Where you go?

**CutMeMick** · 06-17-2008 07:30 PM

So I started working out and just to show you guys how much weight I gained from the 1st post I made in this thread up until 2 weeks ago.
I was weighing 200 lbs...

I could not believe that. I sware I checked the scale to make sure it was right and I almost passed out.

It's crazy how I didn't pay much attention and I didn't think I was gaining that much weight...

Well now since I got my everlast gym here's my daily routine.

Breakfast - Banana & Strawberry shake with proteins.
Stretch out and run for 2 miles.
(leave to work)

For lunch I alternate with Tuna, Chicken & Steak for the most part served with Wild rice (thanks greg) vegetables and fruit.
(go home)

Stretch out and work out for 1 hr. to 2 hrs. as time permits.
I run another 2 miles
Skip rope for 15 min.
Push ups x20 (2 sets)
Sit ups x20 (2 sets) I also do the one handed side ones x20
Heavybag workout non-stop for 10 min.
Double end bag workout non-stop for 10 min.
(I try to do these 2 back to back without resting but have only done it once)

When I have time I also lift weights nothing to heavy mostly light lifting.
I first want to concentrate on the weight loss then I'll work full effect on the muscles.
(Unless I should work both things out at the same time, advice anyone?)

Just looking at it now actually. If cutting weight is your goal, then I think you have the right idea focusing on the running as opposed to the weights. That is a fair bit of running to start, plus the skipping. See how you feel with it, but if you stick to that and the healthy eating the pounds will shed.

Then you can work on building muscle on a leaner frame. I think it looks good. Might be a bit much to start? Dunno...your body will tell you.

Thanks for the comment...

I've had the same routine for the last 2 weeks (not exactly the same but very similar) my bodys responded well. I don't feel anything abnormal as far as tired/sore body it's been normal. I also play soccer on Sundays 90 minutes so when I get home I do my floor excersizes push ups, sit ups etc. etc. and I call it a day. I've rested in between there in the 2 weeks depending on how I've felt.

I've already lost 12 lbs. I weigh myself in the morning when I wake up as of yesterday I weigh 188 lbs.

I've also cut out ALL the bad foods.

I come from a Mexican family so you gotta understand the more lard/oil in our food the better.

As god as my witness I've gone ALL out since the arrival of the gym. I cleaned out my food cabinets & fridge. Everything I have now is either Light, Low Fat or something along thos lines.

I no longer eat Tortillas (corn or flour)
I haven't had not even a slice or bite of pizza.
I haven't had anything like microwavable burritos, sawndwiches, pot pies all that garbage.
No more soda, all I drink lot's of OJ & Apple juice & water. Lot's of White & Green teas both cold & hot.
Lipton has this Diet teas that are really good.
I eat fruit everyday at least 2 different kinds.
Greens daily, whether in a salad or steamed.
For breakfast I use egg subsitute, my fav. breakfast to make is a veggetarian omelette with spinach, onion & tomatoes.
I also switched my corn flakes to Special K, it's the best one I found.
Anyone else use this?

Update:

Weight: 182 lbs.

Well I've been running now 6 miles almost daily. 2 in the morning when I wake up and 4 when I come home from work.

Haven't even touched a slice of pizza, a bite of hamburger or anything like that. Let me tell that living 1 block away from In N Out and not being able to eat it fucken sucks.

No sugar, no white bread LOT'S of water.

I've maintained pretty much the same routine. Lots of cardio and lots of pull ups, sit ups and crunches.
