I must be doing something wrong but what ?
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2012 12:09 amhey i was wondering if you could help me a little,
I am a guy aged 25 and 16st 11lb.
i have been trying for the past 4 weeks to shift a few pounds and feel healthier but i havent had any success just yet.
I have been going to the gym for 4 weeks 3-4 times each week. in each session i have been doing at LEAST 40 minutes of spinning at high intensity resulting in me being covered in sweat ( so i know i am definatly working out !!). after the cardio work out i hit a few weights working on shoulders and arms, no more than 3 machines with 3 sets of 10 reps.
I would have thought that the above work out over 4 weeks would have given some sort of result by now ?
I am going to go to the gym anyway as there is nothing better to do after work anyway but i am almost losing faith in the whole project
my diet is not that bad, usually start the day with toast with butter, lunch is a sandwich, crisps and a soft ( non fizzy) drink. dinner is usually meat with jacket potatoe, sometime pasta with meatballs etc. So all in all i dont think my diet is too bad either
on the weekends i partake in very active sports all day on a sunday. i regularly have a few beers on a friday with my friends too - never usually having more than 4-6 pints of cider or lager whatever takes my fancy at the time.
should i cut the drink to see the results i want ?
would it help if i did a food diary next week ?
any help would be appreciated !
