Give your opinion on my first week back at training

techsta

So I've recently gotten back on the bandwagon and have worked out 5 times since last Sunday, burning the following:


Sun 14 Apr: Treadmill, run/jog 30 mins- 400 cals
Tue 16 Apr: Treadmill, run/jog 30 mins - 400 cals
Wed 17 Apr: Outside run/jog 35 mins - 417 cals
Sat 20 Apr: Treadmill/Elliptical trainer 30 minutes - 297 cals
Sun 21 Apr: Treadmill faster run/job 35 minutes - 510 cals

There is no weight training yet

a) because I need to get a PT first to retrain me (I feel like I could be doing it wrong and don't want to give myself screwy posture)
b) I would like to focus on cardio intially and getting back to some sort of fitness level

Previously I was doing no exercise , simply walking to and from work (20 min walk per day in total)

I am trying to keep my calories to no more than 1400, but finding it really hard to give up alcohol.

Currently my carb/fat/protein split is 47% / 25% / 28%

Any recommendations? Suggestions? Looking to shift weight as quickly as possible.

Good job on getting into a fitness program. Kudos!

I think if you're looking to drop weight and you're happy with what you're doing, then continue onward. But you're right that you'll want to incorporate some resistance training. I guess I would suggest alternating between steady-state cardio with HIIT cardio or plyometrics. I think you'll burn more bodyfat this way (than just steady-state cardio).

Continued success on achieving your fitness goals!
