cardio is a ____

use wheat bread for your sandwiches. 
 
 
Take pictures when you get down to 198lbs. hehehehe were going to opposite routes you and I.   I am shooting for above 210 your shooting for below 200 lol.   Only difference is I have alot more lean mass, you have not had the time to build the muscle yet but your starting!  
 
 
I just wanted to let you know nothing is going to happen over night and it may take up to 2 years before you have the lean looking physique you desire.   But your going to look 10x better in probably less then a year.

of course dude. and thanks for the words of advice!
 
i always eat wheat bread. do you think that i have too much calories and fats and such?
 
it took me for ever to look at all my labels and tally it up.

IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS I WILL POST BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES. YALL MIGHT BE DISGUSTED BUT IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT I USED TO LOOK LIKE. APPLAUD ME FOR EVEN GETTING OFF MY ASS AND DOING SOMETHING BOUT IT....

cardio is a ____

i went for a lil power walking this morning after i woke up at 9:00am. man it was cold. 36 degrees and wind was pounding me at 13 mph.
 
i was freezing. but determination kept me warm.

cardio is a ____

ok so today i worked out chest and triceps. it went good, i was cold though!!! its getting colder down here in louisiana. getting harder for my body to warm up. so ima have to start wearing jogging pants to workout.
 
i also took sum pics of my "gym". hope you like em.
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

cardio is a ____

ok. today went well also. biceps and back. i was lookin over my workout book and noticed an exercise i did a long time ago. bent-over barbell pull? i think thats it...
 
 
well i added that to my routine b/c i thought my back department was lacking. man after i did those 3 sets, i was hurting! i could feel my back tightening up a lil bit. plus i didnt do close-grip lat pulldowns right b/c im not using the right tool on the cable machine. im using the curling hand bar thing but i need a triangle looking attachment. i cant describe it.

cardio is a ____

ok today was legs and abs. man i did the ab workout and i felt bad after that. like i really worked those muscles! but its not like i overtrained them. but all in all it was a good workout. i will keep you guys posted.

cardio is a ____

LoL bro! I use to have a weight set like that!?  Had a flat bench just like that!  But I couldn't put anymore weight on it because I was affraid the bar was going to break.. Not to mention it just felt flimsy..   Thats a decent starting bench though,  the bar only weighs like 10lbs or so..  your going to end up buying alot of 25's and eventually your going to have the problem that I had with the bar flexing.

i think it weighs 15 pounds. but i dont think i will put that much weight on it like you do. im not an animal like you lol
