It has been five weeks and I have lost 15 pounds. Clean eating and cardio and I am taking ARSON(6 a day) as my fat burner and drinking whey protein complex, taking a multivitamin(one a day for men) and magnesium 500 x2 at night before bed.

I was doing great and then money ran out. No membership at the gym and bad food is cheaper than eating clean. Supplements ran out, too. I feel so bad and unhealthy. I do plan on running in the morning about 5:30. I hope I can do it. I can’t lift, but I will try to do home cardio. I have to get my motivation back. Any one see 1/2 ton mom and 1/2 ton dad? I feel like that. I don’t know anything anymore. How do you eat clean on a budget? How do you eat clean when you are the only one in the house eating clean. It is like two different grocery lists. I got down to 269.5 now I am back up to 274 lbs. I feel like I need a drill instructer in my ear screaming at me to get it done. God it was so much easier back then. You had to do it or else… hell… ther was no "or else"…. you had to do it. The Marines fed you 3 times a day with cardio Mon., Wed., Fri. You did your daily 7 and then ran like hell anywhere from 3 miles to 6 miles and more at times.  I will try again… so far I am dissappointed at me and in me.

Well I felt like shit after I cheated all weekend. It made me mad as hell and that is all I could think about while I was at the gym these past couple of days. I am pushing my cardio farther and seem more determined. Although I feel like I am sinning every time I put a piece of food in my mouth. Anyway, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

I worked so hard to get under 270 lbs, and I finally did. I weighed in at 269.5 lbs. Then… It happened. I got so freaking hungry I just ate and ate and ate. All day Saturday and today Sunday. I feel like sh**. I f*^&ked up and I just feel ashamed. I don’t know… I know what I need to do, but dang… always being hungry and the headaches from being hungry. I know I sound like a big b**ch. I guess I am. I cheated. I am sorry to myself and to all of you. I lost my will power.

How many people do cardio and for how long? Is it really that essential for weight loss or is weight lifting and clean eating enough?

I have been trying to get below 270 lbs for everrrrr! I woke up this morning and went to weigh in and there it was 269.5 lbs!!!! Ok, not far below…. but below considering I started from 295 lbs. Anyway, I was freaking estactic!!! I got to fight the hunger. As I said yesterday, I stay hungry all the time. I eat 6 times a day and take a fat burner and drink a gallon of water a day. I am not talking just hungry….STARVING!!!!

I eat the every 2.5 to 3 hours, but I stay hungry… not just hungry, but STARVING!!!! Does anyone else have this problem? I am about to give it up and go eat some food.

Well, I woke up late this morning and as it was…. I was late for my 1st meal. So, I hurried and ate breakfast and thought that I should just go ahead and push everything up and hour or so. I spent all day feeling really really bad. All my meals were just late. I had feelings of light headedness and really hungry all day. Since this is a non-workout day… I didn’t think that I should consume my Monster Milk. Therefor, that took two meals away from me. I hadn’t planned for that. I don’t workout on Wed., Sat., or Sun. How do I control my diet on those days? Should I start working out on Wed., too? Or is 4 days good enough? Again, I just felt like crap all day. Any advice? By the way… I weighed Monday @ 277 lbs and weighed this morning @ 272. I thought that I wanted to gain up to 285, but it seems that the regiment that I am on will make me lose weight first, then … well… I don’t know. I just want to be lean and big.

Ok… I think I have it. I was told that you need 1 gram of protein for every 1 pound of body weight. So I constructed a meal plan to reach that goal. I weigh 277 lbs so I need 277 grams of protein. So here it is…

Meal 1: 7 a.m.            1/2 cup grits (uncooked) + 4 lg egg whites

Snack: 9:30               1 can tuna + 1 Fruit  (apple : granny smith)

Meal 2: 12 noon          1 Turkey patty + 1/2 cup pinto beans + 1/2 cup corn

Snack: 2:30 p.m.        1 can tuna + 1/2 cup cut green beans

Meal 3: 5:00 p.m.        2 turkey patties + 1/2 cup pinto beans + 1/2 cup corn

Snack: 7:00 p.m.      Pre-workout      20 oz. Monster Milk + Flaxseed Oil (Gross taste)

Meal 4: 9:00 p.m.      Post workout     20 oz. Monster Milk + 1 can tuna

Protein= 286g; Fiber= 39g; Carbs= 199g; Calories= 2,340

I am a little worried about the calories. Well there is my first time creating a meal plan. If it is wrong. Let me know, because I have to get this nutrition down. My workout routine is great…. I think. Cardio is lacking (because it is so boring), I know…. I know…. I have to do it, too! Let me know what you think.
