My long journey to a better place

That seems like an awful lot of protein for your needs. Depending on how hard your hitting the weights. Even though your body will use it for energy in a carb deficit. You should be able to cut back and save some calories. And bump up your cardio (I know easier said than done) but 40 min only burns maybe 300 calories or so.

Just over a week and a bit now. weighed my self on monday lost a Kg Witch im reallly happy about

all my wights have gone up so i know im getting stronger.

Excited to see what the two week mark will bring.

As of Monday my body fat went from 23.9% to 23.2% i think thats a good start.

The way im messureing my body fat prob isent the best only doing the messure my waist, neck and hight with my weight gives me a total for now as long as the number keep going down im happy.

If i dont lose much more in the next week or so, ill cut my Protein in half to save me some Cals and hopefully that should help.

Congrats on changing your lifestyle. As you already stated "I feel like a new man", get used to that feeling. As far as weight loss if I were you, I would not get too wrapped up about the actual number on the scale. I say this because you are new to weightlifting. You are gonna gain muscle even though you are trying to lose fat. Example: You may gain 1lb muscle and loss 1.5lbs of fat in one week. THe scale says you only lost .5 lbs from all that cardio, lifting, dieting you've been doing. But what you are really doing is changing your body composition dramatically and the scale wont tell you that.

Just stay consistent with working out and eating healthy. Stick with natural unprocessed foods. Throw in a yam or oatmeal in your diet. Watch the sugars in the Powerade/Gatorade.

Thanks for that man, yeah i'm not to worried about what that scales are telling me. i can see the changes in my body already :P

Yup i'm very consistent with my diet i feel guilty if i'm not and i love going to the gym makes me feel high lol that old saying Arnie said about feeling like your cumming at the gym is so true :P

The food i'm eating is giving me so much energy, it think as of Monday i will start training twice a day, cardio on my lunch break then after work do 20 min cardio warm up then hit my weights, also this will help me getting home a bit earlier :P i want to hit my goal no matter what i'm so in the zone its not funny lol
