HELP!!!!!
That cry for help, while hyperbolic, was nonetheless real. Those of you who have been perusing my blog know that I’ve been stuck (literally STUCK) at 195 pounds for close to six months. No amount of cardio/diet/supplement mix seems able to kick start my metabolism into losing this last stubborn five pounds. I’m doing an hour of cardio nearly every day, am watching what I eat (to the point where my friends are casting suspicious sidelong glances at me), and am getting the proper amount of rest.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???? (Excuse me while I wipe these tears from my eyes.)
Seriously - if there is anyone in the community who can offer me some pointers, you will earn my eternal gratitude and lasting friendship. I’d call Coach, but since the Athletic Center closed down, she’s been hors de combat. The other trainers at my new gym have no insights to offer me, except for offers to take me on as their client for prices that seem a trifle steep for what I’m looking to do.
Here’s the bottom line. I want to get down to 190 pounds of lean muscle, with approximately 9 - 10 percent bodyfat. I eat pretty much the same thing every day - 80 grams of oatmeal with raisins and honey; two poached eggs and toast; black cofee; protein shake; piece of fruit; spinach salad with 6 ounces of grilled chicken; Power Bar; piece of fruit; two servings of vegetables; lean meat or fish; Isopure Protein drink. If I vary (which I very rarely do), I substitute brown rice for the oatmeal in the morning. Aside from that, I’m a machine.
Thoughts and comments are not only welcomed, but encouraged.
