Ok...
So Tokin started one of these on another Forum, and there was a lot of feedback, and I know Nico has his regimen that he does, and I know everyone has there own type of diets and workouts.
So here's the deal. I need to loose weight... Lots of it.
Details: I usually sat around 200'ish lbs. A weight I was very comfortable with honestly. I'm a large guy, and through High school I was 185 lbs, playing football and running track. So that kinda gives yah an idea of my body type.
Over the last year, I've gained a considerable amount of weight. I'm going to chalk this up to "eating" and lack of exercise.
Prior to moving to Bellevue, I was living in Hood River, Or. and working in The Dalles, Or.
My daily routine during spring/summer/fall during the weekdays was anywhere from 9-18 miles of riding my bike on the Old Hood River Highway, then Saturday, I would do a 12 mile ride across some trails up off of the old Dalles Road, and sometimes hit up Post Canyon.
My daily intake was just "food". Home Made, home cooked, good ol country livin food.
Fast forward to now. I've gained just over 60lbs since I moved to Bellevue. I gained the most of it, while living out of a Hotel and eating out in New York City (Very Very bad place, so much good food) while there for a month and a half on business last year. Through this summer, I've managed to go up and down in weight, but not really "keep" it off, and always end up where I am now.
Heres my difficulties with Diets: I don't like vegetables. In fact, I absolutely despise them, and on top of that have an intolerance to Onions.
It would probably be easier for me to make a list of the vegies I do like:
Carrots
Potatoes
Corn
Green Beans (Most beans anyways also)
And that's it! Not a whole lot to choose from there, and 3 of the 4 are high starch veggies.
I have tried time and time again to introduce lettuce into my diet. I figure if I could stand it, I could eat a bit healthier just from being able to eat something that would pad my appetite prior to a meal. Lettuce is an odd thing with me, as it's not the taste that bothers me, but the texture, and is a total mental trip I have tried over and over to get used to, but have failed over and over.
The rest of my diet consists of Cheese, meats (Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Pork... I hate lamb, grew up eating it to much, and acquired a dislike for it) and carbs in the form of bread, and pasta.
I like to cook, so preparing food is not an issue with me.
Soooooooo...
Am I fucked? :p
