I'm trying to loose 15 pounds before elk season. The bad part is that I like to eat and drink so it's not working out that well.
And this folks is why I have a man crush. Lol

The diet and all that jazz is more work than working out. My life just doesn't lend itself to that kind of regimen. I'm at a cross roads right now. I am unhappy with my weight and want to change it, but at the same time, I have enough going on in my life that I don't need to add one more responsibility. I have leveled off at 230, which is 20-30 pounds TOO much, but I don't seem to go past that. I've been debating another gym membership, so we'll see how that goes...
I don't wanna be that guy but.... if you combine working out and eating right you'll lose that weight in half the time. Half is used relatively here... I make my dinner meals all on sunday, cook up either 5 chicken breasts w/ a sweet potatoe casserole of some sort(the asparagus takes maybe 10 min to cook each night) or a couple pounds of stir fry or my go to is any healthy crock pot recipe. Then when it comes down to it before work I just add some scoops of yogurt in tubberware, make up my lunch, and I leave my almonds and walnuts at work and eat em outta the bag. I think it's something like 27 almonds is an ounce, approximately... and I leave protein bars at work too, they're a good meal replacement.
It does take thought but it's just another routine for me.
Also if you hate jogging but are looking to increase cardio/lose weight, do interval training. Jog for 2 minutes on the treadmill then walk for a minute then jogg for two min then walk and keep cycling. It's not as intense as just straight jogging but it'll keep you're heart rate up almost as high throughout the entire workout and sure as hell beats walking on a tread mill. You can also interchange that with walking and then increasing your walking pace and elevation angle.
I just did a fast google on the interval training but it's as easy as this and you can obviously change the speeds from what they have

You've definitely been doing your homework on working out and eating healthy. How old are ya man? Are ya married or have any little one's running around. The reason Im asking is, I dont have what it takes to put that kind of effort into my diets or workouts anymore and I'm a 44yr old factory worker with 2 kids rotflmao.
My wife and kids know the one thing that I won't give up. I've been working out for so long and so hard. I'm 40 years old now and although things may get tougher as I age, I'm not going down.
