How do you maintain your perfect physical specimen so they keep drooling over you? ;)

Turns out I've lost some weight (without actively trying :o). This morning all of my school shirts were in the wash except for one which I never wear because it's always been too small for me. So in desperation I put it on and it fits. :eek: The only recent change to my lifestyle was changing my Tai Chi class - from one that pretty much only did forms (boring) to another one which does applications and now incorporates contact push hands (which can get pretty rough - they're seriously talking about investing in jigsaw mats). :D

So, I've steadily lost about 10kg. But since then have plateaued for 6 months. Trying to shift at least another 5kg to achieve the perfect physical specimen so they keep drooling over me. Any advice appreciated. I DON'T DO TAI CHI. :D

My daily routine

6 - 630 start time at the gym, comprised of:
35min cardio - usually 6.5km - 7.5km
50min - 70min weights session (depending on workout selected)
Home by 8am
Breaky is usually a bowl of muesli
Off to work - 830am
Snacks - almonds
20 min walk
12-1230pm - lunch. I am currently on the menu plan from My Muscle Chef. Its fantastic... highly recommend.
Snacks - almonds
20 min walk.
Home - 530 - 6pm
30 min HITT session
Dinner 830pm - Again another delicious my muscle chef meal.

Have been at this for 7 weeks now. Feeling absolutely sensational. Still more to go, but well on the way.

I’m a geek. So I have an excuse to be a fatty fatty boom boom.:D

I'm always in shape because round is a shape. :p

I usually do some casual boxing routine at home. I have a boxing bag setup with some weights.
I have also found that I am cutting back on the booze through the week. Hoping to get to only a drink through the week and also I have stopped snacking and choosing the water or fruit option.

I am currently reading the book "Presto" by Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller fame). He goes on that Potato for 2 weeks diet that Kevin Smith did after his heart attack. It's an interesting read that he also talks about their performances in Vegas for their magic show.

I too would lose weight if my diet was potatoes.

But I read somewhere that it can be a good thing to stabilise body weight for a period followed by some more weight loss and so on.

Its funny as most of you are trying lose a bit of weight or be more active I'm actually trying to put weight on. So I'll do a bit of a run down on my day.

11am yoghurt with muesli or cereal
12pm Gym session followed by 20 mins of cardio
2:30pm 1 1\2 cups of oats with protein powder
5:30 Chicken, rice and broccoli (sometimes switch it out for meat and potatoes)
Off to work
7pm Protein cookie, apple and carmans protein muesli bar
9pm 5 eggs and 1 cup of rice
12am snack of rice cakes with protein spread and some trail mix
2-2:20am high protein frozen meal usually peanut satay chicken.
3:30am bed zzz

one day a week i go crazy and just eat whatever, it;s a bit tedious but ypu gotta feed those muscles:) I mean it doesn't always go exactly like that as i have 3 children with after school activities but it's close enough.
