Finally dragged myself to the gym tonight on my quest to get back the healthy, trim body I had last summer.
At the end, weighed myself and was about where I thought I'd be...190 lbs. For my build, that's way too high (6'0", medium build...some muscle, but not not enough to justify that weight.) I've been a complete slob the last couple months...no exercise and eating fast food for lunch all the time. (Note to self: When in a relationship, keep your workout routine!) Of course, most of my problems started last summer when I got sick for two months and stopped, but no excuses.
No problem. I lost 60lbs before, and I know what works for my body. My target weight is 165 to 170 lbs, and assuming I can lose 1 1/2 lbs a week, should be there by June. My real target is looking good of course, since the scale doesn't tell you everything. And though right now I still look in good shape and don't have a gut or anything like that, I can just feel the fat on me. Plus all the nice clothes I bought are getting tight and uncomfortable.
So, I'm going to do what worked before:
- 4x week 30+ min cardio and weights
- No fast food, snacks, junk food
If that's not enough, I'll just have to adjust my diet.
Once spring/summer rolls around, it'll be a lot easier since I do a lot of biking, rollerblading, and stay active outside. I'm getting excited about it already.
