Oh, I’m a chip man. Well, looks like you have things under control. Once in a while its okay to succumb…

My wife made some chocolate chip ones without the chocolate chips. I don’t like the chips to much. I was kind of down in the dumps that day and begged her. She pretty much always supports me so well and wanted to this time, but she gave in to the “peer pressure”

I didnt do cardio during that time…I get what you mean. Cardio can be high intensity workouts, as long as I sweat, I consider it cardio. Then thing with me, mentally, I need to be able to go for runs, or play a game of pick up, or hop on a bike. It’s part of what I want to be able to do, be active.

When I mentioned that I ate, I mean I ate crap, and lots of it. But I still lifted, not with enough intensity, but I still lifted.

I left a comment on your site regarding what your training routine consisted of, I couldnt find your workout routine that you used to successfully drop 130 lbs with only strength training.

Congratulations on your renewed commitment!

However, I don’t believe that cardio is the answer. Israel, you said:

“I still worked out but didn’t focus on the cardio like I should have. All I did was lift weights and EAT.”

I successfully lost a lot of fat (130lb) and “all I did was lift weights and eat.” Seriously. The answer is in that sentence. But it’s HOW you lift weights and eat that can make all the difference. It’s quite possible that the cardio is doing more to hurt your fat loss program than help it.

It is pretty easy for us to lose sight in our weight loss journey sometimes. We just get back on track though. I lost 130, and during this holiday season I botched it up a little. I even found myself eating like 15 cookies in one sitting once. Oh well, we live, we learn, we lose. good job man

Awesomeness here! You sound inspired! That’s great!

I used to be a non-veggie person. They rule! (I can’t believe I just said that!) In fact, I won’t eat if I can’t have my broccoli.

Dunno if I could handle the ice cream thing though. Probably not! No, definitely not.

Thanks. I had sausages, chicken Parmesan, sandwiches, and a lot more, and never once felt restricted.

Sounds like you’re on the right track. The thing I like the most about your post is that I didn’t see the word “diet” once. You seem to be making real changes in your habits for the long term. This is the only way to go if you want lasting success. Keep up the good work, and thanks for your blog

Over 6 pounds in just over a week! Phenomenal! Doing that while eating a variety of foods is the way it’s supposed to go. That’s inspiring.
