How can I lose weight while gaining upper body strength?
On Saturday, I weighed myself and was surprised to see myself at 182 lbs being 6 ft tall. This is the most i've ever seen myself as i'm use to weighing 170-175 and have been a bit upset since seeing this. There is a couple life style changes that contribute to this weight gain. These are being in an office job everyday, increase food intake, and running slightly less.
I inputted my diet into fitness pal which are similar are for the 5 days a week. My weekend diet varies, but usually don't eat bad it's the alcohol!!! Overall, my diet during the day isn't bad it's the munchies at night. All the sour gummy worms and drum sticks really don't help especially before bed. Entering everything into fitness pal through the day holds me accountable for my calories. Also, cutting down on alcohol and munchies helps. I started doing this Monday and will continue on a daily basis now until it feels not needed.
Nothing I can do about my job role as the money rains so I don't want to change jobs. However, I can increase my fitness slightly more. I currently run a minimum of 5 miles at least 4-5 times a week. Also, I like to play baseball, go on hikes , and do house work.
Looking for any advice to help me reach a goal of 165 lbs and looking sexy. I work from home three times a week so I can incorporate some quick easy work outs.
