Hello, since Bryan/Moneymaker will no doubt grow sick of me annoying him on Skype with constant questioning I thought I'd open this thread if that's cool.
Basically just have a few questions about my average daily routine to see if there's anything obviously wrong with what I'm doing, I've been trying to get into better shape and generally improve my fitness/lose weight over the last year or so and it's been slow but steady progress with me gradually improving my habits as it's gone on. Atm I weigh ~80.9kg and I'm around 5 foot 11, I've been off drink since February bar one night for my birthday for largely unrelated reasons but it's obv been a positive influence too. I've no idea of my 'starting' weight, but it was a fair bit more than that.
My exercise routine I've recently slightly updated, 5 days a week I go out jogging. The jogging track is ~8.5km according to Google maps, but I'm not nearly fit enough to jog solidly for the whole thing, so I'm probably jogging for around 6/6.5km of that and walking for the rest. One day a week I'll also go swimming for around 45 minutes, getting around 35 lenghts of a 25 metre pool in doing the breast stroke since I sadly can't do the crawl to save my life. Daily I try get 300 sit ups in and have started doing push ups too, and for a warm up before this I do a routine sent to me by Moneymaker of...Band pull apart (Using a towel unfortunately) - Bw squat - Band dislocates - wall slides - kneeling plank g-ups - bw lunges - mountain climbs, doing around a minute of each.
Food wise for breakfast I have 2 poached eggs and green tea, for dinner, usually 4/5 hours after breakfast, it varies but say something like fish and instant noodles or chicken and pasta etc for the most part, pretty standard stuff, obviously if I'm out this can vary considerably however. Beyond that I stick mainly to fruit, apples, bananas, strawberries, oranges, grapes, pears etc for snacks whenever I'm hungry between bf and dinner and after dinner, again if I'm out this can vary however.
So basically, as a daily routine for most days, how is that, with the basic goal to get my weight down to around 70kg? Anything should I be doing differently? Unfortunately I can't commit to a gym membership as I don't plan on being in this country in a few months so that makes that considerably harder. I put todays diet and exercise onto that myfitnesspal site angryball linked too and the results were...
--------------Calories--Carbs---Fat----Protein
Totals--------1,247----95------34------21
Daily Goal-----2,165----298-----71 -----81
Remaining-----918------203-----37-----60
It's adjusted my daily goal based on the exercise I've done and what weight I said I want to get too, should I be worried about the fact I've so many calories etc 'remaining' to get to this goal (Today was, if anything, slightly above average for those numbers, especially fat, since I've some leftover remains from a bbq I've been trying to finish off)? Is that a bad thing and should I be eating more as it'd be more +Ev for losing the weight or are those numbers okay? I've no particular timeframe for getting down to 70kg, is this something I should set myself and if so what'd be realistic?
My main problem is I'm a complete n00b when it comes to the science and technical side of all of this kind of stuff so any help, advice or observations would be much appreciated. Cheers.
