I will amaze you

i know i didn't lose 12 pounds of fat (i wish) but i drank gallons of water that week -- how does that factor into it all?

 

PISS. Pee it straight, stupid!

 

Carbohydrates are stored in muscle (glycogen)...about 400 grams for a normal sized person. Another 80-100 grams are stored in the liver. Before you burn fat, you burn the glycogen, more so if you workout (like you are). Each gram a glycogen has about 4 grams of water with it.

 

i'm down to 228.0

i'll post the pic later.

i didn't do much last week as far as cardio goes. i only ate "bad" twie -- monday i had mexican dinner (but it was chicken fajitas) and sunday i had three pieces of pizzza (but that was all i ate that day). i had a few beers and a few diet drinks. i didn't drink as much water as i would like. i really felt like i was losing my motivation this week -- like i just wanted to say, "screw it." but i kept treading water and ended up losing a pound and a half.

this week needs to be about getting my body moving. that's my next step.

 

i weighed in at 225.5 this week. i've got pictures, but the computer at home is unplugged due to painting.

all i've done is adjust my diet, really. i'm not drinking as much water and i'm drinking more diet pepsi.

i'm going to keep eating well and walk a couple of times each week for the next couple of weeks.

gina and i will start the working out stuff when ty starts school -- aug 20 -- so that we can get into a set routine. she moved around her work schedule, too.

my goal is still to be at 180 when november rolls around. that's 46 more pounds. i'm down 16 so far.

 

That's awesome Larry!

That's the key to a healthy lifestyle is building a healthy routine.

 

thanks.

it feels like it's very slow, but i haven't even kicked it into gear yet.

it's not like i'm trying everything, yet only losing a pound a week. i've barely even tried. the biggest thing i've done is cut out the fast food and soft drinks.

 

i don't usually weigh mid-week, but i was at 224.0 today. that's 17.5 pounds so far. 4.5 more and i'll be under 220. that's a good number to be under. i really feel like this is going to get kicked into high gear once we get back from teh beach after next week. ty will be starting school and we'll join the fitness club.

 

i start a diet tomorrow. it's a 3 day diet and i should lose 10 lbs. at least i did back in March.

Breakfast will be a slice of toast , 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1/2 grapefruit....

Lunch will consist of 1/2 cup of tuna , 1 slice of dry toast , coffee or tea no sugar.

Supper will be 1 cup of red beets , 1 cup of green beans, 4oz. of any meat , 1 small apple , and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream.

 

i took a week off. what you eat on vacation doesn't count, right?
