Long, but its my first post.
I really need some guidance on my meal plan and workout schedule. I'm about 5'11" and weigh 195. When I was younger I got a really bad viral infection and I was on steriods that ballooned me to ~260. For years i was in the 200+ range. About 2 years ago I got pissed enough and started a routine. I lost alot in a short period of time. However, after graduating it wasn't easy finding work in the IT industry, so I was stressed, and stopped working out as much. Even when I started to work, I was too disgusted from my job to even get the energy. So, for about 6 months I was off/on and didn't get the fit midsectin I want. Now that I'm back in the game, I really need some guidance.
Im doing a mix of cardio/weight training. I have really good muscle tone in the arms, legs, chest, but have love handles and some junk left in my stomach. I actually do "well" meeting women. I'm a good looking guy, well put together, but always feel too uptight with my body do even do anything. I'm pissed that I constantly act cold after meeting cute girls so I don't have to end up taking my shirt off. Yes its lame, but I'm really closed and uptight when it comes to that and I need to change things for the better. So, given my workout and nutrition plan listed below, am I doing enought to get me the results I want?
1. Workout: Typical workout (5 days a week) includes about 30 minutes of free-weight training. Then, I ride a stationary bike 20-30 minutes, burning about 300-400 calories.
2. Nutrition: Listed below is my typical day. I don't mind eating the same thing, but do I eat the right things? Do I need to drink protein shakes or add supplements to melt the weight in my sides/stomach?
------------
Breakfast:
Bowl of Special K with blueberries or strawberries
2 eggwhites
1 piece of whole wheat with Simply Gif PB
1 Glass Skilm Milk with cappuccino mix
Snack 1:
Fruit (orange or bannana) + Odwalla breakfast bar.
Lunch:
Low Fat Turkey breast on Whole wheat, tomoto or roasted peppers.
Low fat yourgurt.
Snack 2:
Large apple.
Dinner.
What ever mamas kitchen serves up.
Snack 3:
Old Fashioned Oatmeal or Cheerios with fruit.

I appreciate your comments and all of your help. Its funny how I open up to a discussion form more than I would my family, but in some way I feel closer to all of you. Haha.
