Ok, im at the gym on day 8 of my workout/diet schedule. and im working hard as normal, when i notice this REALLY cute girl (tall, short black hair, tan, flawless smile, athletic build) is stealing glances at me (and yes, it had to be me unless she was stealing glances at the section of wall behind me). probably cause i was wearing a red sox shirt

I know I had to cut out lifting in the beginning and focus on cardio to get my metabolism going. I found that activities worked better than just jogging. I did some video aerobics and whatever goofy stuff the gang did on cookouts and whatnot. After a few months, I did get back to lifting and my body took to it better than it had in years.

Also, I would also suggest keeping your diet varied. I was able to cut portions and still enjoy the food I love which was a gigantic help. It was only when I stepped away from this idea that the weight piled back on.

I hope this helped.

I gained back a small part of the weight I lost in the last couple of years because I stopped thinking about what I was eating.

On the food front you might want to get a small notebook and write down what you are eating. It doesn't have to be super detailed (this morning I wrote down Breakfast at 8:30, English Muffin, Coffee with skim milk and splenda).

It's super easy to be eating more than you need to even when you think you are being good.

I started keeping track of what I have been eating only about 5 days ago, and even that has helped me lose almost 2 pounds of the weight I had gained back.
