Day 68 | last 2 days

As I near the end of my cutting phase, the key to staying on track has been consistent meal prep and maintaining my daily activity levels. One thing I've found incredibly helpful is preparing meals in advance - for instance, my staple of chicken breast paired with white rice is a go-to for ensuring I get enough protein and carbs to fuel my workouts without overdoing it on calories. Adding Peach Oolong tea into my routine (unsweetened) has been refreshing and supports hydration without added sugars, which is crucial during a cut. While cardio was missed this past week, walking 14,000 steps a day helped keep my metabolism active and boosted fat loss. My workouts specifically targeting shoulders and biceps provide strength maintenance, essential to avoid muscle loss during calorie deficits. If you’re embarking on a similar weight loss and fat loss journey, focusing on sustainable habits like consistent meal prep, walking, and targeted strength training can make those last few days of a cut both manageable and effective. Stay patient and listen to your body – the end of the cut is just around the corner, and the results will be worth it!
