...any weight, whats wrong ?!? My workout consists of:
-10 minute walk to the gym (i consider this my warm up.)
-20 minute treadmill (usually around 7.8 mph) with 1 20 second water break in between
- 10-15 minutes of decent resistance training/weights
- another 10 minutes of cardio (treadmill or bike.)
Just from the treadmill alone i burn 500+ calories (according to the display on the treadmill).
i have been going everyday almost for most of the summer.
At the beggining of the summer i was 181 pounds, and i am 6 foot 1. i was mostly trying to get rid of my belly/oblique/butt fat that i carry around with me. and by about mid july (a month and a bit ago) i quickly dropped to 173 pounds. which is where i still am right now....
I dont understand. i eat a pretty light amount food (compared to what i used to eat.) such as, a 1 medium bowl of honey bunches of oats cereal in the morning. usually a banana and a light lunch. Then usually some sort of meat (chicken/steak) for dinner, and i have stopped drinking 2% milk and i have pretty much only been drinking water, (milk with dinner only.) . So i dont really think it could be my eating habits.
The thing that is bugging me is that, in the last 6 weeks or so, i have probably burned about 16,000-20,000 calories in the gym. but my body fat isnt showing ANY signs of decreasing. my belly seemed like it was shrinking very slightly, but in the last 4-5 weeks, i have seen no improvement.
So, i havent seen any weight loss on the scale, and i have hardly seen any physical differences in my fat regions either. Did i just simply hit a bump in the fat losing cycle ? should i just keep continuing this routine and hope for the best ? or should i try something totally new ?
P.S. i have muscle, i can feel it, it IS there, i just cant see it.... its under about 1 and a half inches of belly flab...
