I'm heading into college, weighing about 170 pounds. So I'm down about 35 pounds from my worst weight, but I've gained five back recently due to just about the worst eating and exercise habits you have ever seen. I'm not as concerned with my weight as I'm concerned with how out of shape I am- five pounds doesn't mean much to me, but the fact that I can't see the muscles in my arms or run a mile anymore bothers me.
So, two issues:
Diet: I am going to have a meal plan and besides that I am dead broke, so I am restricted to dining hall food, which I hear bad things about as far as healthiness. Does anyone have any experience with losing weight eating such food?
Exercise: Generally, I am an avid fencer, and as a part of high school fencing did a lot of conditioning in addition to fencing three hours a day, so it was not that hard to lose weight during the fencing season. There is not really any fencing to speak of at the college I'm going to, and I suspect it's going to be hard/boring to make up that much exercise in a gym, and my roommate might not appreciate morning plyometrics, in addition to the fact that I'm probably not going to have a ton of time. What types of exercises have worked for you when you wanted to get a lot done in not very much time?
Thanks!
