I’m thinking I should get some pictures up.  For 160 pounds I don’t look half bad to be honest.  I’ve been lifting weights for a few months now, and just got this flibflab around my waist and bottom.  I see these fitness models at 115 pounds and wonder what I would look like if I lost 45 pounds, or if I’d still continue to exist.

What a screwed up day.  First, we ate out at work, so I was being good and had two chicken skewers, cabbage/carrot salad but had 3 small chocolate pieces afterwards.  Then I went to my other job at the gym, and it felt like everyone was on a mission to piss me off.  Plus my ass looked huge in all the reflecting mirrors.  Had a good workout today: chest + bi’s and some nice HIIT on the treadmill.  Here’s the breakdown of my food:

I used the calculator found here:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/girard2.htm to figure out my daily calorie needs.

In order to maintain my current weight, I need to consume 2000/day.

In order to lose 1 pound/week I need to consume 1500/day, so what follows will be a daily blog of what I’m eating.

My current weight is 160, and I’d like to be about 135, so that’s 25 pounds to lose.  According to this formula that should take about 7 months with one pound gone per week.
