i guess i am starting this to keep my motivation up and maybe to get some encouragement to keep eating well and working out, i guess to hold myself publically accountable. the working out is the easy part, keep the diet together is tough for me, i always want to cheat, but not with typical cheater foods. i'm not huge into the chocolates and desserts. i would much rather have another bowl of pasta than a sundae after dinner. my girlfriend tries to help, but my eating habits on weekends aren't as good as they are during the week, and i'm not as disciplined about 5-6 meals a day, which i know confuses my body. i might get my camera out and see if it still works and post some pictures.

diet
so far today:
breakfast: .5 cup granola, .5 cup fat-free cottage cheese, 1 cup fat free vanilla yogurt.

morning snack: 1 apple, 1 string cheese, i protein shake made with water.

lunch: peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat, 1 apple, .5 cup of fat free cottage cheese.

afternoon snack: 1 string cheese.

i'm still at work, driving my desk so i'll post dinner later.

after work: HIIT session, 5 min warmup, 10 30 second sprints with 60 seconds jogging between. 5 min cool down. abs. stretching before and after. with a protein shake after i shower.

I hope this keeps me on the wagon, i don't want to fall off. i hate being the fat kid.
 
so for dinner last night, i had a chicken breast, about a half a cup of brown rice, corn on the cob without butter, and a small tossed salad w/ romaine, carrots, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and about a tablespoon and a half of ranch dressing.

i ate about a half a cup of fat free cottage cheese about a half hour before i planned to go to bed, but then discovered that the cat had peed in my bed yesterday. of course i didn't discover that until i laydown in it! yuck! so it was more like an hour or so before i actually turned the light out. my neighbors must have thought i was going to kill the cat.

today my diet will be:
breakfast:
.5 cup of granola
1 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
.5 cup fat free cottage cheese

snack: 8 ounce protein shake (20 grams protein)
1 apple
1 string cheese (i know they aren't great for protein/fat ratio, but i am trying to get rid of them.

lunch:
peanut butter and jelly
1 apple
.5 cup cottage cheese

afternoon snack:
1 string cheese
need to figure out something simple to add to this, maybe some berries or something.

workout: the sculpt session from power 90 (about 40 minutes or so of resistance training w/ resistance bands)

after workout: protein shake

dinner: to be determined

before bed: .5 cup cottage cheese.
 
i know people haven't really been reading this but i need to write this to help keep my spirits up. i've been working out most days a week after work, trying to eat right, but have seen absolutely no results (since very early july), which is totally demoralizing and i wonder why i am trying anymore... i started at 235, and now i am hovering anwhere between 230 and 240, depending on how much water my body is holding in.
my diet through the week, is usually better and more consistant than on the weekends, here it is:
breakfast: 6-8 oz vanilla yogurt
.5 cup of fat free cottage cheese
.25 cup of granola

morning snack. protein shake
apple
handfull of peanuts in the shell

lunch: peanut butter and jelly sandwich (its easy to store and inexpensive)
probably about a cup of green seedless grapes
.5 cup of fat free cottage cheese

afternoon snack: peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread
apple

post workout: whey protein shake


dinner: lately i've been making caesar salads (homemade dressing: egg, olive oil, garlic lemon juice and pepper) and either a chicken breast or piece of steak. the salads i make are big, considering thats my dinner.
that comes out to anywhere between 2300 and 2600 calories a day.


for workouts i have been doing various programs on my elliptical, roughly lasting about a half hour each. i do pushups and crunchs before hand. i know i should be doing weights too, but i don't want to pay for a gym and i don't have any weights at home.


please someone, either tell me what i could be doing wrong or just tell me to keep going, results will come... i just need some encouragement...
