Well I've made it to 168 lbs. I have been at this weight for the past week or two, and I can blame only myself for not being 165 or less. I have not had the will power to eat healthy or exercise within the past two weeks. I use to run 1 mile or more a day, do 100 or more pushups a day and eat three small meals with some light snacking, not to exceed 1400 calories while exercising every day.

Now that Halloween is around, there is candy and other unhealthy goodies around. It would be nice to live on my own because I would not buy or come in contact with such things. I only have until November 12th until I can have more free exercise time and November 30th is when I'm done my job completely. In December I hope, or rather I WILL get to 160 or less and tighten everything up so I can with a lot of effort but successfully complete my Navy bootcamp and BUD/s for the SEAL program I will be going through.

I haven't always had a strict lifestyle as I use to be the guy who was jobless for months at a time and then going flat broke and playing videogames 15 hours a day. I'm slowly but surely merging out of that habit as I probably only find myself playing 3-4 hours tops a day if that.

I'm finding it hard though. I'm suprised I haven't gotten back up to 175 by now from all the unhealthy eating I have been doing (pizza, candy, sweets, etc). I guess my metabolism is fighting as hard as it can to process all of the calories and sugar fat / calories I'm intaking compared to last week when it was all salad and whole wheat and nutrigrain foods.

Oh wells, if and I hope I don't get back to 170, I will and I'll start tomorrow because I ruined today already - begin by running in the morning and doing 100 pushups and attempting 100 situps, though I find situps difficult because I'm not use to them.

Any words of advice, meal plans, inspiration could help me right now.

Thanks.
 
read around the forum -- especially the stickied threads, and you'll get lots of good info...

I'd question your decision to go with the 1400 calories -that seems a tad lowish to me,

and this attitude

I will and I'll start tomorrow because I ruined today already -

lose it -it will be your worst enemy - you cannot ruin a day... it might not have gone the way you planned but it's not ruined do what you can to finish the day strong that way tomorrow you are starting on the right foot and not trying to correct something bad...

what kind of will power do you think it takes? what's stopping you? are you tryng to do too much too soon? managing your expectations is one ofthe biggest hurdles to overcome -just take it day by day and dothe best you can every day.
 
Where you say I'll start tomorrow because I ruined today already I agree with Mal.

There is nothing magic that says that you have to do anything in any of the minutes in the rest of a day - just because of what you have done earlier.

All you can have ruined is time that is past. The fallout can be reduced if you start taking action immediately.

There is no time like the present.
 
I guess that was something I said within the moment. I decided to eat better during that day as it progressed and hit the gym for a light workout.

What I need to get back into is and work toward, running 1.5 miles in 9 minutes, doing 100 solid pushups, 100 solid situps and swimming about a mile without rest.
