and measurements for the challenge, as well as the dreaded pictures.

Goals:

To reduce my body fat to approx. 20% (I don't have anyone to use calipers on me so I use an online calculator strictly for trending purposes, not accuracy) - I'm estimating this will be around 130 pounds and take about 2.2 months)
To increase NEAT
To maintain or gain muscle

Plan:

I'll be starting Opt Remix on Jan. 5 and will post the details for week 1 then
To clean up my diet and eat less sugary sweets
To eat at the macronutrient ratios in the OPT Remix plan
Wear my Bodybugg daily to make sure I'm hitting at least 10,000 steps a day (after my allergic rash clears up)

Once I hit my BF/weight goal, I'd like to go back to NROL workouts. I've been doing Hypertrophy I since mid-November and although I really enjoy the workouts, I've been having health problems (an allergic reaction) since the beginning of November that will not resolve with the usual meds, so I thought it would be a good idea to cut the aggressive training for now.

I am really looking forward to taking part in the challenge. I've never done one of these before but have always wanted to!
