Hi everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Al, and my trainer, as many of you know is Randy AKA: Rubicon19. I am going to be using this space to post all of my progress etc. I look forward to everyone's feedback and knowledge to help. My goal is to lose 30 lbs of fat and gain 5-10 lbs of muscle. My current weight is 197lbs and my height is 5'7". I am a junk food addict , so that is my hardest hurdle. With some encouragement and motivation, I'm sure I can do it though. Thanks for letting me post in here. Wish me luck! Big AL

So far so good. I don't feel deprived or hungry. I would be happy to stick with this diet the whole way out, but I that ain't gonna be the case! My biggest thing is waking up in the middle of the night hungry. You go to the fridge, and you don't think "Hmm...l am dying for some chicken breast!" We have a cabinet in our house designated the Carb cabinet , with everything from chips, pretzels, cereal bars, cakes, cereal, cookies....UGH! When you wake up at night, that's the first place you look! This will be tough, but with support, definately doable. Thanks Guys!

Easiest way for me to clean my eating up. Look at food as fuel to build a better body. It is not suppose to be a luxury item. It does get easier Al. Oh Yeah welcome to the board

Welcome to the board! ;D I love the "carb cabinet" I was cracking up reading that! Maybe you need to keep it named the carb cabinet, move some things around and put your bb food in front of the carbs and in the middle of the night when you automatically head there the bb food will be right there when you open the doors.....good idea! #hungry3mi#

Thanks for the change in mindset Roger. I will have to change my thinking. Karrie, thanks for the idea of putting good food in the CC. I am usually groggy in the late hours, and eating healthy doesn't normally pass my mind at 1am. This way it will be in my face! I am definately going to try it. Anyone have any words of wisdom on how to change sleeping patterns so that I can wake up at 5am to go to the gym?

That one's easy. My hours for work are 5:00 am to 1:30 pm. I go to bed at 8:00 pm. I am usually awake at 3:00 am ready to get going.

Put a lock on the carb cabinet and tell them to hide the key from you. Seriously!

Hey Big Al! Welcome Aboard! I think you have 2 choices 1. Roll over and go back to sleep, don't get out of bed. 2. Push back the carbs and put your whey in front, have a shake instead of chips. Good luck
