i tend do to better over break i think during that time just cuz thats usually when i work out and i can catch myself better. During school, thats generally when im done with classes, get bored or i start working on hw and i start getting the munchies. I usually try chewing gum when i get the munchies or i'll try to just drink a lot of water.

Original Post by frosh15:

how do you guys deal with alcohol at school? I am not much of a drinker.. i m just curious.. how or what u do to avoid those sneaky calories

Well im with clw36, I usually check the calories of a drink (socially drinking) before i drink or usually if i know im going to go out and party or drink, im really careful on how much and what i eat earlier in the day and usually try to get in a decent workout. I don't generally drink beer, socially thats about it, same goes for malt drinks. Im not a person who needs or wants to drink every day, once, twice a week. Just be aware of what your drinking and how much, personally i dont think theres anything wrong with cutting loose once in a great(*cough*after  Finals) while but just stay on track with your diet and bounce back.

also, for a little more chatting heres a few more Q's for us.

What time of day do you prefer to work out? morning, afternoon etc...

When you work out, what's the target you shoot for? working out for X amount of minutes, or working out to a certain distance, or calories?

Where are we from? More so information for like elevation and whatnot.

 

I prefer working out in the mid afternoon, usually around 2-3pm. I really can't do anything physical early early in the mornings, that makes me feel sick.

I usually set a target of around 350 calories when i work out not including my warm up or warm down. some days i'll go more, others less, depends how tired i am :)

I'm from Colorado, mile high in elevation. I just wanted to point out elevation since a person's body gets a little more demanding as elevation increases.

Yeah ive read a few places that its like a minimum of 1150ish calories for a female in a day and 1500 for a male in a day. Im sure there is some give or take to that for many reasons.

If im not working out i try to keep it around 1600, my sedentary days. When i work out a lot im usually around 1900. Seeing how im a male, might not exactly apply for ya.

I was totally in the same boat. I'm in college, my senior year and i've seen my weight osolate like no other. My freshman year i went in weighing 175lbs and in good shape. I ended up putting on 10lbs by the end of that year. All throughout my college life my weight has gone up and down all over the place.

About a year ago from now i was at my heaviest weight of 220lbs and thats when i started watching my weight again. I love college but as you go on throughout, the harder the classes get and the less free time a person has to work out, that's what usually gets me. I can have a nice workout schedule for a month but then i'll get overwhelmed with school work, exams, research projects and my workout time goes away.


Age: 21

Height: 5'7

Current Weight: 195

Goal Weight: 175-180

Exercise: I attempt to work out a min of 3 days a week, when time provides 5 days. Mostly run and bike machines.
