Fine

Workout was just fine :D

Don't know why I thought it would be so bad but it ended up being just fine, if not better than usual.  I'm sure if i neglected sleep for a few weeks it would start to show up in my work out, but one day here and there doesn't do too much damage.  At any rate, 1/5th of my weight is dropped!

Due to my strict diet and daily/nightly exercise routine, I've lost 10lbs of body fat in 4 days.  To anyone who thinks this to be close to impossible to acheive (as i thought before hand), it is extremely easy to do if you have self discipline and a goal to reach.  This is what i've been doing so far.

Diet:  Water, Bonless/Skinless Chicken Breast, Eggs, Tomato, Small Servings of Cheese, Lunchmeat (no bread), and Beef (Steak, Ground, Etc.)  My portions are fairly small, and the meals are about 4 hours apart.  I usually have 3 to 4 meals a day and have half a banana mid afternoon.  I'm adding tuna to the diet in a week.

Exercise: Running 2 miles a day, walking for 4.  Weight Lifting + Freeweights.  Pushups, Sit ups, and Flutter kicks.  Then at the end of the day I run an extra mile.  I'll be increasing the number of everything I do as time goes on, but there's a great deal of stretching.  If i'm not exercising, eating, working, or sleeping, i'm stretching.

Everyone is different, this is just what is working for me.  But the main point is if you're serious about losing the weight, you need to prove it.  Cut out every liquid but water, and seriously go over your diet cutting out snacks, night time eating, and size portions out as small as you can get them.  Don't starve yourself, but eat only the amount so you aren't hungry anymore.  If your hungry at first between meals, that is totally normal.  You're used to eating more and your stomach isn't full.  Great thing about it is it will go away in a week or two as your stomach shrinks.  Hope this helps someone out, as I never thought I could lose this much this quick.

For the record I started at 243lbs, and a decent amount of that is body fat.  I'm down to 232 and counting after 4 days.
