I got WAY off track, since I last lost weight.. I gained it all back, due to just being plain ol' stupid. Everything came back: FAT, Weight.. Constant snacking on junk food.... STUPIDTY took over.
Why I Love It:
I Love lifting.. Even though I was one of those who expected results FAST, by doing the easy way out... AND I messed up big time... Now its back to DOING HARD WORK.
How I Stay Motivated:
I constantly browse through Bodyspace and looking at the transformations page for Females and seeing how they accomplished their goals..
BB Accomplishments:
I've actually shedded 4 inches around my waist, and feel great about that. However IT ALL CAME BACK! This will change.... eventually..
First - is to start drinking a gal of water a day
Second - working out 4-6 days a week
Third - develop a clean eating habit
Fourth - lose the darn fat that are hiding my muscles
Fifth - Compete.
Body goals - 8 to 10% body fat range, perhaps leaner.. depending on how it looks/feels. Reach a weight of around 125 with out looking way too lean. Accomplish at least a decent weight loss by my birthday in march.. That is about four months.. So perhaps around 160? or more.. Im going to bust my ass. I have to, Im a paramedic student and I need to be able to run around helping people without getting fatigued, and worn out to even do my damn job saving lives.
I made a tuna patty for lunch and it was so dang good. I actually just made it up. I used a can of tuna in water, drained; one whole egg; bit of Panko bread crumbs to bind the tuna together; mesqueite bbq seasoning; and parsley flakes. I mixed it all in and then had it in the fridge to set for...
lean ground turkey, egg whites, organic bison, spinach, berries, mushrooms, greek yogurt with whey mixed in, protein shakes, lean sirloin, natural penaut and almond butter, and nuts, oragic bison jerky - over and over and over again. is not cheap, but i NEVER eat out so it makes up the diff.
If you really want to lose weight and get into great shape I believe it is best to follow a proven program otherwise you may end up wasting your time & energy. I lost over 50 lb’s and went from 36 to 10% bodyfat and my wife (bodyspace: judimax) went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6 in only 12 weeks by following the Body for Life program. Push yourself, possibly out of your comfort zone and you may be amazed at the results and how fast they happen. It will be well worth the effort.
Take your shakes 3 times a day if you want. Doesnt matter if you are working out or not. I work out late, about 7-730 pm til sometimes 9 pm. On weekends I go about noon.
I totally agree! We walk around wanting to be skinny and weak and then wonder why women are victims of assult. I think women with muscles will walk around looking like, "you mess with me buddy and I will kick your ass into next month" hahaaaaaa!
The problem is most women in magazines that we see are not moms, have had surgery or are sticks. How are we supposed to know how we can or cant look? All moms get are ads on changing diapers and cleaning toilets! Or recipes in Womans day magazines..whats with that?
Only by focusing on your goal and believing in yourself will you achieve the results you are looking for. I wish you much success and look forward to hearing how you are doing. Keep reaching for the highest branches and take time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. If there is anything that I can do to be of assistance feel free to give me a yell.
I know where you are coming from and I wish you much success in your quest to get fit. Combine weight lifting, some form of cardio and a good nutrition plan and you will be amazed at the changes and the speed at which they can occur. I used the Body for Life program and had great results you might want to give it a look-see.
Stay strong and believe in yourself and what you can accomplish. Give me a yell if you wish.
Good luck to you on your venture for the new you. It can be a hard road, but stick with it and you will be happy you did. If you fall off track, don't get frustrated. Consistencey is the key. Take care and Happy holidays!
