Well, I'll give you the short version. For thr LOOOOOOOONG version, you can check my diary here:

So anyway. In short. I made
fitness the number one priority in my life. I hit the
gym BEFORE work, making the first thing i do each morning is take care of my self. I picked a
sport to keep my heart going, which was tennis. I hit the
gym 5 days a week and i'm there anywhere from one hour to 3 depends on my
cardio/weights mix. I have ALWAYS lifted
weights along with
cardio. I do less
cardio in the
gym because i make up for it with tennis and such. I used the elliptical exclusively for the first 6-7 months as
cardio in the
gym, but now i run laps. I run anywhere from 12 to 20 miles a week, and I do
weights 3-5. I vary my lifting, some days are really heavy, some are really light, and i always change up what i am doing when doing
weights. These days i am learning soccer (or football, for non-north americans), along with tennis, running, and
weights. As far as intake, I eat pretty freely and i have never counted
calories. That's not to say i didn't keep them in mind, but i never logged a single morsel of food. I eat a ton of grilled food, and a lot of raw veggies, like broccoli, mushrooms and olives..mmmmmm lol. A lotof salads, with no dressing. I do indulge a bit, but its because i get about 10-20 hours of exercise a week. My
diet is nothing special. Have things to snack on like nuts, raisins, hummus, fruits and veggies. I also drink 3 liters to a gallon of water a day. so there ya go. Here i am in about to finish month nine and my
goal of 100lbs seems to be in clear view. hope that helped.
One more thing. I live life as if i already weigh my
goal weight, and i always try to do a litttle more each time i workout. I've burnt out before and it happens, but take a week off and get back to it. I figure if i live my life in that manner, my
body HAS to adjust too meet that, and it is. Also don't be a slave to food. don't beat yourself up if you eat something not so healthy. make it up the next day. Weightloss is an ongoing process, If you eat a 1000 over today, than take in 100 less the next ten days to balance it out. its not hard, we just make it that way. You mind has to control your
body. ok i'm done lol.
