Hey Guys.
Its been a long time since I last posted here. I just read over my old posts and some things have gotten better and some worse.
This past year I topped out at 280lb in the middle of the year. I am now 250lb but now I am actually doing something about it.
I have started working out everyday. I am trying to ease my way in so I don't try to d to much and get hurt or feel overwhelmed. I have been doing 20mins at a decent pace on an elliptical, then some work on home gym. I found something on the net a long time ago 0000 have been following it. Please excuse me if I butcher what these are called. so its been 5 sets 15reps @ 25lb, 12 reps @ 40lb, 10 reps @ 55lb, 8 reps @ 70lb and 6 reps @ 85lb. Pushing the weight out, then butterfly, then as many as I can do until I can't do anymore pushing it out @ 25lb. Then pulling it down with my forearms facing in then the same again facing out. I used some averages I found on the net, elliptical worked out to about 360 cal burn and 120 cal burn for the weights.
I know you guys are huge macro fans and I worked it all out as best I could.
Breakfast: Macros, Pro 19.3g, Fat 17g, Carb 58.4g, Cal 441.
1 Cup - Oat Meal
2 TBSP - Flax Seed
1 Large - Egg
Lunch: Macros, Pro 10.9g, Fat 5.6g, Carb 41.6g, Cal 265
1 Cup - White Long Grain Enriched Rice (with flavoring)
1 Large - Egg
Dinner: Macros, Pro 59.1g, Fat 6.6g, Carb 59.7g, Cal 539
8oz - Chicken Brest (no skin) (with flavoring)
8oz - Broccoli
1 Cup - White Long Grain Enriched Rice (with flavoring)
Totals for the day: Macros, Pro 89.3g, Fat 29.2g, Carb 159.7g, Cal 1,245
I also drink water flavored by crystal light all day. That's all I have been eating.
So 480 cal burn and eating 1,245 a day.
I know this is not good. I wanted to add some almonds to the breakfast but they cost a ton.
I would like to lose weight, most of mine is in my belly area. I am not really big and fat in my arms or legs.
But I need to add something good to what I already eat without it costing too much. I have been playing with some ab workouts on and off but nothing that I can say I do very often. I am still looking into it. So any help with the diet or what more I can do with what I have exercise wise.
Thanks for any help guys.
