Lance- Trying to become a firefighter.

<< < (2/6) > >>

Paul:
Being from a firefighting family, I am biased, but definitely go for it if that is your dream.  You'll only do really well in a career that you love.  Prof Melon gave some great advice about the carbs/oil bit.  It seems that guys need to stay away that as much as possible.  I personally have my best success with lean broiled protein, fish, chicken, even beef and pork if you watch the fat content of the meat.  Best of luck Lance. 

Kajun:
go for it man, firefighting is a honorable job.......when i want to drop weight fast..i eat  steamed veggies and chicken breast or salad, or any high fiber foods.....i'd stay away from weight lifting and do pushups,situps, pullups, running or swimming....i think its better to be lean and cut than bulked up cuz once you stop it turns to fat easy....stay away from the fad diets if ya can......i'll be starting my wieght loss program within the week or so.....trying to ween myself off beer now lol...

I knew I was good company.  Thanks for all the feedback my sly bros and for the motivation.  Everybody has given a lot of good advice.  Believe it or not cutting down on beer isn't too hard for me. I've cut way back since the birth of my son. I am very happy and proud to say that I quit smoking also the day he was born. It will be a year come March 19th.  I've always loved to smoke but to be honest after all this time not smoking I don't know what I ever seen in it.  The late night eating is one of my biggest problems. I'll do my best to cut back on that. I'll definitely check the abs diet out and see what it has to offer.  Thanks again for the feedback.

MR. CLEAN:
Bro, being that we are both pursueing a dream of work in Noble Professions, I have to say that you and I are kind of working with the same Motive in mind.  Big ups to you Bro, for me, Cutting down on Beer was (and still is) Hell.  I am a self Professed Beer Snob, so me without a good beer every weekend is like the Cookie Monster giving up Sweets.
As far as Smoking, Big Ups man.  But the Late Night eating, Dude!  That kills me every time.  Nine O'Clock cravings for either Cheese Nips, or a sandwich, or any number of Salty Meaty Tasty Items.  I have raised my tea drinking habit from about a cup every once and a while to a few cups a night to help combat this.  If I'm drinking tea, I try to focus on that and that helps me stay out of the fridge.  I'm with ya here bro, Keep up the solid work.  Keep the updates coming on your progress.  l8r

Lance.  Thanks for your positive comments to me and all others.  Here are a couple of things that worked for me.  I cut out soft drinks, period.  Don't like diet, so I went cold turkey.  I replaced sugar with Splenda for my coffee.  I started jumping on my son's trampline.  Great, low impact exercise.  Now I can feel my abs!!!  I lost 25 pouds and have kept it off for 2 years.  I eat what I want, but never after 8:30 PM.

Good luck on your goals.  The little guy is really growing up.
