I need some help starting up.
This was my first day trying to work out. I weighed myself today afterwards and the scale said 245.8 lb. I turned 16 this past June, I am 6 feet tall. I wear 38-30 pants and my shirt size is large. Today I bought an app called "Couch to 5K" for my iPhone, started the program, and finished the first day with no troubles. I was going to fully do P90X in the "Lean" schedule as well but it was too late at night and I still had to do homework. I just started my second semester of dual credit this summer today. I did a few exercises but nothing in reality. So I'm going to try to do it as soon as i get home from college tomorrow. I took a few pictures with my Canon T2i and I'm going to take pictures, weigh myself and post a blog on Tumblr every 3 days. By the end of the 90 days i should have 30 posts. I will be posting how the previous 3 days had been and if any changes, progresses or anything in between were made including my diet.
My plan is to do P90X daily. I want to do CT5K every other day: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In the other days (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) I want to go out for an hour or two and play basketball or some other sport. Sunday would be my day off so I can have some breathing room if I happen to miss a day due to school or work. My question is what you think about this schedule? Is this too much? I'm mostly wanting to lose weight. Lose the hanging stomach, love handles, and look and feel healthy. What are some other changes in diet or exercises that i can add to lose the stomach?
As for my diet today, I did not do good at all. I didn't have breakfast because we had to go early to college. After my last class, i got a Mango Arizona and a small bag of Grandma cookies. When I got home, I was too lazy to make myself anything so i ate 2 left over Taco Bell tacos my uncle had brought the previous day. A couple of hours later, my step mom fed me 4 egg and meat tacos to add to the healthy diet. I started working out at around 8:30 and i ended at about 9:45. A mere 20 minutes of that hour and fifteen minutes was spent on the toilet after all that food came back to haunt me. After working out, i grabbed a few grapes, an orange, and a mango and ate them. I felt i could of done more as far as working out goes, and I WILL do better on my diet tomorrow. I know that instead of eating alot of times of very little is better than eating very little tomes of alot. So I'll see what I'll do tomorrow.
TL;DR: I am starting working out, horrible first day, what now?
