Weight loss update.

[sharky]

I saw a post from Ben @ WTS on GFY a few weeks ago that pretty much sumed up what I was already doing. I am taking in no more than 1500 calories a day.

I am eating/drinking pretty much all day. I work out for an hour every morning and every other day I work out 30 minutes in the evening as well. Weekends included. Right now my workout is mostly cardio followed by light weights to keep my body pumped.

When I eat, I try to eat low sodium/sugar/carb foods only in moderation. usually Chicken and broccoli or chicken and plain salad. In between meals I have a protein smoothie in the morning and a blanace bar in the afternoon. I never eat after 8pm.

I cut out just about every drink other than water. I do have regular iced tea every now and then to change things up. However I no longer sweeten it, even with splenda or sweet and low. They still contain sugars. I am constantly drinking water, probably about 2 gallons a day if I measured.

I feel much better now, and I am noticing I am a little more alert during the day. I really do think I will reach my goals, and by August of next year I expect to drop 130lbs total!
