At the peak of my over weight stage, I was about 270. After 9-11, I burned it off in a horrible way in about three months. I went from 270 to 202 in that time.
I say organized because I never really put much thought into the weight lifting. I did it usually to get bulky, not defined. I never dieted right nor did I really try to.
I have done extreme diet loss before and about twice a year now sine I've joined the Navy Reserves. I don't want to do that and I want to maintain the mass that I get up. I have been trying to diet with the six small meals a day for the past month. I do the diet during the week because it's easier to do that at work being in IT in the civilian world.
I want to keep the diet and workout thru the year so I can learn a new life. Not a crash diet that kills me twice a year.
Generally, I do some lifting in the morning. Trying to target larger muscle groups to get calorie burn higher to eat the fat buildup. I used to drink beer A LOT before Navy and have always fought the beer belly since then. Now I fight the remnants and an Alaskan Native gene war. We Alaskan Indians can be naturally chubby.
So diet. I work out early in morning 0500. Eat four egg whites boiled at 0700. Go to work and have a big protein shake Whey. It has 22g of protein per scoop and I use four in one shake at 1000-1100. Lunch has been a ham cheese sandwich lately with water. Another Whey shake at 1500. Dinner is either a chicken breast with white rice or some other like wise dinner. I eat veggies and fruit about one or twice a day. Not a lot.
I drink about 64 ounces during the work day between the shakes and meals. During weekend, i normally don't stay with diet. I eat normal meals with high protein and no junky carbs. Admit, I usually will have a hotdog or two on one of the nights instead. But during work week, I normally do stick to diet.
I can do up to 30-45 minutes of cardio on treadmill. I usually try to keep heart rate at about 161 or lower for the first 15 minutes. Then a run for the remaining times.
I need to learn how to lose the fat around my stomach and gain muscle mass more efficiently so that I can keep it. Because I am in military, I will need to pass a run qualification every six months so mass is not my only goal.
I have about three or four months before deployment to Iraq. I want to get up to as good of shape as i can before then.
Thanks guys and gals.... I can use the advice.
