Hi guys, first - great forum, I'm glad I found it.
I'm a Male, 27yrs, 6' and currently 185lbs.
As of the first week of January I was 210lbs.
I was forced to take some time off last year from a lot of activities to rehab some knee problems and some abdominal issues that prevented a lot of my usual workouts. But after getting the go ahead to start back in I've been on this schedule;
3 Full Body Lift Sessions per week, 20 minutes of cardio warmup/ and a 20 minute cooldown of proper stretches.
2 Full Cardio Sessions on off lift days; Usually 60 minutes of interval running.
Though, I change this up as well, alternating Indoor Rowing and Cycling.
I changed my diet completely at the start of the year and cut out all alcohol consumption. My diet day is usually;
6am: Coffee Black, One Egg & tomato wrap.
10am: Fruits; pineapple, apple, strawberry...etc (whatever I choose)
2pm: Salad & Chicken or Soup, or chicken Wrap.
6pm: Chicken, Feta, mixed greens.
8-9pm: I'll usually have a yogurt.
I drink a ton of water, at least 1L a day, though I should do more.
I'm actually amazingly consistent in this diet; with the odd (once every two weeks) cheat if my girl wants to meet people for dinner/movie.
Now -- This routine since the beginning of January has dropped me from 210 to 185, and I'm very pleased, I feel healthy and strong and I haven't starved myself in anyway.
What I'd like, though, is some help with the last 10 pounds. I'm just now seeing definition in my torso, and arms (legs have always been great) - but I've noticed a little plateau even with the intervals and changes in cardio sessions.
I'm playing for 3 ice hockey teams starting today - so this will be added to my routine on top of the rest. But what else should I be changing? I think if I can make it to 175 I'll be very content, but I always want to know I can maintain it. Is this routine good enough?
I am not looking to get bulky, just lean and healthy. Any suggestions would be wonderful; if you've read all this - thanks very much.
Cheers
