Hey guys,
Today marks 2 full weeks since I have stopped eating out, not exercising, etc. Prior to 2 weeks ago, we would eat out maybe 4-5 times a week, I would always over eat, not exercise at all and drink no water (but 3 energy drinks a day).
NOW - I am eating 6 reasonable meals a day that consist of whole grains, veggies, chicken (sometimes noodles), low fat cheese, etc. Not the cleanest diet but the purest I have ever eaten in my life! I have 100% whey protein shakes (one with toast for breakfast and one post workout), take redline energy supllement and I do 170 situps each night + either light/moderate weight or 30 minutes on the elyptical. I also drink water like a camel, and that is all I drink other than those protein shakes.
I started out at 233.5 lbs. Over the first 2-3 days, I got up to 236.5 for some reason, and at the end of my first week, I dialed in at 228.5 - I was very happy! Now, after another week of hard work, I am at 231. My body fat percentage seems to show to be bouncing from 27.5-28.5%, and not really any improvement.
I feel stronger and think I look better - but to be honest with you, I don't see how thats possible if the scale doesn't show it, so it could be all in my head. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
