I know tat's are a personal thing, but would you be willing to explain the meaning behind yours?

Good luck with your routine. I've been working pretty hard lately on fitness, too. After my last surgery I shot up to 195 or so. I'm down to 173 as of this morning. The weight loss part is simple... calories in vs calories out. I was doing about 1700 per day with only cardio for the first month or so. I was limited because I was not yet in the strength portion of physical therapy, so cardio was all I could really do. Now the shoulder work has progressed into a real lifting routine, and I've started riding bicycles for cardio. 3 days of lifting and 3 bikes rides from the lake to the top of the Foothills per week. I'm eating around 1900 calories daily now, and results seem to be coming along pretty nicely.
I think the real key is to not go overboard. Most people want to go balls out with a routine that is not sustainable. People start out insanely ambitious with loads of workouts, and diets so strict no one could stick to it long term. A moderate health plan that you can sustain for years will be much more beneficial than a few months of insanity followed by burnout. Check out http://forum.bodybuilding.com/ for some good information. A lot of myths were dispelled for me when I started really researching things on that forum. |

I agree on this as well. Being healthy is a lifestyle, not just a diet.
Do something you can live with.
