Weight Check: Midpoint

I am pleased to say that I am on course to reach my goal to lose 20 lbs. by March 9th.

[drumroll please]

So far, I have lost 13 lbs.

I started at 225 on January 1st, and I am a bit lighter.

Losing that weight was pretty actually pretty easy. I haven't had beef in over a month, I've only eaten out twice this month, added 45 - 60 minutes of cardio 4x a week, and cleaned my diet. It's not that hard, really.

A typical day of meals:

• 7:30am (breakfast) - 3 eggs (2 whites and 1 whole egg), toast w/ jam, orange juice
• 10:30am (snack 1)- fruit and granola bar
• 1:00pm (lunch) - sandwich, chips or soup
• 4:30pm (snack 2) - nuts or wheat thins, and fruit
• 8ish (dinner) - meat, brown rice and vegetables or pasta or salad

I try to eat something at every 3 hours so I can speed up my metabolism and so that I don't get hungry. I will not have any "diet" foods. They don't taste good, and the usually have more sugar than normal food. Water, water, water ... water is the key. I drink at least a gallon and more when I play tennis.

I've been doing a lot of cardio this past month, but this month I will be adding weights to my program. I am looking to gain some lean muscle I lost since I have lifted in about 4 years. But it's going to be at least 3 months before I see any real results.

When I reach my good I will post some tasteful nude pics .... okay, I'm kidding. No one needs to see that.
