diet: ~3000 kcal/day. using info from a nutrition prof of 30+ years. carb/fat/protein ratio probably poor. high fat, moderate protein, low carbs. generally too lazy to pay very close attention to diet. picky eater (strong dislike for "greens".) good cook, when I cook it's generally low fat stews/soups with most fats being olive oil or meat oils. I do not eat sugar (no sodas, sugar-sweetened tea, RARE sweets/deserts) I do eat 3-4 "meals" per day, usually only 1 is large. large one is often eaten outside home.
habits: sleep iregular, but correcting (ambien.) was heavy smoker, quitting- dip+nicorette at lower dosages. drunkass- 8-12 beers or a couple 40s, shots of liqour when appropriate... usually only drink on weekends, both friday and sat.
work out: 30 mins of cardio, been doing 2, now ramping up to 2.5 miles total movement. progressively running more and walking less (last work out was 1.5 miles total running, 1 walking--next will be more running.) cardio program only serious past 3 weeks. lifting routine consists of 2 chest/tricep and 2 back/bicep/shoulder days evenly spaced. I tend to focus more on high reps done quickly with small breaks. total time working out approx. 1 hr, always at least 30 mins. rarely do abs.
problem: weight loss was rapid at first after adding an "intense" cardio routine, 268-258 within a week. since then has stagnated at 258 over past 3 weeks.
question: I know I could improve diet, but did the first 10 pounds lost fool me? are there other likely explanations or do I have to man up? what are some techniques you guys use to maintain diet? is it necessary to cut out alchohol altogether? any other tips/thoughts welcome of course. pic related, it's what I'm trying to lose.
