-65 Lbs - Halfway to goal! (Picture Heavy)

what's your routine eating and exercising??

Eating:

I cycle my calories throughout the week. Basically, just depending on what my body says. I never, ever, eat less than 1200 calories; and most days I eat my BMR (which is estimated at around 1780).

I do not eat my exercise calories back all the time, I eat 25-60% of them back if I am hungry that day. It really just varies on how I feel each day on if I do that or not.

I try and consume plenty of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats. I mix things up to keep my body guessing, and get a nice mix of nutrients. For me, lunch is when I'm least hungry..so typically I have most of my calories spread between breakfast and dinner..and lunch I keep light.

Exercise:

I workout 5-6 days a week. I typically go to the gym, but do try and mix that up as well. I do full body strength training 3 days per week. This includes a mixture of dead lifts, squats, bench press, kettle bells, and machines. For cardio, I also try and keep this mixed up...My choice of equipment at the gym is the arc trainer, and I mix in alot of the stationary bicycle and treadmill as well. To get things mixed up...(or when I'm out of town like now..I'm in WV visiting my mother and family) I like to go to Zumba class, walk/run intervals (about 3-4 miles), zumba dvd, hip hop abs dvd... Just whatever I can do to work different things, and also keep stuff fun!
