Hello all,
Here is the story...I've always struggled with my weight since I can remember, and I've finally decided to forgo all of the excuses from the past and really become serious about my nutrtion and workouts. I'm 23 years old 5'8 and 160lbs. I've spent the better portion of my life on a diet, and frankly i'm tired. I want to no longer have "fat" clothes in my closet, I want to feel good about what i put in my mouth, i don't want to see anymore flab....bottom line i'm young and don't want to look back at this time in my life only remembering feeling miserable.
I do know the basics....cardio 4-5x/week 45min, strength trainig 3x/week, 6-8 small meals a day high protein, moderate carbs, low fat....the only thing is actually doing these things is harder than just saying i'm gonna do it. I always start off with good intentions and just fall back into old habits....but like i said NO MORE EXCUSES. I was hoping that I could get some suggestions on different resources to search for different workouts....things you may do for cardio that aren't the usual....good books/magazines/websites with weight training workouts?
I also was wondering if taking ephedrine and caffine together minus the asprin has the same benefits as the full ECA? How much caffine + ephedrine do you recommend to get a good workout out of? Any extra tidbits would also be appreciated.
I am really glad to have found this site....I know with a little help and a lot of hard work on my part i'll be able to get to were I need to be.
Thanks everyone :)
