I’ve been dieting for 3 weeks and hitting daily cardio for 4 weeks. I’m down 10 pounds from 292 to 282 this morning. I can definitely see a difference in my physique in terms of increased fullness (or the appearance of it anyway)--less bloat, thinner skin, increased vascularity, and overall better condition. Training is also getting better. When I first started doing cardio 4 weeks ago, 15 minutes on the step mill killed me. Now, 30 minutes is no problem. My next step will be increasing cardio intensity, although sometimes I do add in a second cardio session later in the day just because I feel like it’s beneficial without any downside. As far as weight training, I’m getting stronger every week on all lifts. While this certainly isn’t powerlifting, this gives me an indication that I’m holding onto muscle and that, generally speaking, things are headed in the right direction. As far as the diet goes, I’ve dropped some carbs in the form of rice because I just didn’t feel like I needed it. I feel better but I also feel my appetite increasing. My guess is that by next week or so those carbs might be back in. I’m also toying with the idea of doing some scheduled carb cycling but I haven’t made any decisions yet, mainly because things are still improving at a nice rate.
