Re: Weight Loss - Tips & Daily Check-in
Well how you think I feel, LOL, i'm 4 inches shorter and 31-35 pounds heavier, LOL! But I do have a barrel chest so that could account for a little more weight than just it being fat. I definitely would not look good if I got to the recommended weight from the official doctor charts of 180 pounds. In fact I figured it out once with my body fat and all that, and if I got to 180 pounds then I would be dead!
My doctor said my ideal weight would be 215-220 so that is my goal. Honestly from looking at myself I would agree that seems about right. I really don't have much fat in my head, neck or outer arms or legs, it's almost all in my torso and there is a slight bit at the top of my arms and legs where they meet the torso. My goal at this point would just to get to the point where I could take my shirt off to swim and not feel repugnant. That would be a fantastic achievement for me.
So I had sushi and strawberries for lunch. They had pizza here and I did sneak one small square of cheese pizza. I did some good work at the gym. I did 15 minutes on the bike, then weights (moving from one weight set to the next without stopping, talk about keeping the cardio going, whew!) for about 20 minutes, then finishing up with 20 minutes on the tough elliptical (a modified elliptical). I burned about, guesstimate here, 600 calories. When I was done I ate a can of tuna fish.
I'm sitting at about 900 to 1000 calories right now I think. It's a little higher for me but since today's weight lifting day I'm not going to freak out too awful much. Depending upon how hungry I am tonight I may make up my last little mini-pizza with lots of vegetables or I may go the soup route.
