I have worked with thousands of people over the years and it is a pleasure when someone starts training and is SO WILLING to change! Alex is a perfect example of being a great student and the results that can happen, when you change so willingly! I am excited to see how far he can go!
Alex started training ( 4/21/2010), weighing about 227lbs.
Old habits:
Every meal eaten out, everyday.
I ate anywhere from 3 to 4 times a day to sometimes 5 to 6 times a day and was always fast food.
Tried staying away from soda about 3 months before starting training but still had some maybe once a week. Mostly drank lemonade, iced/sweetened teas.
Also, whenever working I would eat a burger and fries (they’re free when you’re working, so hard to resist).
Oh and candy was a weakness. Maybe had at least one a day.
New habits:
Only eating meals cooked myself. (Chicken and Salmon mostly)…and trying to have vegetables or a salad with those meals.
Breakfast is usually 3 organic eggs with a piece of whole wheat bread (bread isn’t everyday).
Also having protein shakes once a day.
And green tea twice a day.
Oh and I drink lots and lots of water.
Last time being weighed on 4/28/2010 was 217.6. That’s 8 lbs lost in one week! I know that a lot of that weight is water, bloat and other stuff, but I am excited about my progress, my healthy new habits and look forward the next few months!
