wow 170 not good

[armorplated]

so lately ive been losing weight and finally figured out it was due to the fact that the food is totally unappealing to me anymore. so ive changed to a pushup/ pullup blitz routine. on day one i do 10 sets of pushups for a set number of reps/ then day two i do the same thing for pullups. im hoping this will put some of my weight back on. i am leaner than ive evr been and my run time has gone up almost a minute, but i really like looking atheltic, around 175-180, right now im 171. im also eating more basically if im hungry i eat something, a muffin, granola bar or drink some soy milk ( the so called cow milk here tries to assinate me through my stomach so i quit drinking that). so what do all you guys think....will it work, or will i only improve my endurance.
im not trying to start a debate but do want to know how everyone feels about it. oh and im not doing any DVR or DSR, so that should add a little flavor to the discussion.

I also should be home around turkey day so thats really exciting, but for some reason it seems like the closer we get to redeployment the more work there is to do, go figure.
i really miss communicating with all you guys sorry ive been awol lately ill try to make more time for the forum.

get up,get moving,GET FIT!!!

The leaner the better IF you are getting stronger or least maintaining your strength

Its great to eat healthy and sparsely, but do keep an eye on your training levels and food intake. Its safer to be healthy than to try and maintain some ultra-ripped physque - I speak from experience.

Don't be afraid to talk to your physican if you find you're really not into eating. Stress makes me nauseous, and I lose interest in food. Overtraining does the same thing.

Legendary martial artist and movie actor Ron Van Clief once wrote that there are two types of shape - maintanence shape, and peak shape. The first can be maintained (pardon the pun) indefinately. The second can only be maintained for a brief time. He learnt from bitter experience that trying to be ripped, strong and cardiovascularly superfit all the time is a poor idea. He suffered more injuries, loss of appetite and mentally burnt himself out trying to do that. NO-ONe, he argued, needs to be that fit all the time. The body is not designed that way.

Good to see you again!

Also, the heat could be part of it. One of the people I knew who went to desert storm still ate as much as he could, but lost close to 50 lb while there. I know that you didn't earlier -- but that could be part of the weight loss as well
