Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

1) How many kilos (approx) to get down to ideal weight?

weight now: 85, weight at start of uni: 98, ideal weight: 75-80

2) Reasons for being at current state

HSC weight gain, sporting injuries --> stopped playing soccer (football), stopped playing golf, started unhealthy eating habbits ...

3) Why I want to loose weight

Chicks stopped looking at me, feel better about myself, aim to start playing soccer (football) again ...

4) How I plan to loose weight

food and drink - try to replace soft drink with water and tea, my mums cooking is too good to turn down so no changes would be made there ...

gym ... last year semester 2 program done at mq uni gym 3 times a week (one and only semester ive been on plan due to injury and lost 10kg in that time)

xtrainer 35 mins = 1000 calories burned (level 12 constant keeping above 60rpm)
weights machines concentrating on chest and abs
rowing machine 2km = 150 calories burned
treadmill run 5km = 500 calories burned
weights machines concentrating on chest and abs
back on xtrainer for about 15 mins on lower setting (10) = 350 calories burned

=2000 calories burned x 3 times a week x about 10 weeks in a semester + almost no dietary change = 10kg lossed

note: xtrainer = easier than running/cycling and is kinda like both + it burns a alot more calories

5) Subjects being studied at MQ (for potential studdybuddy purposes)

ACCG200, ACCG201, ACCG251, PHIL137

6) Academic goals

maintain creditish avg

7) How I plan to get my marks up

studybuddy anyone? um ... start studying earlier and do plently of past papers ...

Daily eating habbits

>Breakfast - cheerios + fullcream milk + a bit of honey + one glass orange juice
>Lunch - sandwich (usually salad and chicken/ham/tuna) + piece of fruit
>Snack - piece of fruit
>Dinner - whatever mum cooks, try hard to limit to 1 serving ...

I have a mate going to the US and bringing me back as many as legally possible... (does anyone know if you can buy them in Aus)


on the bright side i have been doing sit ups and rowing and the bike, so i am tyring to get back in shape!!

hersheys cookies and creams are sold at this lolly shop in pitt st mall.. its located in the large food court. Is that what your looking for?

lunchie: sandwich nutella
dinner: rice with lotus and boy choy

[*hopeful*]

awww 10kgs ? i wish i had the motivation cuz i'd be over the moon if i lost that much

rubix u sound pretty healthy cuz it doesnt sound like u eat as much as other guys i know

 

[glitterfairy]

He could be a big dinner guy, though. I hear Kyle Sandilands only eats one meal a day!



Breakfast: Actually, what did I have for breakfast?! I can't really remember :S That's not a good sign. OH WAIT! I've already done my summary for today

Dinner: Whoo it's the BBQ chicken dinner night! (we normally have this once a week) I've had some BBQ chicken with potato, and about to have some chicken caesar salad... if I can find the space in my tummy!

Study: I still have to type up LOADS of stuff for BBA and SOC, will get to that after this

Exercise: 1 1/2 hour tap lesson. Ha. I've just started on Level 9 of my syllabus (highest level), and I recognise at least half the steps from routines I've done before, and picked up all the combos in one lesson (which MUST faster than when I picked up Levels 7 and 8, and I thought I ran through them pretty snappily) If my calculations are correct, I've been ready for Level 9 for the last 3 years... lol. Isn't that a nice thing to know? (Disclaimer: This isn't me trying to be overly arrogant, but just like many other solo eisteddfod tappers I've been training "above my exam level" for years now to maintain a competitive advantage, because doing examwork takes up precious training time otherwise spent on perfecting routines)

In other news, it's the first time I had the private lesson in weeks because my tap teacher was away... and I was getting freaked out in the hall (I've been training in there since I was like, 15, and no problems until today) because I kept on hearing weird noises, and I would immediately stop tapping and scuttle (heh, or "skittle") to the other side of the room because I was too scared to continue... lol. I know most of the noise was static from the speakers, but there was this whistle I heard that freaked me out so badly that I even squealled!!! hahaha

this 16 y/o boy i know eats jsut one meal a day, and hes taller than me (but he's short) ... and weighs like in the 30s... i was like jeeeebus when i found out.. cuz he doesn't look it... and hes taller than me and a guy!

anyway

breakfast coffee and sultana bran
lunchy munchy tuna/cheese/salad sandwich, sugarfree V
snack 1.5 apple

lunch-tuna sushi roll
afternoon-bowl of chicken/veg/hokkein noodle thing
dinner-same as above
afta dinner-a bit more of above and bowl of milo cereal n skim milk
snacks-a billion n one m&m'z and bout 2 go 2 macca's n get the new yummy brownies or an oreo mcflurry or even worse: fries!

the bad thing is i dont stick to a routine everyday.... 2day was alryt cuz i wuz at uni so i wuznt pigging out at random times but look at everything afta 'afternoon' and its all over the place

 

[*hopeful*]

yeh! where were u ? i wuz waitin 4 the attack in bba lecture ?

p.s i feel so much better afta that whinging essay of a post (look above)

 

[pb]

hopeful im like that too. i eat at like random times and stuff.. and like 500000 times a day
but im tryyyying to stick to a routine ... its hard
lol thats my main 'get healthy' goal
i still eat like that .. but not as much so yeh =)

what im trying to do is 3 meals a day + 2 fruit snacks between (i tried to eat fruit after meals but well ur stomach is the size of ur fist so yehh ) ... and only like 1 tub of yoghurt or fruit between dinner and sleep. keeping to a routine like that is harder than it sounds lol ... esp if ur a boredom/emotional/procrastination eater like me. ... and esp today i did hella crap. i had like 2 dinners lol.


on a random note, im addicted to youtube and this song rocks lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwt3fTfDlCg&search=mixed tape mannequin
