OT: Some Life Changes.

[RockStarNick]

For me, I've found it's not about adkins, or zone diet, or any fad diet.

Just a few simple things:

1. Calculate your metabolic rate. Do a search online, and plug in your age, height, weight, and activity level, and it will tell you how many calories you burn per day. Do the math. If you're eating over that #, you gain. If you eat under that, and sustain it, you lose weight.

2. Skip soda, drink water.

3. Be really good during the week, treat yourself on weekends. Try to avoid big starchy side-dishes. Stick to the main course, make it count!

4. Get enough protein. It's hard to drop any weight eating all carbs, even if you're clocking in a low calorie count.

You do not need any help with your playing, that's for sure! With my thoughts aside, I know what you mean. People can tell you all day that you don't need to improve. Sometimes that is beside the point. I think it is great that you want to improve from where you are at. I get stuck in ruts all the time (although I am clearly not the player you are). I have recently thought about focusing on a new style all together. I have been really getting into rockabilly music and would love to learn how to incorporate chicken picken with my playing.

As far as your body weight goal, great and good luck! I have been working out like a mad man over the past 13 months and I have seen my body go from that of a 10 year old boy to finally looking like I should. It is fun to see the body change with effort.

I've been thinking that its time for me to get into shape and Ive decided to work out..... Yet again and the plan is to drop my Bodyfat down to the single digits by January.
With that said I have also decided to start Practicing the guitar in hopes of better my playing. My playing absolutely blows IMHO and it's time to correct it.

The difference now is that Im fully prepared to do what I say instead of just saying it and letting go by the wayside

I hope all is well with everyone and chime in if you've got some goals!!

This is great news Ralphie! Now the whole forum can quit calling you "Lumpy" behind your back.

6 feet 220 plus ..... I was 190 ~ 4 months ago. I look best around 190 with my frame. I have been over 260 ~ 4 times so this should be easy. I can gain and loose very easy without drugs. A few other people in my family are the same.
