Day 1
Well, here it is. The day i start my lifestyle change for a better way of living. The moment i said to myself “why do i eat until i cant breathe” was the defining moment that made me want to do something about this. It’s one of the reasons why I wanted to start this blog, to force me somewhat to go and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT already. I dont like the way I feel after every meal, I dont like the way i look in some of the clothes that I wear, and so you’d think that those things alone should push me to do it……but no.

Im not sure why, but it takes alot of discipline from me to make it through the day without somewhat cheating at times, especially since I work from home. This week I started going to the gym every morning at 6am for an hour doing the treadmill for 30 minutes, followed with the bike for 15. Im also trying to eat smaller portions but many times a day, preferably 5 – 6 times a day.
It’s become a habit for me to drink 12-16 ounces of Mega Whey Protein Shake from gnc.com, as well as eating a boiled egg each morning, monday through friday right after my 6am cardio workout. But before my workout, I’ll take 2tsp of carnitine (1000mg) with a capsule of Green Tea Complex (500mg) on an empty stomach to help with the fat burning process. I heard that doing cardio first thing in the morning helps burn fat more efficiently.
These are my measurements when I’m just starting:
- Weight: 247 lbs.
- Waist: 38 – 40 (depends on the brand)
- Height: 6′ 1″
I figure I’ll give myself a good 3-4 months of constant eating and exercising right before I see the results I expect, but nevertheless i have to be strong and convince myself that I have to change my entire lifestyle and the way I live my life.
What I’m trying to follow for the next few months is to do cardio in the morning, monday throught friday. Then after that try to add some weight training 2 days a week (possibly monday & wednesdays) within the next week or two. I also have to eat healthier as I’ve mentioned above and hopefully i see the results I’ve been wanting. Stay tuned…
