Trust me, I've been there.

My mom doesn't approve of me taking whey.

I'm one week into my excerise/diet routine, and though I've probably lost a pound or two (scales in the house don't support my weight), I feel real good. I've gotten over the hard part of working out, and now I look forward to doing it. On the elliptical machine, I've gone from only being able to do 4 or so minutes up to doing one of the full 20 minute workouts on the machine, as of last night. I felt like I could do a bi tmore, too, so I may shoot for another minute or two on top of the 20 tonight, then go to one of the 30 minute programs!

Actually, I was pretty much a beast lastnight. I didn't want to stop working out, lol. It just felt good.

I just got back from Vacation, is it okay if I start a little late?

yeah don't worry I did, they weren't too bad, my legs were after the run though... I hadn't been running for ages before yesterday and it showed!

Ok, so what's everyone's plan? I'm aiming to do the following:

• eat more or less the same diet I do now (which is relatively healthy), but not overeat when I go out (American restaurants = massive portion sizes)or when I'm drunk (I'm totally prone to the beer munchies). I eat a ton of carbs, fuck all ya'll Atkins types.
• cut out the mid-week boozing; we go out to a bar every monday to watch these two bands play, but I'll plan on limiting Tuesday-Thursday drinking to the occasional special occasion.
• get a LOT more excersize - I've started road biking in earnest now that I have a kickass road bike, and I'm back on a pushup/situp regime.
• quit my job and find one that sucks less. They say stress and lack of sleep inhibits your body's ability to not put on fat, and I've got loads of both right now.

I'm not going to set a "I fail unless I lose..." weight target, but I figure getting back under 180 shouldn't be unattainable, and ideally I'd like to put myself back into the 165-175 range from my college days. Then again, I was pretty scrawny back then, so if I put on any muscle from pushups that may not be attainable.

EDIT - the only dietary change I'll make, I think, is trying to cut down on my fat intake a bit. Leaner cuts of meat, not getting pepperoni pizza for lunch four days out of five, etc.

I haven't forged a plan for myself as of yet but I guess the first essential part would be for me to get my ass back to the gym. I stay pretty active but I need to work on my abs and get back to jogging on the tread mill. I used to do 3 miles a day and I really felt better back then.

I also need to start eating better. My eating habits are probably a big part of the problem for me. I'll go all day without eating and then come home and over eat. I notice when I'm really involved with something whether it be recording or working on the house I forget to eat and I just keep going.

:ok... so I've lost 50 pounds in the last few days.











Serioulsy I have no idea where I'm at right now as I haven't weighed myself since last week and I'm pretty sure I haven't lost anything.

Anyone having any sucess yet? I would to love hear some stories from the ones who are not already thin (bastards ).
