Dealing With Challenges Of Losing Weight As An OTR Truck Driver

1. **Weight Loss Progress** I begin the third week of my fitness journey, starting at 168.5 lbs in early September and reaching 161 lbs after three weeks, with a goal to lose one pound per week until January 2025.

2. **Challenges of Food on the Road** I describe challenges as an over-the-road (OTR) truck driver, including buying and cooking my own food. I emphasize low-carb, high-protein meals, and avoiding unhealthy truck stop options by stocking my fridge with keto-friendly foods.

3. **Exercise Routine** I carry 25 lb dumbbells and exercises inside my truck, avoiding public truck stop workouts. I aim for 20-30 minute exercise sessions, 4-5 times a week, and walk around when possible.

4. **Sleep Difficulties** As an OTR driver, irregular schedules impact sleep. I prioritize 6-7 hours of rest to support weight loss and overall health, despite the unpredictability of driving shifts.

5. **Reflection and Goals** I reflect on my progress, aiming to reach 150 lbs by January 2025. I highlight the importance of consistency in diet, exercise, and mindset while sharing my journey to inspire others.
