All is well, I guess. My workout and diet program is now officially four weeks old. Results? Well, I still refuse to get on a scale, cause I know for a fact I have put on weight, and scales are evil devices besides. My first four weeks I did no cardio, and didn't watch my calories too much, though I did follow a diet eating specific foods. My main focus was strength training and putting on some mass. In this, I was pretty happy. I feel like I have added a lot of muscle. After just four weeks it is evevident in the mirror and when I work out. The negative has been the increase in my waist. Hopefully I will remedie that soon, as I now have added cardio into my workouts. Basically I do a straight hour of cardio every fourth day, and I have cut my calories down to around 1820 a day. After a few weeks, I will add more cardio to my routine and adjust my calories accordingly.
I do have to say that I almost can't even count week four. My workouts were good, and I made it to the gym almost every day, but week four also contained Easter, and three birthday parties! So, yeah I had a lot of crap to eat that I shouldn't have. Well, here's to week five and a new begining within a new begining.
Just for the record this is my training split.
Day 1 - Abs / Chest / Triceps /
Day 2- Shoulders / Back / Biceps
Day 3- Cardio / Abs
Day 4- LEGS
Start over.

Yeah...Easter took a big tole on the diet/workout regiments of most of us.

But you're still on track and that's what counts. Don't get discouraged, it can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks before you even remotely see a difference. The trick is to go by how you feel for a progress gauge.
Also, try to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day - you'll be surprised how that jumpstarts weight loss.
Wow...if you're only doing cardio every 4th day...is that really enough for effective weight loss...wishing I could ask you directly!
Keep reading. I get things figured out later. This was all trial and error. These days I do cardio almost every day if not every other day.
