BullTX’s BodyBlog

A regular towel fit around my waist and i did not have to hold it.  Sometimes it is the small victories that keep me going the best.  I cant remember when the last time i was able to wrap a towel around my waist and it stayed on.  What am going to do with the extra hand now…  

Sick of it… The belly that is.  I have now made it my goal in life to get rid of this belly of mine.  Since i got regular about working out all i have done is gain weight.  For some of you that would be good but i started at 303 lbs.  I am now 315 and although i have lost 3% bodyfat in the past 3 months i am not as happy with my progress as I would like to be.

So here is the new plan that i implimented during last nights work out.  No rest between sets!  I do 15 minutes on the eliptical hill program then go to my weight lifting and between sets i either do 1/2 a mile on the stationary bike or jump rope between sets.  After that i go to the abs and boy do i have the most abs.  I think i got enough for 3 more people.  anybody want some???  Then i go to a stationary bike and go for another 10 min. I hope this will do something better.  I also think i need to drop down to a 2000 calorie diet but the Bodybugg program tells me that i need 3200 for the work that i am doing.  If anyone could help in this dept. that would be great. 

I eat mostly clean 6 days a week and on the seventh i dont go nuts but i might have some pizza or a hamburger.  There has to be a reason i am not shedding the fat as fast as i would like to and i am bound and determined to find out.  I know part of it is genetics my father was 6′7" and 400 lbs and my mother is 5′10" and larger as well.  Me i am in between that at 6′3" and 315.  I am definately a large framed guy there is no doubt.  There is a way to do it because when i was in the Army they took me from 274 to 198 in 13 weeks.  However i dont have all day to run march and exercise like that and quite frankly when i go that small you would have thought i was in some foreign prison camp.  I like to be big but not fat and big.

I welcome any siggestions and would appreciate your time if given.  I am willing to try most any thing but there is still some ego things i cant get over yet.  Like the unstable exercises that all of the trainers have people doing in the gym and that my trainer wanted me to do.  I know it works but there has to be other ways of doing it.
