My Training Diary

Hello. I am new to this site. I am looking for ways to keep myself motivated to keep a consistent rountine. I am in the U.S. Navy. I have not worked out truly since returning from Iraq in Sep 04. I failed a recent PT test and now have been placed on mandatory training.

Well starting this week I aside from the mandatory Navy training, I work out in the morning for about an hour.

Here are my stats:

Height: 5-8
Weight: 195
Goal: 165

I joined to help plan my routines. There forum really sucks!

If you guys have any tips I would really appreciate it.

I did not eat breakfast this morning.
I most likely will not eat dinner. If I do I will post it.

This is a big problem. Not eating will not help you lose weight. Do you eat the base dining hall, or do you live off base with a BAS? If the latter, cut those crappy frozen meals whenever possible. You got some good vegetables going, just add some fruits and lean meats(turkey, chicken, fish). For a snack you could eat some almonds or a piece of fruit. Cut your three meals down to accommodate these other meals. Keeping food in the body keeps the metabolism pilot burning.

Do you work out at home on some machine or do you go to the gym?

It all takes time!
 
Sorry I have not posted in a few days. I got really sick from the diet pills I was taking. I think I am going to lay off those and just go natural.

Tony...During the week I eat out the dining hall. I workout on base as well. I do live out in town though.

I will try to change my meal plan as suggested. I have not eaten in a few days, so I feel really drained after the sessions I did today.

Here is my update:

Saturday

I ran 3.62 miles in 52.22. There were a lot of hills in my neighborhood so it slowed me down quite a bit.

Sunday

I rested. I was also sick from the Lipo 6 pills I was taking.

I also did another hour of aerobics. My energy level was really down so I did not push myself.

I also weighed in today....on a regular scale with just my towel I weighed in at 186...in the PT office on a digital scale in uniform I weighed in at 192. I am going to go with the latter to keep me motivated.
 
Yesterday...

I ran on the Eliptical foor 60:23 and completed 6.75 miles...I also did aerobics for an hour and ran another 2 miles.

My legs hurt so bad I do not even want to walk...

Today I decided no cardio. I want to give my legs a rest.

I have not posted meals because I have not been eating at a regular schedule. Some days I eat twice...somedays I eat three times...I am working on improving this area. My appetite has really gone away...
 
Why do you run so much? Why don't you run one day, then on your next CARDIO day, do aerobics. Overtraining can seriously hinder progress. I think a revised weight training plan is also in order. Do a search to find good programs, like the Bill Starr 5x5. Achieving your goals doesnt require 3-4 hours worth of exercise a day. There are other things to do with the extra hours.
 
I would get something in you before morning training even if it's just a protein shake. Why are you not squating? I'd throw out the pec dec in lieu of some db pressing. I would also do some bb rows instead of the machine pullovers.
