the last time i was going hard in the gym (similar regimen), in 2 months i had
a. gained 10 lbs
b. lost over 1" off my waist

if i can achieve similar results this time around, i'll be a happy camper.

the awesome bonus is that the gym is right next to my office building, i go straight after work. i get to beat a lot of the traffic from my 40 mile, orange county to la county commute.
last night i worked out for 90 minutes, commute was 50 minutes, usually my commute is roughly 1 hour longer.

Why I never live in southern CA. Beautiful place too many people.

it seems people only move here, nobody moves away from here. it's a trap

Panda kind of sounds like me, except I was about 150 pounds in 2010, and three years later, I'm up to 192! Doc says I need to lose at least 25 pounds, but the weight is not budging...but bulging, lol!

Anyways, since I have moved, I live an hour from work. Therefore, by the time I work a full day and then have to drive an hour home, I'm tired. Plus, my wife insists on having dinner as soon as I get home. If I wait the hour after eating to do my workout, then it's 8pm. We go to bed around 9! I've tried working out in the morning, and I am NOT a morning person. I just seem to do better working out in the evenings. So, I feel like I can't stick with an exercise program right now.

We have been trying to eat healthier, but my weight was actually up this morning after eating super healthy yesterday, lol! I feel like I'm never going to get this weight off!

from what i've been reading on health/fitness/exercise forums, try eating less than you usually do (even if you're eating the same foods). dirtbag gave great advice when he said to track your calories.
