When this year started, I was a workout fiend! For four days a week I would go to school (8-10), then straight to the gym (10:30-12:30), then right to work (1-9) and
my job is a physical one.

I went from 255lbs to 225lbs in a span of 5 months (Jan to May) without really changing my eaiting habits or going on those meal replacement diets. But the I moved to O-Town, and things got a little shaky.

But, I've got a new plan now and hopefully it'll work. Starting this month, I began walking to the gym since its only a mile away, and working out four days a week (Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sun) and I'm going to try changing my eating habits (not that their bad, but they sure ain't good).

December is a weird month to start though since Chrismas is coming up, which make for another holiday dinner....

 

man i do miss the time i had in college. I worked out a lot! I was highly active about 80% of the day. I was down to 7.1% body fat! Im shocked you couldn't get the 6 pack Boxter I had much more than that at 7.1

Hey, what's that saying? 80% diet/20% workout? Could never remember

 

hey, i'm saving up for my turbo build! i gotta cut costs somewhere!

 

$1 cheesburgers at Mc D's lol

 

With as much as I drink, none of this really matters...

 

Just recently I went to CHILIS the restaurant. My girlfriend is lactose intolerant and I asked for a copy of their menu to find which foods contained milk or milk products. I was really surprised at which did and didn't.

They really didn't want me to have the nutritional facts of all their foods. Its pretty bad eating their

Any of you ever eat an AWESOME BLOSSOM - it s loaded with salt and fat
6360 milligrams of salt
203 grams of fat wow thats bad

I have the whole menu so if you have any questions about menu items please ask.

Dont be afraid to ask for the menu when u go out.

 

wow what menu is that? I hear Outback is worse!

 

I eat all the time but I'm a roadbiker. But here lately I've been running alot since I have a Lab puppy thats a few months old and I just try to tire him down so he doesnt tear my house up.

 

a lab puppy?!?!?
u HAVE to PM me some pics?!

 

that's a good way to get or keep in shape! My other has been bugging for a dog, you may have tipped the scale my friend :D

 

simple answer for me is "N.O."

 

N.O.? or NO?

 

CHILIS is my favorite restaurant.

the only thing i ever eat there are the ribs and fries. sometimes the adult meal. and sometimes the kid basket
how bad is that?

 

uh oh....*dun dun dun dun*....could you tell me the nutritional facts of the cajun chicken pasta? I always eat that when I go. It doesn't seem like it could be THAT bad.

Also...I've been working out extensively almost everyday. Everyday 30-60 minutes on the inclined treadmill. (I'm trying to get rid of my stomach fat) Every other day I switch up lifting upper and lower body...if my muscles still feel sore, I'll skip lifting weights untill it feels like all the acids are flushed.

Also, is it bad to work out at night then going to bed almost immediately after?

 

I hope this helps with your questions. Sodium level is way scary.

Working out at night is not a huge problem. But as soon as your done lifting you need to replenish your muscles with proper fuel. I like to use a sports drink called ENDUROX R4. great for pre and post workouts. Be careful what you consume before you go to bed. You don't want food to have a stuffed belly when going to bed.

 

how many hours before u eat b4 u sleep?
wow, i dont think i said that rite but im sure u understand

 

why on earth would I do that ? ha ha . what is this health that you speak of?

 

I don't remember the time frame for eating to bedtime, but your body digests the fastest when you wake up and steadily slows down as the waking hours progress. If you eat before you go to bed, you basically get a big lump in your belly that barely digests properly. Best time for vitamins and such is in the morning as you can fully absorb them quickly and efficiently.
