So a few years ago I used to be semi fit ( my physic would be nothing special to anyone on here). I would work out atleast five times a week and would have a decent diet. Over the last two or three years I got depressed and stopped working out. I started eating more and more shitty fast food and began to drink. I was dry before and let me tell you craft beer packs on the pounds like nothing else. The last year I tried to get back into shape by trying all of these different plans. My issue was that I would go from complete slug to trying to change my diet completely and do some six day a week two hours a day body builder plan. Ultimately I would fail. I went ahead and read the liam fitness sticky and decided to take some baby steps. I recently cut drinking to a no more than 3 beers on the weekend, started counting calories, and have started the 5x5 strong lifts plan. I am thinking of doing the Bizzy Workout Diet after I do a few more weeks of strong lifts. Any tips on what to do after that? I need a intermediate plan that is realistic. I am not going for Arnold's competition fully time consuming plan just yet. I was thinking of mabye short cut to shred by Jim S. Any advice or stories of similar situations would be awesome
