I was just wandering if the following steps that I am taking will result in successful weight loss and management?

My diet, now, only includes raw foods i.e. being fresh, unprocessed, whole foods (fruits, vegetables, grains etc). Across the week, I incorporate lean meat, fish, chicken, eggs. Across the day, I increase the amount of fruit and vegetables in meals (esp. to snack on!), alongside yogurts, nuts, museli, grains and such. I mainly drink water, otherwise oranges I squeeze (when I’m not lazy, otherwise water it is) and chrysanthemum tea – only because I like the taste, and it warms me up in the morning.

I have recently joined a gym, and have been going 4 out of 7 days a week for the past month. Every session, I work out for roughly an hour, most of the time with an extra 15minutes or so. My workout routine consists of both cardio and weight training – in intervals… So I begin with 20mins of cardio (usually 10kms on bike, but sometimes, just a brisk walk on treadmill @ 5.5-6 speed), then I stretch, use the fitness ball, and use machine weights. Then, I go back for 5-10mins of cardio (usually elliptical or treadmill). Afterward, I would train with some free weights – doing reps and such and some medicine ball twists, crunches and a few stretches. Then I go back for one last 10 – 15min cardio on bike. And stretch to end… That’s pretty much all I can fit in with my schedule.. school and homework calls. Oh, and I work out straight after school…

Any tips or advice? I’ll admit that I am quite overweight, but have a goal weight in mind, and hope to achieve it. I keep a ‘diary’ and record my food intake, and how many calories I burn from exercise along. Just counting the cardio, I burn a total of 700 calories per session, so with weight training… that’s a little on-top.

I believe that to burn fat, weight training is necessary as muscles do the actual ‘burning’ right? So, with that in mind, do you think what I’m doing now (the weights and cardio) is balanced? I gain weight proportionally, so I guess I will lose weight the same way? So will this type of ‘combined’ workout achieve this? I don’t want flab in one area.. and be toned in another.

Wow.. that’s quite a lot. If you’ve read it this far, kudos to you! :D

Thank-you in advance for any answers :)

    I received an e-mail for a job offer with a company called ABC Transport SA. Normally when I see stuff like this in my e-mail, I immediately toss it in the trash bin as a phishing scam or some similar form of malicious content.

    However, I was struck by the simple tone of this e-mail. It wasn’t from a Nigerian address, nor did it have poorly constructed English grammar. It seemed legit on the surface, so I sent a reply asking for further information but being careful not to provide any personal information.

    I got back an e-mail stating they would pay $60,000 per annum for working from home helping them with customer service online and over the phones. Moreover, the application just wanted my address, my phone number, my name, gender, and date of birth. They didn’t ask for a Social Security #, a bank routing #, etc.

    However, I was told by Erika Friske, who claims to be one of their managers, that the website for the company is www.abctransportsa.com, and when I go there, it’s a dead website. Moreover, when I try to find information on them via a web search, all I get is hits about a “ABC Transporter protein” involved in vitamin B12 metabolism. When I exclude these kinds of hits from the search, I get 3 hits: 1 is the dead website, 1 is a hit about a Nigerian bus line, and the other is a dead file.

    So I’m extremely dubious about this company. I am curious, therefore, to know if anyone else out there has had any dealings with “ABC Transport SA”. If so, did they attempt to phish you for information? Did they end up being a legitimate, LEGAL, paying company, or did they just rip you off?

    Thanks for any light you can shed and God bless you!

        The fee increases would be balanced by a raise in “the level of financial assistance for needy low- and middle-income students,” according to a statement from the Board of Regents. The tuition hike is expected to raise $505 million for the university system, and about $175 million of that money would go toward financial aid for low-income students, the board said.

        ****
        In other words, liberals, tuition hikes on wealthy students are necessary to subsidize low-income students – but this is exactly what ObamaCare is going to achieve.
