Day 1 of my 7-Day Reset.
Not perfect. Not starting from zero.
Just done drifting.
My 7-Day Reset Plan
Intermittent fasting (your window)
Keto / low carb focus
3 weight training days
Interval walking (40–60 min)
No snacking at night
I Stepped on the Scale…
I stepped on the scale the other morning on one of my days off…
And I already knew I wasn’t going to like what I saw.
Not because of the number… but because I knew exactly how I got there.
193.
Now honestly—it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be.
But it was bad enough.
Because I know exactly how I got there.
I haven’t been behaving myself.
Getting sidetracked.
Overthinking everything.
And if I’m being real…
Just flat out being lazy.
Here’s Where I Screw This Up
- Boredom eating
- Handfuls of nuts turning into 500+ calories
- “I’ll just grab something quick” turning into garbage food
Enough Is Enough
So starting today, I decided I’m done with that.
No more drifting.
I want to get down to around 160… lean, in shape, and feeling like myself again.
So I woke up with a different mindset:
👉 I’m resetting. Right now.
This Is Day 1
Here’s exactly what I’m doing this week:
- Lifting 3 days
- Interval walking 4 days
- Sticking to a fasting window
- No eating out
- Controlled, planned meals
This isn’t extreme.
It’s just me getting back to what actually works.
Because I’ve done this before.
I just stopped doing it.
This is my personal 7-day reset.
Not perfect.
Not extreme.
But I am going to push myself.
Training
- Lifting weights 3 days a week
- On my days off → going harder
- Longer interval walks
No guesswork. No excuses. Just work.
Cardio
- 4 days of interval walking
- At least 2 additional days of regular walking
50 minutes. No shortcuts. Just showing up.
Fasting (My Way)
8:00 PM → 11:00 AM (15 hours)
And yeah—I’m keeping it real:
- Half & half in my coffee
- Low carb yogurt
Not perfect fasting… but it works for me.
Hydration + Sleep
- 100+ oz water daily
- 7–8 hours of sleep
No excuses there.
The Real Problem (For Me)
My problem really comes down to two things:
👉 Eating out… and snacking.
And if I’m being honest—snacking is the bigger one.
I tend to binge eat.
I’ll come home and just start grabbing whatever is there.
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Chips
- Ice cream
- Handfuls of almonds and pistachios
It doesn’t even matter what it is.
I just keep going.
It’s like I’m comforting myself with food when I’m bored…
or stressed…
or just in my own head.
The other one is eating out.
And that one is honestly just lazy.
Running through a drive-thru.
Grabbing something quick.
Or going out for a big, calorie-heavy, carb-loaded dinner.
And I know it’s not good for me.
There’s no confusion there.
It’s just choices I keep making when I don’t feel like putting in the effort.
This is the part nobody talks about.
Not motivation. Not hype.
Just tired… and choosing not to quit.
So Here’s the Goal This Week
If I can get those two things under control…
Everything else falls into place.
Day 1 — Done
Day one is done…
And I nailed it.
No excuses. No shortcuts.
- Got my workout in and pushed hard
- Knocked out about an hour of interval walking
- Stayed on my diet
- Hit my eating window exactly how I planned
- Logged everything
How It Felt
I’m not going to lie—it felt good.
Not just physically… mentally.
Because this is what I’ve been missing.
Not some complicated plan…
👉 Just doing what I said I was going to do.
What Matters Most
It’s only Day 1.
I’m not celebrating like I’ve won anything yet.
But this is how it starts.
One day of doing things right…
Then stacking another one on top of it.
