199.5 down to 197.5… 3 weeks to go. Well… Not a lot to say this week.  The video pretty much sums it up: Do normal things and you get normal results.  Time to stop being normal!

Do diets always consist of boring and bland food?  NO! There is no way I could stick with a diet if I couldn’t still eat foods that taste good and eat a variety of foods.  Especially in the beginning, I have stuck to 45% protein, 35% carbs, and 20% fats in each meal.  My daily total of calories started at 2300 and has slowly dropped to around 1800-1900 calories per day. I do eat a lot of boring and bland foods, because they are quick and easy to make, but I usually have one “good” meal each day which takes a little more time and preparation.  Below, is a photo gallery of some...

I’m happy that I broke the 200lb. mark (220 down to 199.5) I’m perfectly on schedule 2/3 weeks done (8 of 12 weeks) & 2/3 weight lost (20 of 30lbs) I’m unhappy that I have not lost more. I wanted to be well under 200lbs at this point. Every pound is getting harder and harder. I’m frustrated that 2 days after weighing in, my weight can be up 3 or 4 pounds. I’m mad that I have to work the majority of the week to get back to where I was, and then bust ass to lose a little more. No more cheat days! No more days off from cardio! I’m going to sample some of Syntrax’s...

My weight fluctuates so much every day! Seriously, I can change 5 pounds, up or down, every day. It really drives me nuts during my diet! I know I’m not supposed weigh myself every day, but I do it anyway before getting in the shower. A lot of things play into this: salt/water intake, cheat meals, and ya know… going #2. 2 Quick Points: Start you diet after your temptation days! I started my diet on a Friday(just because Jan 1st fell on a Monday). Never again! After I weigh in on a Friday morning and see that I have lost weight, I subconsciously think that I can cheat over the...

Thankfully, I lost some weight this week!  2lbs!  I’m very happy with this!  Coming off a week where I didn’t lose anything, I stepped up my diet a little and kept a better eye on it. 203 to 201- Started at 220. I was really worried about this week, since I went back home to my parents house Friday to Monday.  I saw a lot of old friends, and most of those meetings revolved around food and alcohol.  I didn’t drink much at all, but I can’t say the same about eat.  It seems we always go to my favorite places when back home.  The type of food and especially potions are...

I’m disappointed in myself.  I didn’t lose any weight this week- stuck at 203.  My goal was to hit 200lbs this week. I think I have lost some dedication to the diet.  I’m a firm believer that eating healthy and exercising should be a lifestyle change and not just a “diet” determined by a time period.  Recently, I have stopped counting every calorie and eating my meals at a certain time.  Maybe I was premature to think I could handle my new lifestyle without writing everything down and counting every calorie. I wouldn’t say I have lost motivation, but I have...

Since I am moving towards video blogs instead of text articles, I am trying to build my YouTube followers. I have a lot of gluten free sample products laying around.  I am going to give them away to one of my YouTube Subscribers on March 15th, 2010. Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel and leave a comment on this video.  I will randomly pick one subscriber to receive the gluten free “goodie-box” on March 15th. Thank you!
