Here we are. I started three weeks ago with some 6 week goals. Today I started my 4th week. The results are in and honestly, not that thrilled.
I have lost 1 pound. Not at all what I expected. I have spent more time in the gym and more consistently than ever. So, I will not come up with excuses. Just know that I need to do some tweaking.
I think my workouts are good. I am burning calories. I think my adjustments need to be in the eating area. I opted to not go on a "diet" but to just control portions. I have done that for the most part. But I think I need to be more strict with myself. I still refuse to "diet." I just need to go back to being aware of my food intake and how much I eat. I also need to drink more water.
Overall, at the half way check in I would say it has been successful. I am in the habit of working out. That is good. I have somewhat watched my food. Just need to do more. Hopefully tangible results with follow.
Hey buddy, try not to be discouraged. I think you're on the right track regardless of weight loss. I know the word "diet" sucks, but I lost a bunch of weight once with South Beach, so did Gary K. You get to eat steak a lot and lots of little snacks regimented throughout the day. Think about it.
