Weight Loss

So I've enlisted in the United States NAVY. Before I went to MEPS(Medical Entry Processing Station) I worked out and lost some weight to MAKE IT IN to the military but once I enlisted I packed on a few pounds. May 4 I weighed myself at 220. I would like to share that I am now at a wonderful 205.5! Here's how I did it. (Oh. The reason blogged about this: I had recieved questions via facebook wondering what my secret was so I figured I'd post it here.)

"So basically all i did was watch my trans and saturated fats. Keeping those numbers as low as possible. Quit eating out (taco bell, mcdonalds and such) I also went for a higher protein count. Rice, beans, oatmeal are all good choices. When shopping for food (walmart) keep to the outer wall for food. Vegetables and lean meats. Also remember it's all about proportions. An easy way to watch that is to eat slower. Chew your food alot more than you think is necessary and you'll notice yourself feeling content earlier than if you were to eat fast. If you like cereal (cut milk down to a 1%) special k plus protien is one of the healthiest cereals out there. (just a note) Start a simple workout program. I've started doing sit ups, pushups, and a run. Try setting your max the first time you do it. (giving it all you've got!) Then break that down into sets... Lets say my max is 50 sit ups, 25 push ups, and 13 minutes for a mile and a half run. So do 3-5 sets of 25 sit ups 3-5 sets of 13 push ups, (with very little rest time in between push ups and sit ups) and jog your mile and a half.Do this everyday and you'll see the numbers drop. Keep at it, and if i come across any other tips (from reading materials or my recruiter/ sources for most of the material) I'll let you know. Let me know how this all works for you. I'd love to hear your progress. "

So there you have it. I'll post (about this topic) sometime next week to show some more changes!
