Hi there. I saw you said you want to reduce your consumption to try and get in shape. Why not use weed to your advantage? It may not work for everyone but weed actually helped me to get into shape. I was diagnosed with depression back in 2006 while I was in the military. I had started gaining weight from it(somehow in my mind I thought if I got really fat I could get out of the service) and I was battling suicidal thoughts. They put me on an antidepressant (I think it was zoloft, but I'm not sure of that) and then I just blew up. I got up to 270 lbs (when I joined I was about 165). When I found out I was going to be discharged I weened myself off my meds and was off them about a week before I was back home.

So there I was, 270 lbs, feeling better because I was a free man again, but in desperate need of losing weight. First thing I did when I got home was start smoking with my friends again (which I feel helped saved me from depression). I had to change my diet and I began exercising. I was worried about working out high because I thought I would hurt myself, but that never happened. Weed would make me focus when I needed to (like when lifting weights), and was excellent for cardio (you can zone out much easier).

I recommend trying it sometime as long as you can stay in control. Get on a elliptical while high and just go to town. If you disconnect your mind from what your body is doing you won't get tired nearly as fast and you will notice you are going faster too. Control your breathing too. If you are breathing fast you get tired fast. Nice slow breathes through the nose. It may take some practice and it might be a little scary at first doing it in front of other people, but no one will really pay close enough attention to know. A few times people have called me out on it but in each case they laughed about it and said how they do it too sometimes.

If you can join a 24 hour gym I would go with that. I would smoke about 11 at night go into the gym and do 1.5 hours of cardio broken by 3 sets of weight training, lunges, or whatever else I wanted to do. There were barely ever any other people in there. Also bring an ipod with your music whenever you workout. It will make a huge difference also.

I was down to 155 lbs in exactly 1 year and a day from the time I started to exercise (I was focusing on cardio and didn't really push myself to gain muscle mass). Then over the following year I went up to about 185 by putting on muscle. Since then I've hovered right around 170 (I haven't been working out due to an elbow injury I got while trying new exercises without the correct form).

I would sometimes use the caps for this too. I might hit my single hitter and pop 2 caps just before going to the gym. That way I would have a mild buzz walking in, when I would most likely be talking to people, and by the time it wore off the caps would start kicking in. I find working out speeds up the onset of them also. The feeling of the caps is totally different for working out also. The first time I tried was a little weird. My body felt kinda mushy while doing cardio.

Man that was long winded. I guess it's not really related to the caps, other than the fact that I would take them before working out sometimes, but I thought this could help you or someone else out. Good luck.
