INSIDE THE MIND OF BOSSCHIK247

OMG! I am so hurting.  I have been trying to keep the intensity level up in my training which means I am do little rest between set of various exercises.  I have done two workouts like this so far and I can tell you it’s like I haven’t even been working out for the last couple of years.  I like this type of training though, but until I get use to it I may need to schedule more rest days I feel drained.  The muscle pain did not start to hit me until 10 AM this morning and I just know that it will be getting worse as the day progresses.  But for the most part I can’t wait to get back in the gym tonight to hit those legs hard.

I ain’t even gonna lie.  I cheated last night!  Fridays are my usual cheat days, but yesterday I just couldn’t resist the chicken wings, various varieties.  Now nothing is wrong with a little cheat now and then, but I can tell you after eating really clean and drinking a ton of water for the last three weeks a  I know that humans are not made to thrive on junk food. You just can not constantly eat like that and think you are going to be "da shit"  I have finally found that out.  So I was throughly enjoying my cluck clucks when I realized that my diet has to always be in the forfront of my mind.  I must remain mindful or else it can all go downhill fast.  So I finish the wings, no doubt I also had the regualar ranch and bluecheese to go with them, I proceed to mess with the cookie dough I bought earlier for my daughter.  That’s when  the stomach started hurting and I knew I had to stop.  At that point I was like "O.K you messed up just a little bit more than you anticipated-STOP IT NOW!"  So I did.  I drank water the rest of the night.  I vowed to pack my lunch for work and just keep it pimpin…So I am happy to report I am back on track.  Protein shake this morning. Apple for my snack, Sandwich on wheat, tuna pack, two more protein shakes and some chicken or fish this evening.  I just can’t let go of the progress that is starting to happen at a fairly rapid pace.  I can’t wait.  I am hitting the gym tonight to work it all out.  Those wings will there (until next time) but those damn cookies have got to go.  Do I hear a protein shake calling my name….

Peace.

So I have set two mini goals for this week.  I am looking to turn them more into habits than anything.  First is to drink at least 1 gallon of water a day.  I am hoping the extra water will facilitate in the weight loss.  I have started off good so far. I am on #4 of the 6.4 20oz bottles I have to drink.  My second goal is to get at least 8 hours of sleep these next 5 days.  I must say I am getting pretty gung ho about getting my shit together.  Everything that I have been trying to implement over the last couple of weeks are turning out to be not so demanding after all.  Yes, sometimes I cheat, but it is usually on a specified day and I don’t go overboard becuase I don’t want to undo everything that I have trained for. 

Ohh!  I also started taking a creatine mix for pre-workout (it is on my supplements used area on Bodyspace).  I got the mix becuase I figure I can get the carbs and creatine in all at once.  I am looking forward to seeing how this affects my training stamina.  I think I will also get the pure creatine monohydrate and stop the mix until I can saturate my muscles.  I am begining to become a supplement junky!  Usally I am looking at shoes, but now its like "What kind of supplement should I be taking!"  I have ran out of whey protien until I get paid this week. Damn three days without-what’s a girl to do?

So just an update on the progress…..My diet has been on point for the last week.  I plan out for the day what I will eat, so it is easy to resist the donuts @ work. I don’t eat after 8 unless I am really hungry and then its just a 1/2 cup of oatmeal.  I have been getting to the gym consistenly and have convinced my co-worker to rejoin our gym-she wants to be fabulous too!  I am basically getting use to the fact that tihis is how a human is suppose to eat, not to fill yourself with crap allday and night.  Went to Walmart the other day and I really wanted some Cheezits. I prayed for the strenght to resist and it worked.  I just find that I have a new found excitement for what is to come.  I wake up  feeling just a little bit lighter  which is a good thing.  I knew this was not going to be easy and I am slowly adjusting to the diet requirements, but I have set many goals for myself and this should be no different, taking it day by day, somedays will be bad I know, but at least it won’t be a habit of filling myself with food that does nothing but add "spread".  Eventually I’ll incorporate a cheat day just don’t know when yet.  I don’t feel like I need it at this point.  It will be my secret weapon when things get rough in the resistence department.

Then my crazy azz friend signed my up for a 10K(apx. 6 miles) in November-WHAT! I am still trying to convince myself that it can be done. Give it a week, we’ll see.;) How do you go from not running to runing a 10K.  That is what I am having a problem with. But I always wanted to learn how to do a sustained run.  No doubt that I am not going to run the whole thing straight through but this may be a good way to drop some pounds while training for this.

Went to the gym tonight. Very Good workout. I probably won’t be sore in the next couple of days, but one of those are coming. Maybe Friday so I can recover by Monday and start all over again.  I need to start  adding some ab training in. I was doing Tae bo and that would break my azz down, but we’ll see if I go back to that.

So my short term goals for now is to keep my diet clean, continue to make my workouts consistent, start a running program and just focus.  This is something that I really want. I can lose this weight and get back to where I feel reallly fabulous about myself and life in general. I can do this!

