Becoming "The Situation"

Today was about 200 cals above maintenance...high cal dinner, and not the best options for snacks, you'll see in the log. Breakfast and lunch were top form though.

I could have easily cut out the popcorn, bagelthin, ice cream, cream cheese, and end up 500 below maintenance...I don't know why
I had those, I wasn't even hungry when I had those. :-(

I am dissapoint in this day.

[Xbrutalx233]

Your diet would be a lot better if you would just cut your snacking in half.. Try and eat more fiberous meals, this helps me a lot.

I know my snack totals are kind of high, but my meals are also small enough to be snacks in a way, especially today's lunch.
It was only 200 calories.

[Xbrutalx233]

I ate 4 larger meals today... sucked, I'd rather have 6 smaller.

I stayed pretty low cal these days to sorta balance out the high cal days I had over the last few days of spring break.

If you don't read the itemized food log, you wouldn't notice that I had no monster low carbs or sugar free NOS. I've been trying to kick the habit and to be honest, the past few days I didn't really need them. Actually I've never really needed them, I'm just used to how it tastes and I really like them, but it's an expensive habit as I've mentioned before, so I'm trying to stop.

[TVRYAN]

I actually lifted today. This past week I sort of had the mentality "all I need to lose weight is cardio/diet" and that's what I did this week. And the numbers actually went down a little faster than normal, I actually hit 326.something today which was exciting because on break almost a week ago I stayed at a consistent 330.

I don't know what inspired me to actually lift. Maybe the realization that if I just did diet and cardio and lost the weight fast it would just make me skinny fat in the end. I don't want to be skinny fat. I want to look awesome when I get to my goal weight of around 180-5. I know that sounds still high for my height, but I actually looked somewhat decent at that weight. I have a pretty wide frame so the weight distributes well.

Also what hit me is the question "is my goal really weight loss"? I think I should be more concerned with how I look than a number. I was around 210ish sophomore year, and when I get to a scanner I'll scan my sophomore year yearbook/face shot. My face was actually one of a "near" fittish person. The real goal for anyone should be fat loss, right?

Cliffs:
-I realized the goal is fat loss not weight loss
-I'll make sure to lift twice a week seeing as I have gym access from Mon-Thurs (I go home from school on fridays through weekend since I don't have classes).

[MJFan1]

Good, lifting is great for you. Good to see you updating again, you're getting a lot better with your snacks.

I think I'm done eating for the day as I just finished a pretty big dinner. I'm definitely pleased with how today went, my calories were good, and got the most protein I ever got in a day while keeping fat and carbs kinda low even though I'm not the most concerned about macro nutrients.

My parents and I went to happy hour today, they put out free food. I ate some chicken breast and rice before going so I wouldn't pig out on pizza and other stuff they put out. At the bar/cafe I only had two little grinder chunks, so I'm pretty proud of that.

In the end I had 4 meals and not too many snacks.

Good to see the protein being high.

[TVRYAN]

Too bad it'll be hard to keep up for weekend. Going to grampas tomorrow and he doesn't have an unlimted amount of chicken breast, or any for that matter. Most of the food he has is relatively not good.

Also I wish I could eat like that at school, especially for days I lift, but the only time I know I can get a good solid meal at school is at dinner, because they usually have a somewhat lean option at dinner for protein.

Yeah, weekends are really tough for eating.

I should be done eating today, but it's only 8, I may have a small snack later which I will be sure to edit in if I do... wasn't the best day for eating today. I ended up being 200 calories below maintenance which isn't ideal, but I suppose it's better than beyond maintenance.

Had a really cruddy breakfast, I was at the casino and I had a free breakfast card thing. And of course it's only good for mediocre stuff, used it at starbucks and it was good for a coffee and something from the case. I ended up picking out the oatmeal raisin cookie.

Overall today was definitely carb heavy. Had footlong subway for lunch and dinner was pasta and garlic bread. I totally over did it on the garlic bread, eating approximately 600 calories worth. If I only had one piece, it wouldn't have been a drastically bad day, though still carb heavy.

Atleast tomorrow's lunch is going to be awesome. I'm sharing the fajitas for two at this mexican restaurant Acapulco's with my grandpa, and I don't use tortillas anymore when I have fajitas. It'll be a good source of meat and veggies.

I turn 22 tomorrow. Should be a good day.

When do you plan on taking some more updated pictures?

[TVRYAN]

I plan on taking some soon...I was thinking of doing once a month, but then I decided maybe one every 20-25 lbs see if I can see progress better that way. I'm a couple pounds away from being 25 from all time highest. I'll maybe take some next weekend.

[TVRYAN]

On my birthday I didn't really track, I just kinda enjoyed myself and didn't obsess over what I ate. Back to tracking though.

Dinner is going to be so good.

The Eatery:
Turkey London Broil
White & Wild Rice Blend
Roasted Butternut Squash

I love it when school actually has lean protein for dinner. OMG Turkey London Broil and Roasted Beef Top round are the best dinners, high in protein and the fat content isn't too drastic.

Good luck man, I know you can transform yourself, but it will take all your effort every day for quite some time. No excuses, train hard, eat well and the results will come.

Need any advice from a former 300 pounder, come check out my blog, links in my signature. Your opinion/results posted on my blog is wanted as well. Good luck and hope you reach your next short term goal!

Later today is lifting. I just hope to get it in cause today is also advising for classes, so if I get to the gym and start working out by 12:30-1 I should be ok.

I would've had more of the turkey at dinner, but it was one of those guys that cut pieces off for you, and I didn't wanna be that fat guy standing in line demanding more. I dunno, I just get self concious very easy.

Lunch could've been up to 60 more cals or so, originally it was a sausage and peppers sandwich that the info was for, but I didn't use the roll. I looked up the NI for generic rolls and subtracted from the school provided NI.

Keep it up man... you'll be there eventually

Nice job eating during April so far.

[TVRYAN]

This month is so hectic with school work with projects and papers, I'm not logging as much as I can or working out as much as I like. So far my weight has been at a standstill and I stayed within the same 3ish pound range since mid March. I'll do my best to keep this updated.

There are times where I just wanna put it on a hiatus until the summer, when I have absolutely nothing else going on and I'll be able to eat perfectly and not worry about cruddy school options.

I may not log my food intake entirely for a while, I'll just keep a mindful eye on what I'm eating. I'll make sure to update once a week with a weigh in though at minimum.

With everything that's on my plate so to speak, I'm losing a little motivation on going to the gym, last week I only got there once

I haven't gone yet this week, but I'm gonna try and go today, even if it's just for cardio, though I would like to pump myself up and lift.

Damn man that sucks. Good luck with everything.

Despite what I said earlier, I was able to pump myself up and go to the gym and lift. I took a look in the motivation section and found this:



This one was particularly motivating. I believe it has a good message. In every fat person, there's a lean mean individual trying to break out.

I want my fit person to come out.
