Hello,
I know there are so many threads out there of people asking about loosing weight and what not. I was going to post there, but didn't want to hijack others thread.
Like everybody, I am trying to loose some fat in my body.
Specs:
18, 19 in 2 months
6ft 2in
weigh about 208ish
I have always been going to the gym but EXTREMELY light and not doing much, and i've actually gain some pounds :sad2:
But recently, id say maybe 3 weeks, i have been trying to really focus on my workout sessions and my diet.
Lately, i have been going to the gym about 3-4 days a week (aiming for 4-6 days now). My workout session would start with a 16-18min cardio work out at a fast pace. After getting off all sweaty, i cool down walking around the gym (24 hour fitness) and then i move to work on abs. about 3 reps of 15 at 80lbs. After i do abs, i do some arm lifting on the machine same, 3 reps of 15 at about 80lbs. I then move on to chest work with the same 3 reps of 15 at 80lbs.
OCCASIONALLY I'll swim a few laps in the pool, but dont really like showing my fat -_-
Now on to my diet:
I tried calculating my diet within calories and carbs, but its hard to count home cooked meals. I try to eat very minimal of fatty foods, NO fast foods (quiznos and subway count?)
My day would be a bowl of cereal with milk or just plain wheat toast, for lunch usually a turkey sandwich (wheat bread, turkey, and american cheese. sometimes if i have it in the fridge i'll throw in lettuce). As for dinner, im asian so we eat white rice, which i try to eat VERY little of, and try to eat more of the vegtables and meat than rice. (usually chicken, sometimes beef, very little pork)
for fruits, i usually have a banana, apple or a mango.
and thats my day.
For drinks, i ONLY drink water, with the acception of milk in my cereal. no sodas, no juices (sometimes i'll have 8oz of oj).
sorry for the ultra long post, but as i was reading other peoples posts, helpers will end up asking these questions ^^ so hopefully i didnt miss anything.
Basically my main point of this thread is to ask if this is a healthy workout session at the gym and if my diet is okay or not (as in a good way to loosing my belly fat) All help would be greatly appreciated. thank you VERY much
