Hey guys!
Well, 18 September I started with my weight loss program, and I have lost 24kg, im down from 129kg to 105kg (well that was before the december holidays, im a little afraid to get on the scale again
)
The last 2 weeks I realised i lost much less, infact nothing. I was eating a little more than i use too, december is such a bad month, but i was maintaining my current weight atleast which was a good thing.
I have a couple of questions and hope someone can assist me.
* This year, I have a little more on my spoon with studies and work. I want to continue doing my exercises, but want to balance it out better. I use to do morning exercises everyday (jog, weights, situps) and played 45minutes - 90 minutes squash practically everyday. My body did not like this and later found myself over tired, really tired by mid afternoon and just couldnt keep up the pace. My figured that I would remain doing exercises each day, but balance it out that 1 day jog and weights and the next day squash for sunday - thursday and "rest" friday and saturday. What is the best time of the day to do exercises? Would it be better to do it in the mornings after you wake up or in the early afternoon? I found that I was loosing a lot of time in the mornings because i would only start to work at 11:00, so less time to work to pay the bills, and seeing that we went to go play squash at 17:00 i was neglecting on work. Does it really matter when you do your exercise?
* I jumped on a scale about 4 days ago and realised that my weight was still pretty stable, and this had my wonder how? I know for a fact that some days i was eating way over my supposed kilojoules intake. I was under the impression that whatever your body does not use, it stores, is this correct? I would love to get a nice explanation on how the kilojoules intake really works?
* I figured that I want to weight myself again the end of April. We're going away for easter weekend to a beach and want to "suprise" myself by then. considering that i will be doing less exercise, what food is best food to still maintain the same results? Each person I speak to has a different opinion
* I would love to build some muscle over the next 3 months, and realise that with the weights so far, my muscles would be more firmer, but not that visible. Is there specific foods I must eat to help with muscle building? My exercises I would usually do about 15 x 4 sets per day. My weights feel light at the beginning, and I would say it doesnt really strain me after the reps, so I do it fairly quickly? Is it a better idea to get bigger weights, and what is the correct way of doing it? Someone told me I have to do it slower to get the best results? Does it make a difference?
* I realise that I have a lot of loose skin at the moment. Someone smaller than I am who weight the same has a "firmer" stomach but my tummy is still hanging. Is there anything I can do or is my only option to get a tummy tuck? I also have stretch marks, which is kinda an embarrassing topic esspecially if I wanted to go to the beach soon
* I am 187cm height, I plan loose an additional 15kg so that I am around 90kg. What is the ideal weight for someone with this height?
