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…

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!

p.s. my pm work out tonight sucked cuz it was a 6pm, and everybody and thier ancestors was at the gym and i DESPISE waiting for machines… so i did what i could with my little patience, my midday cardio was awsome i had a pt gossip with me the whole hour i was on … it flew by …lol

it was so much easier in school cuz i had a routine and i could log on the train or in class, nowadays im doding paperwork in buildings while my meals are in the car thinking i would have been done by then…. =T

well im in happy a stage of my life is over… my diet and workout regime has become a no brainer i feel it almost as automatic as brething… i just do it… and my hunger is stablized around it… im starving every three hours!

i also found a new idol… i love this woman! she symbolizes what i feel like internally and what i want to achieve physically!!

now starting next week my life begins… im starting interviews!!..

" why do i have to go into the city to be able to have a choice in soy products or have a healthier range of food options??!!"

basically it is until now that this is becoming spread into the media… NYC ritzy areas = healthy supermarkets, all the rest of the borough = chips n dip n soda…

I promised myself this will all change starting today! getting back on track! Logging will begin once again with the carb cycling… today is obviously my first low day!

I’m upping my cardio to 2 hours a day! its time to lean out!

Sunday: one hour arc trainer

Monday: 40 mins arc trainer, went later on to the gym by my house to do weights, but i was so exhausted from finals i could not complete my training or even do it properly so i went home…

today is a new day!

well kiddos! keep it fit…

grr

i feel like the fact that i have stoped loggin everything and pre planning is the culprit for my steady weight…. well this is chaging soon… im in a challenge and i cant let my forgetfulness set me back

but i do have to say the vacation from not logging is quite nice! omg its such a burden when you have preplanned ur intake for the next day… but hey it works… ill enjoy my next two days of freedom!!
