A little about myslef first:
I'm 18 years old.
I'm 5'9" and I weigh 214 lbs. I'm in college and have access to a gym. I live in a dormroom and have a microwave and a fridge (no kitchen).
I started watching what I eat and lost ~12 pounds between October and December. That was before I moved out to go to school and without working out at all.
Now that I've been out of the house I haven't gained any weight but I havent been losing weight either. I've been working out but I haven't been eating enough. I rarely get a chance to eat breakfast and when I do eat I eat 'on the go' and don't sit down and eat well-balanced meals.
For breakfast (~3 times a week) I have:
Bran flakes (sometimes with a tablespoon of raisins) with a half cup of 2% milk.
For lunch I have:
Roast beef on sliced wheat bread (w/tomatoes, lettuce)
Cup of milk
1 serving of fruit
For dinner I have:
Frozen dinner (~300 calories)
cup of milk
Snacks:
a serving of fruit
100 calorie pack
I do watch what I eat and I kinda know what I am doing. I count calories.
I go to the gym 4 days a week. I focus on cardio and just getting my heartrate up.
Monday:
1 hour of cardio on a treadmill
20 minutes on exercise bike.
Running 1/2 mile on track
100-200 crunches
Tuesday:
Step aerobics class for 55 minutes. Including ab workout at the end.
100-200 crunches when I get home from the gym before my shower.
Wednesday:
Cardio kickboxing group exercise class (55 minutes)
Thursday:
Yoga (55 minute class)
1/2 mile run
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a bit intimidating by lifting weights but I know I need to do it I just don't know where to start.
So how is my diet and exercise routine and what do I need to change? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Also, here are a couple recent pictures of me.
