Tim's Journal

[timt]

This is my first journal on my path to a healthier me. For the next couple of months there will be no Mexican Food, no pizza and worst of all no beer. Last summer I wieghed 310 lbs and am now at approx. 245 @ 5' 10". For my first goal I want to lose 35 lbs. And have many lifting goals for the end of the summer I basically want to up all lifting wieghts by 50 to 100 lbs.

Please feel free to make any suggestions or ask why the hell I am doing something.

[rockcrest]

tim, i'd try to get some more protein in your diet. what is your daily calorie intake? it looks like you are starving yourself.

 

[timt]

After posting I had shrimp yesterday also. fried
I'd say 1500 calories now that I look at it. Damn it seems Like I am eating a lot. I'll try to bump up to 2000.

i still think you could add more protein and even some carbs. good carbs though...like oatmeal, brown rice, or sweet potato. the diet looks better though/
one other thing. you went 6.5 hours before eating your last meal. you could have ate one at 6 & one at 9, then done. dont know what your schedule is like though. good luck

 

[timt]

Yea, that's 6 and a half hours at my second job. I try my best not to think about eating while I am there cause it could be disasterous(sp?). That job is Pizza Hut. I do pick up a peice of pepperoni, cheese or a milk here and there though, not enough to log on to the diet though.
Also I am eating as low carb as possible because I have 50 lbs of ugly fat to lose(and I don't want to chop off my head to do it). So I will have oats in the morning once and a while but I really need to load down on protein. I will keep a shake in my truck at work also. then if I do get hungry then no pizza will be ate.
Thanks for pointing the LOW CAL problem Rock. When I ran to 2.5 miles last night I had more energy. Now what do I do to get rid of this kansas wind and humidity?

 

[rockcrest]

also, try doing your cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. i've heard that you burn more fat that way. i believe its because you body turns to fat stores for energy.

 

[timt]

I heard that also and did a little this morning. I'm trying to get used to it but mornings are hard to get into the groove. I'll get there though.
