Subject: RE: Training Plans Really Enough? I hope you're tracking your intake, becuase your cals burned are not all that high right now. I wouldn't expect any weight loss in 2 weeks in any case, but it you are eating to sustain 185, then at 185 you will stay. As workouts get longer, you'll have to think about hydration and calories taken in while exercising. Do you know what you need now, calorie-wise? Try the Nutrition Tracker to find out, or another site like fitday.com Should you lift as well? Simple answer, Yes! Strengthening your muscles will make your muscle tissue burn more calories and most training plans suggest a whole body workout done twice per week. Could you fit that it? Do you know where to start? There are lots of good articles and training plans here, so look around and find one that appeals to you. Above all: keep it doable and consistent. Don't start to eat or train in a way that isn't sustainable or compatible with the rest of your life as you want to live it. Short-term efforts don't help more than they frustrate. Patience, grasshopper. |
