Good job. If you add the exercise in, you'll see greater losses in the long run.

I used 96/4 lean ground beef and there was very, very little fat. It'll probably be good with ground turkey too.

I'm going to have to hit the gym every day this week.

20lbs?!?
Happy eating!

Weigh-in is tomorrow. I feel that I ate a lot over the weekend, but probably not as bad as I think I did. Nonetheless I'm gonna cheat and take a system cleansing pill for the weigh-in tomorrow. I weighed in this morning and am still at 247. I was at 245 twice this week, but the official weigh-in is always on Mondays for me. I've not done any exercise this week whatsoever, except walk one mile on Tuesday. Gonna pull one hour of exercise tonight before bed. Hopefully I'll be down at least one pound for the week.

Starscream · 02-08-2009, 07:34 PM

Alright, I'm checking in w/ my final workout for Week 5. Completed 30min of high intensity (

version of kickboxing) and then walked two miles for the second 30min. I'm done with my homework for my online courses, I've gotten my exercise in for the day, now to go over some lesson plans for tomorrow and hope to see at least a pound loss in the morning. (and hoping the system cleaner works before the weigh-in).

Starscream · 02-09-2009, 02:18 PM

Week 5 end result: No change
No loss, no gain. Mad about today's weigh-in, but I saw it coming a mile away. I'm determined and focused for the upcoming week 6. Just did 30 minutes of cardio. Hope to get some walking in this evening too.
Breakfast was the usual cinamon sugar oatmeal.
Lunch was skipped today. As soon as school was over, I came home and did the 30min. Now am having a peanut butter protein shake.
Tonight's dinner is chicken of some sort.

Overall, week 5 was not great, but week 6 is looking damn good right about now.

Last week was a bust for me. I was out of town most of the week. I didn't gain any though!!! Back at the gym this morning.

No gain is always a winner (at least that's what everybody tells me. I don't feel like a winner today).

Well, I'm down to 214 which is a good drop. Though, I don't know if that's from muscle loss (since I now don't have a gym to work out at so it's all walking nowadays) or actual fat loss. But, it's a loss. Will have to see how it looks going ahead.

How long have you been w/o the gym? I don't think you can lose muscle as quick as you lose fat. Congrats on the loss.

Going on nearly three weeks. But yeah, imagine if I keep it up it'll sort itself out in a good way.

12stones · 02-09-2009, 06:30 PM

Been awhile since I checked in. Still at 205, didn't do so well on my diet this weekend. Didn't drink enough water, didn't stick to my eating schedule, and didn't workout. Didn't overeat or eat anything too bad for me, but still didn't stick to my routine.

Did workout tonight - 45min.

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs in a whole wheat tortilla
Lunch & Dinner - Chicken and salsa with low-fat refried beans

Instant, Perry. The cinammon sugar covers up the badness that is instant though.

Congrats on the loss!

Keep it up.

Smokin Gator · 02-10-2009, 05:59 AM

I had a great workout this morning. 45 minutes on the treadmill get me 3 miles! I really felt good.

Shaerza · 02-10-2009, 08:03 AM

For those of you that do not have easy access to a gym you might think about giving this a try on the off days. http://www.menshealth.com/cda/articl...0013281eac____

Its a GREAT core body workout and it throws in some other major muscles as well, and it only takes about 20 minutes to do one set (which is all I ever manage) It will probably be very difficult at first but as the soreness goes away it gets easier

I started with a 8lbs ball but had already been doing lifting etc, so I might suggest a 6lbs ball

Starscream · 02-11-2009, 06:28 AM

Week 6, Day 2
No exercise in yesterday. I'm sore from the previous day. Did get some yardwork in and playing w/ the kids though.
Spaghetti and french wheat bread for dinner.

Week 6, Day 2
Breakfast: Oatmeal
Lunch: nothing/sunflower seeds
Dinner: 12" of some sort from Subway and some baked chips
Hope to leave as soon as the bell rings at 3:00 and get in some exercise before dinner/church.

Still feeling positive about this week so far.
