I started at the gym about a month ago and went over some stuff with my "Physical Trainer/Coach". They look at your goals and lifestyle and then nitpick you to pieces. This one thing killed me though. My story started back in October. I'm 36 this year, 5'11" and weighed in at 232 lbs., the heaviest I've ever been. I've never worked out a day in my life, I needed help. I drastically changed my diet and with "NO" exercise managed to drop down to 198 lbs at the 2nd week on January. I have wanting to join the gym for a while and haven't had the drive... I joined and started doing Cardio only (about 50 minutes) for the first three weeks 4 times a week averaging 600-650 calories per workout, what a difference in the way I feel.
I feel better now than I ever have...
Now the scary part. I was a serious coffee drinker, probably 2 plus gallons a day, light and sweet.
This is based on the amount of cream etc. put into a medium coffee(14 oz) from DD for “extra lightâ€â€¦
Light Cream has:
240 calories
200 from fat
20 grams fat 32% of daily recommended
12 grams of sat. fat 72% of daily recommended
Half n Half has:
160 calories
120 calories from fat
14 grams of fat 20% of daily recommended
8 grams of sat. fat 40% of daily recommended
Whole Milk has:
75 calories
35 calories from fat
4 grams of fat 6% of daily recommended
2.5 grams of sat. fat 12% of daily recommended
Now think almost 20 times that per day, why was I getting so fat. It's a good thing I have a physical job and don't sit at a desk, I'd be 350 lbs instead...
Hope this makes you think a little, I'm not gonna preach, I was fat and lazy for a very long time.
I now drink 2 10 oz. cups a day...
