My lifestyle change
Hello iMore,
This has been a great year for myself. I have been totally revamping every aspect of my life to change for the better. I started to change my eating style and concept and started losing weight last November and it has been unreal. I have been following p90x (finishing month 2) on a perfect basis without any issues. Along with p90x I implement my own different sets of exercises to add on to what I feel is lacking. This has been such a focus that my wife and co-workers are starting to dislike me because I make them feel bad about their habits.... I really believe if you want to change... You have to look at it as a lifestyle change and nothing less. Being consistent is key to succeeding and to being a better you.
Here is my diet everyday that I follow so you can get a basic idea.
7:00am- Breakfast
My protein drink
One dollop of peanut butter (the organic good stuff)
2 bananas
1 scoop of chocolate protein (25 grams)
And 2 regular spoon sized servings of instant coffee....
Along with 1/2 cup of oatmeal drizzled with a little local honey.
10:00am- Snack
One scoop of protein
21 almonds
1 granny smith apple
12:00pm-Lunch
6-8 ounces of chicken or beef fajita meat
With 2 scrambled eggs mixed with egg whites to lessen cholesterol.
3:00pm-snack
One scoop of protein
21 almonds
1 granny smith apple
5:00-per workout snack
One scoop of protein
21 almonds
6-8 generally workout time with protein drink afterwards
I use two different types of protein
I use combat powder only after weight training. This is a complete mix of different protein and breaks down much slower than regular whey. On cardio days I use regular whey.
8:00pm-Dinner
6-8 ounces of chicken or beef fajita meat
With 2 scrambled eggs mixed with egg whites to lessen cholesterol.
One apple
So with this being done everyday I went from 223.3 to 174.8 in 4-5 months. People say they feel bad for me when they bite down on a burger... I love the way I eat and would not eat any other way... Abs are made in the kitchen...
So iMore... I really really REALLY need this new iPad.... I feel that my diet, attitude, and effort reflects with the goals of the fitness month. I would be extremely grateful if I was chosen.
I wish everyone good luck and please keep this a lifestyle change and not view it as a diet.
Sincerely,
Schrutefarms
