Ok, I'm trying to lose weight in order to run the London Marathon in April next year.
I didn't realise until a couple of weeks ago exactly how much weight I had gained, I'm now a very embarrassing 170lbs.
I have joined the gym again, my diet has always been good, but last year I was training 7 days a week, then went to zero, so the weight was bound to go up. Due to the fact I work full time, have college at weekends, and have a teenage son, I am limited to going to the gym a max. of 4 times a week.
I've been using fitday.com to keep an eye on what I'm doing as well.
Diet:
Breakfast - 1 egg + 2 egg whites
Snack - almonds
Lunch - tuna & veg.
Snack - almonds
Dinner - chicken & veg (if I go to the gym I add brown rice).
If I go the gym I have a protein shake before and after.
At night if I'm hungry I have 2 egg whites. (This I do about 3 times a week).
If anyone has any advice about what my diet I would appreciate it.
Exercise - Cardio 4 times a week, weights 3 times a week.
I realise that some cardio should be done in the morning, but all I can do is walk at the moment, as I'm too heavy to run.
I put this up thanks to Ilk as she suggested that by logging my progress I may get extra encouragement - so thanks you!
