gokix's summer kickoff!

[gokix811]

Shoes can be your worst enemy. I get fitted at a running specialty store.. haven't had problems since...

Keep on it.. things can get frustrating.. but you can do it..
Remember to take time off here and there.. flucuate your calories.
How are things looking with your diet? have you found a sweet spot yet for that?

Thanks for the advice! I'm thinking about going to a shoe fitting store. Diet is pretty good. I'm eating clean except 1 day a week. Actually my last cheat meal was like 2.5 weeks ago! Haven't found that sweet spot yet; I'm just adding a few more calories this week because I think my body has been on too low of a cal-deficit and I've stalled on the weight loss these last few weeks. Thank u for the words of encouragement!

How goes things? No update in a while.

Things are good! How are you? I try to update my workouts everyday or at least every other day. And if I can get my camera to work (lens is stuck on error!) I'll post progress pics in about 2 weeks or so! Stay tuned!

I'll follow.

Awesome! Thanks for joining, Aaron!

How much weight have you lost since starting?

I'm going to weigh myself again on Sun/Mon and I'll have an official # for ya then!

You look leaner in your avi. Looks like you killing it. Keep up the good work.

I don't eat the same thing every day so my calories are usually in a range.. don't be afraid to go just a smidge higher or lower ina day depending on what your diet is.. you can do it.. can't wait to hear how it goes with getting fitted for shoes!

Thanks Aaron and mk~ Down ~2.5 lbs this week. I keep fluctuating between 162-163 over the past week. GRRR... I just want to get down to 160! I'm down ~18 lbs since I started late January. 2 more lbs and I'll have hit -20lbs! Crazyness! It's been slow going, so just got to be patient and keep at it! Went for a 2.5 mi. jog this morning and had no fuel whatsoever. Ended up jogging mostly on the grass next to the sidewalk since it was better on my joints.

[ludbg]

You should stop weighing twice a day! Lol

Haha !

I weigh myself once a week but since I was getting closer to 160 I was getting antsy! :P

I always hate that 2 pound flucutation. If you changed up a few things and weight loss is not happened.... Try a fat burner?

I thought fat burners were unnecessary unless trying to get rid of the last 5-10 lbs. I don't think I've reached that point yet, but it is something to consider somewhere down the line.

Well different ppl use them for different reasons. If progress stalls, if they need extra energy from dieting (low cals), if they want appetite suppression.... The last 1 being huge for me.

I'll look into it, thanks aaron! I don't want to depend on burners doing all the work; I know I still have to put in my time. Haha actually I wear a mouth guard at night. Once I finish eating dinner, i brush my teeth, and put it on. Stops me from eating out of boredom!

Cool. Yeah I have an odd schedule.... Work crazy hours, everyday in the week is a different shift or different day off. Some days I end up taking naps.
Sometimes I'm up until 2am... & I'll eat around 12-1am.
The burner comes in handy for me to limit my overall calorie intake.

Sounds super stressful! When do you manage time in to workout? Glad to hear the burners work for you!

It is. Usually I work out @ night. I belong to a gym that's open all the time.
Oh & don't get my wrong I don't use burners all the time.... Hardly ever cause I don't want/need extra stims (usually just a pre work out) but since I'm trying to "cut up" a bit for various reasons I'm incorporating them.

Nice not having to worry about closing times! One less thing to stress about! I work out at home gym (squat bar, bench, plates, etc). It's small but it gets the job done. It's not like I'm squatting twice my BW or anything.

Keep up the great work Kix.
