Well as you all already knew. I was doing way to much. After a few days off the bike. I got on it this morning. Legs still a bit sore but I figured if I took it easy.... So with HR Monitor: Mins 0-5 @ 45 RPM end of 5 mins HR=145 Mins 5-10 @ 50 RPM end of 10 mins. HR=152 Mins 10-15 @ 50 RPM end...

Okay I had planned to take a few days off the bike. But I did buy a HRM today. So I will see where I am at as far as HR goes. To be honest though I didn't think I was going that hard. I had read one way to measure the intensity of your cardio workout was to try to talk. And you should be where...

I am needing your thoughts on my cardio work. I am starting to think my cardio is tearing muscle fibers and therefore I should either change it or make some sort of adjustment to it. For cardio I use a Schwinn Airdyne AD4. My secession's usually last from 40-50 mins depending on how I feel that...

I took my measurements today. My question is should I be concerned? I don't mind losing inches in the waist and stomach area but it also seams that my arm (flexed) is smaller also. Here are the before and now measurements.... Stomach (mm): 117.5 now 109 Arm (relaxed): 13.5" now 13" Arm...

Okay so it is Sunday. As of now I am 8 weeks into this loss fat thing. When I started I wanted it to be about body fat % goals. But I found out fairly quick that won't work. It is hard to do it as a body fat % when there seams to be no easy way to measure body fat accurately. So lets do weight...

Well it has been a few weeks since I have said anything. I had planned on doing at least 1 post every week. But to be honest there isn't much to say at this point. I got to 225 pounds and stopped. Three weeks ago on Sunday I weighed in at 225.4 pounds. Today I weighed in at 225.4 pounds. Not...

So with all this research I have been doing about my weight loss goals. I ran across this guy Mike Matthews. Mainly from my purchase of a cookbook "The Shredded Chef". I must say everything I have cooked from this book so far has been amazing to eat. My personal favorite was the Pear-Cranberry...

Well my 3rd week has come and gone. Not much has changed this week as far as my routine. But I did get my hands on a 2004 Schwinn Airdyne AD4. So I can now do my cardio work at home. I also went to Corpus 2 times to take care of some pre Endocrinologist work. Had to collect urine for 24 hours...

Yes he was going to start testosterone shots. But I requested a referral to a Endocrinologist. So he didn't out of fear of messing up their testing. I don't think it is just test that is low I feel there are other hormones also. I have read that brain trauma really messes this stuff up. And I...

Well another Sunday update. According to my scale I am now at 234. So -2 pounds this last week. It could have been better but I fell flat on my face Saturday. My wife's brother in law had a get together. And even though he tried to help by cooking beef tenderloin, and broccoli and carrots for...

So I went to go get my Testosterone tested. And had the consult with that about 30 mins ago. It has been confirmed that I do have low T. The doctor (instead of just giving me a script.) wants to do the injections at his office about once every 2 weeks. So I am assuming he is interested in...

Well weighed myself on Sunday. A bit disappointed but I do feel better and have more energy than I am use to. 240 to 236 for a 4 lbs. drop but, my scale says I am still at 33.6% BF. So not to sure where the 4 pound drop came from. I also think I am going to try and find a used Swinn Airdyne...

So fairly strait forward question. That I am sure won't be a strait forward answer... If we know what the body needs and we can hit our macros easier, and supplement the vitamins and minerals our body needs. Why can't every meal just be a shake/smoothie? This seams to be much easier all around...

Well day 3 and 4. Not much going on. I am doing fairly good I think. I wake at 5am and go for a walk. Because I missed 2 due to weather and with all the rain here in South Texas. The mesquites are really really bad. I got a membership at a local 24hr gym. So my walks are on treadmill now. I do...

Okay sorry got busy with work stuff. So Day 1 (Monday) and Day 2 (Tuesday/Today) Didn't cheat anywhere on diet for day 1, did a morning walk just 2 miles though. Went to gym at 5 and worked out for an hour with trainer. It was more exploratory than anything. Trying to figure out what weight to...

Day -1 (Sunday) I got up at 5am. I made my morning smoothie before my walk this time. I extended my walk to be 2.5 miles. I also got into a jog pace a few times finished in 42 mins. Lunch: grilled chicken salad with sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and some kale. (Used Ranch Dressing... they...

Well that being the case I am gonna need some serious help on the diet front then. There is only so much plain chicken, pork loin, and turkey a man can eat. Anyone have a good cook book suggestion for me? I am clearly going to have to learn how to cook meals. It is obvious no restaurants or any...

So now that I have eaten lunch (a nice big salad) Oh and Hidden Valley now makes a ranch dressing spice packet you use Greek Yogurt with. It was good! Here is what I have left 1,150 calories, 147g carbs., 73g protien, 30g of fat. 35/45/20 split. I looked at a few places and this is what I come...

ibleedoranbla, Keep in mind the 47/29/24 is what is left from my 43/32/25 after my smoothies are added in. As far as how I got the 43/32/25 goes. Just research I figured out my protein and then my fat what was left was the carbs. But I have been told on this forum that I should be looking at...

Okay I might have answered my own question. It's dam near impossible. But some insight: After my shakes my percentages left are 47%, 29%. 24%. So just find meals with those numbers or close to it and eat till you hit calorie total? In time you will get it down as far as meals go......
