For most of my life I've been a very very skinny man. Over the past 15 years though I've filled out a bit more. While I certainly don't want to go back to skinny which would make [Challenge 3](https://amorechallenginglife.com/challenge-3-everyone-wants-to-lift-heavy/) impossible I do want to lean down as well as cut out some bad habits around food(large amounts of evening snacking).

This will be a two step challenge. The first part covering the first two months will just be to track everything I eat in my calorie tracking app.

Once I've gotten into that routine my goal will be to run a calorie deficit to reduce my bodyfat percentage to 12%. I don't intend to stay at 12% though I'm looking to settle in around 15% but I want to hit 12% as a hard challenge first.
