i like my …

So, in summary last summer i lost 17lbs, but i did it some what obsessively. I did tremendous amount of cardio (am and pm) and lifting wieghts. Now at my thinnest (157lbs) i had no boobs (size b or so) i liked my c cups. and my ass disappeared! After a summer of fun, i drifted away from the gym and did not eat as clean as i used to. i gained 14 lbs over the year i took off, I am happy to say that i got both my boobs and butt back. and I am comfortable with how my body looks now (I am no where trying to acheive the media induced image of perfection anymore, I have come to realize that too thin is not a sexy look for me at all!) with the exception of my arms and stomach. I want my leaner stomach of a year ago, but i dont want to pay the price as I did. so here’s my strategy and tell me if it makes some sense and or logic or i am all wrong:

Cardio: limited to 5 mins warming up. and the occasional 25 laps at the pool

Weights: i am trying to work out alot more my glute to build the muscle, this way if fat is lost ill still keep the shape. I am also concentrating on my abs. Alternating workouts between legs/glutes and abs. thats just the main muscle group during that session but in between exercises i switch body parts (bi, tris, back chest ect.) so its a full body every workout just with a concentration on an area.

diet: here’s where i dont know what to do mainly, i am thinking that maybe if i eat well before and after the work out i should be good and eat intelligently ( different that clean, since i dont want to cut out carbs so the fat loss isnt as fast) and increase my cheat meals to 3 a week. I know that maybe this way the results will take much longer.

help…

i find it funny how the title of my last post was something about laziness… one year after summer 07" when the times at the beach were numerous and were indirectly proportional to my logging and my gym visits.

NOW… schools is over… have a new job… new apartment… and I am ready to comitt. Now i have to admitt that i did keep the eating somewaht in check since i stopped frequenting the gym, i only gained 10 lbs (i did lose muscle tho) in the year i was away (which is nothing i can lose that in april). Now im back in full throttle!

Wed night was my first night back at the gym and I tried doing my old routine and it kicked my butt. I am too sore for comfort!
