Im Matt and im new to this forum, but i am not new to health and fitness. Im 22, and im in the US Military. I had struggled with my weight during my teens, but regained control of it when i was 19. Last August i was transferred from a more physical job, to a desk job. Then i got married in December to the love of my life. Those 2 factors, accompanied with a more than plentiful diet, made me balloon up from 175 to about 200. For about 2 months i cut out most my carbs and did lots of cardio. I relied solely on the scale, and it discouraged me from continuing. Last monday i trashed the scale, and started a new regimen. (the one i knew i should have done from the get-go) I do all my exercise upon waking up, except for the mile and half run, which i do midday.
Cardio:
40 minutes elliptical machine (7 days a week)
1 1/2 mile run (every other day)
Weight training:
day 1: bis and tris
day 2: chest and shoulders
day 3: back and abs
then 2 days off and start over
Nutrition:
(sample day)
breakfast: Chicken breast, brown rice, salad with low fat dressing, skim milk
snack: banana
Lunch: tuna sandwich (whole wheat bread, 6 oz of tuna, extra light mayo)
snack: apple and beef jerky
dinner: trimmed sirloin beef or veal and 4 cups spinach.
Although i just started 6 days ago, im already fitting into most my clothes loosely! I will allow myself a full cheat day every 2 weeks.
