Loving this losing weight stuff however, I forgot how painful the process can be when you begin.
I'm not posting any stats or progress reports other than to say, my goal is to get my weight to an even 200 or 205. Sounds a little big still considering my height 6'0" but, that is a very comfortable weight for me. If I go under that then hey; Smiley face for me ;) I have already been dropping weight fairly quickly, I am seeing a reduction in the spare tire, as well as the man (o)(o)'s. I'm not following any pre-defined diet/exercise program, just what I feel like doing for the day.
Basically it goes like this:
0 sugar, 0 trans fats, maybe 8-10oz of meat per day, I get my protein from other sources, I cook most of my own food, lots and lots of veggies and fruits, 1 cup of good strong coffee in the morning, rest of the day, it's decaf, tea, water, or tomato juice. Of course you need some starches, so I have a little rice each day. And to keep the metabolism burning from the diet perspective, I eat a ton of hot pepper and hot sauces, I love those anyway.
Exercise is the killer. A straight out low calorie/low fat diet doesn't make you skinny, it just make you weak and hungry. So I do some hard exercising, (relative to my present physical condition), on average I walk 3-5 miles per day, broken into 3 sessions, I run at least 2 miles per day in the mornings, I hit the gym 3 times a day, and go for the burn in a different area each time.
Today it was:
Later this evening I will hit the gym one more time, for calisthenics. As a note, it is 3/4 mile from my room to the dining facility, I schedule these times into my work schedule, And yes, I spend a lot of time taking showers. Cause losing weight is hot sweaty work.
OK, Time to clean my room, again. Later..
