I would appreciate any and all help for me to get the best results from working out my body. I have been pursuing exercise and weight loss since Septemberish. I have lost 14 pounds. I started at 180 and I am now 166. My goal was 150 but I think I might go lower than that to achieve a healthy size. I'm not sure yet. ETA: I'm 5' 10" and 20 years old.
1. I have not been dedicated enough to making changes in my nutrition that last. I regret this but I am coming clean right now wanting to fix this for the best. I do well for a few days at a time - maybe a week or two at a time. But then I slip up and I go downhill from there and it takes me a bit to get it right again. It’s just a stupid cycle.
I made some goals yesterday to help me with this. Burn 600 calories 5-6 times a week through cardio (elliptical, treadmill, bike, stairclimber). Work out legs on Paramount machine 3-4 times a week (extension, press, curl, kickbacks, calf raises, adductor, abductor) 12-15 reps and 3-4 sets. (I have only been working my legs for a couple weeks now...my gym has full equipment for back, arms and shoulders. I just haven't learned/started those yet.)
I was thinking I would eat 1200 calories a day this week. 1400 a day next week. 1300 a day the third week. And 1500 a day the fourth week. I am trying to plan on a month schedule to motivate myself longer term. *smile* I don’t know if my numbers are appropriate or not so please feel free to ask any questions or suggest anything.
Anyhow. That’s about where I am. I measured this morning to keep better track of my size and goals. I also use Tae Bo and TurboJam when I can. Most usual foods: Cheerios, Wheaties, turkey/provolone/wheat sandwiches, carrots, romaine, chicken breasts, chef Boyardee cups, 100 calorie snack packs, eggs (rare)….
Any suggestions? Critique? Advice? I would love the help. Please be nice. I'm here to learn. Thank you!
