Daniel's Deficit Diary

Start Here

Welcome to my corner of the internet where I try to lose weight using a wild strategy called consistency.

What I’m doing (right now)

• Eating window: 12pm–8pm (usually two meals, sometimes a snack if I’m feeling fancy)
• Food plan: repeat simple meals until my brain stops negotiating
• Daily movement: 15 minutes on the treadmill (yes, it counts)
• Strength training: 25-lb dumbbells (they are rude, but effective)

What I typically eat

• Eggs (my loyal coworkers)
• Chicken (the MVP of boring success)
• Salad with chicken (I’m basically a health influencer now)
• Apples (for when I want to snack like an adult)

My workout plan

Simple and repeatable, because if it’s complicated I will “start Monday.”

• Treadmill: 15 minutes daily
• Dumbbells (25 lb): 3 sets of 5 each
• Standing bicep curls
• Shoulder shrugs
• Standing shoulder presses

How I track

• Food: Apple Notes (I write it down so I can’t gaslight myself later)
• Workouts: daily tracker (proof it happened)
