no exercise today AGAIN... i havent exercised since saturday. i have been really tired and sick, and my chest is hardcore congested. i ate quite well today again, with no hiccups in the program. hopefully my cold clears up and tomoro ill get in at least 20 minutes of some light cardio. Also, for my work, wich is 3 days a week, i work 8 hour shifts as a janitor at a warehouse. pretty shameful title, but i get paid $10.50 an hour to do one of the easiest jobs i have ever seen. AND one of the best parts of it, i walk around non stop all day. i probly walk on average 2-3 miles a work day at an average walking speed. i forgot to take into consideration my work, but i still need to get on my cardio. So at least my diet was on track today, and i think i was definitely at a deficit. tomoro is another day, and cardio must be done in order to reach my goal of 4 times a week(min).

If your going to to lite cardio, try to get in at least 20 minutes a day. That will help get your heart up to pace. If your doing more rigurous workouts with weights and cardio, then 4 - 5 days a week is more than enough. Just remember, keep that diet in check. Don't look at it as, "Ok, I did good today, now on to tomorrow"... that's going to spell failure. You need to look at it as a LIFESTYLE change. Once you see it like that and not a day by day task to eat healthy, then you'll be on your road to success. Stay strong brotha man.

I disagree with the last comment, if you are sick and under the weather give your body a chance to get better, sit back relax and get ya some vitamin C in ya. Be 100% before getting back into it. Remember if your body isnt 100% it sure is tough to try and get your body to rebuild everything you tear down during exercise. God speed on your recovery.

Well its been awhile since i posted. I am however en route to my goal. ive lost about 9 lbs so far since january, but the best part is i have 0 cravings. I mean, if the food is there then i do crave it but i keep it out of the house. when im out, i do all the little things i thought were gay before (ordering without mayo, dressing on the side, putting half my meal aside) and i have to say, it feels pretyt good. ive started jogging, and i have to say i love it more than eliuptical. being outside, the fresh air, the scenery... Im gonna alternate between jogging outside and eliptical. My diet is great and my motivation is even better. Im hoping to be around 215 by may (13 lbs in 2 months) and im gonna start doiing more cardio to help get there, and i wanna be 200 by july! lets get it on.
