So I started a diet exercise routine today with my wife. We are training for a 5k and figured why not diet along with it and drop a few pounds. I am weighing in around 186 [the scale we have is a little light so i have to add like 2.5 pounds or so to 183] None the less right now I am as heavy as I have ever been in my life. Granted a lot of it is muscle but a great deal is fat as well...more than I like to admit of course. Everything I read says I should be down around 155 to 160 but I dont like how I look at that weight. I much prefer 175. But if I get to 175 with no problems I will probably get down to my "Healthy Weight" and start lifting again to round it all off.
As for the diet and exercise...its going good as they always do at the start right? heh. But we only bought good for us foods and I actually found out that I am about starving myself NOT on the diet so I am actually eating more and gettting correct calories and making sure I get my calories not from fat etc. Using a great site called FitDay.com and combining that with DietFacts.com They work pretty seamlessly and DietFacts.com is a really comprehensive database of food fact/nutritional information.
So I am weighing in at 186lbs and started the running regimen today. 20 mins of walking jogging intervals. Baby steps...gotta walk before you run.