Its 10:30PM, boy do I feel beat!  I started my eating plan today and although I did have one or two hunger pangs I will say that I can get use to this. I don’t know if it is my body going through some change but I have no energy left. I know that will change.  I’ll stick it out.  Went to the gym today was energized  becuase I knew that the diet had been on point today so I figure why not give a little extra.   I need to take my measurements again and weight myself to I can get a baseline, I can pretty tell what it is at this point.

What is motivating me to take on this challenge of tranformation.  For the most part, I think that there is a really spectacular body under this, the fact that I like fashion and clothing plays a big part.  My thought is that clothing looks best  as an acessory to a really great body.  There is just a certain way that a fit body looks in nice clothing you know how those fine ass manegquin are looking these days LOL- I am like when did the manequin get finer than me!.    Then there is the fact that I really envision living my life a certain way and it does not involve tucking in "dunlaps" or "jellyrolls" or whatever you wanna call them.  At this point I am not too far gone in my head that I can’t shake back.  Then of course my health, I want to live a long healthy life and be able to enjoy all that it brings, as I age I don’t want people to be able to tell how old I really am.  I’ll just stay perpetually young (like on "Death Becomes Her" on second thought never mine!)  But you get the point  I got’s ta be FLY!!!!On down the line to the fact I know life is hard enought without carring around an extra  "little man"  that how I think of the extra pounds as a little person strapped to my back all day (how disturbing is that! I even got a name for it…DeyDey pronounce "DayDay").  More on my DeyDey later…

2 days Later…….

So I must say that I gotten throught the first two days with no big mess up’s. Today is my third and so far so good, althoug I had to switch things up just a litte.  As suggested I added a piece of fruit (geen apple) to my preworkout snack. My energy is up and I already feel like I am in the process of slimming down.  That gets me excited.  Yesterday my boyfreind stopped at Popeye’s and although he teased me about wanted the chicken (I did smell great) I knew what giving into that urge would do to my progress. So I just thought of other things like my lifting routine, am I doing enough cardio.   So I really feel good, I try to be as patient as possible becuase I know this is going to work, I just need to give it time to work its magic.  So I will keep on keeping on in the meantime.

Peace.

So I have finally wrapped my head around the fact that if I don’t get the eating together the body will not follow.  I have been knowing this for a long time, but damn why can’t I just defy evolution!  So I have worked out an eating plan and that is what I am going to stick with come hell or high water.  When should I schedule a cheat meal…..Please do I have to think of that too.  I need to up my water intake (bathroom here I come….oooh something else to look forward to the endless runs to the bathroom in the middle of work.)  Let me stop, the sarcasm is ooooozing  LOL.  This is something I really want so I am willing to put all the bullshit aside and get down to the real business.  So I will get the eating together, cuz I have been working out for years and I know that there is something really spectacular underneath it all.   Yes I do have something to prove, let me not kid myself……

So I went to the store yesterday to stock up on my meal plan basics. Wanna know what was in my basket (besides the Lucky Charms my boyfriend snuck in-I promise not to even look thier way)?  Head of Roman, Sweet Potatos, Chicken Tenderloins, Tilapia, Eggs, Protein Powder, Oatmeal, Balsamic Viniagrett (did I spell that right?)   So here is my eating plan so far.  Feel free to make comments:

Meal #1:7AM

4 egg whites,1/2 cup spinach,1/2 cup plain oatmeal

Meal#2:10AM

1 Chicken breast, 1 scoop protien shake

Meal#3:12AM

1 Chicken breast, 1cup Romaine Salad, 2Tbs Vinaigrette, 1 small sweet potato

Meal#4:3PM

1Scoop Protein shake

Meal #5:6PM

4oz Tilapia, 1 cup Romaine, 2tbs Viniagrette

Meal #6:8PM (After Workout)

2 scoop protein shake,1 pc wheat toast w sugar free preserve

So, this is what my eating will entail, I plan on switching things around a little when I get bored but basically this is it until the weight comes off. 

I am on meal #3 for the day and although I got enough sleep lastnight I am feeling a little sluggish.  I guess my body is going through a change.GOOD.

Peace,

So I have been on here for that last couple of months just feeling my way around making friends and everything else that goes along with ‘Bodybuilding.com’.  I still have not posted any pics yet, I don’t know what is stopping me.  Maybe it’s putting myself out there for the world to see. Or it can be the fact that I have progress pics on my ‘Crackberry’ but don’t know how to download them onto my laptop.  Needless to say the excuses need to stop.  I know that this whole transformation thing is not going to be any easy one and there will be alot of sacrifice involved.  But I am ready!!!!  So i’ll make a promise to myself to post that "before" pic for the world to see and just move on from there.

I am also getting my diet together.  I am eating cleaner than ever, but I can do better.  My workouts for the most part are consistent but when I fall off it’s for like 10 days at a time! So my goal is to not go more than three days without a workout.  I just don’t seem motivated.  Sometimes I snap crazy when my cloths start to get tight and I realize that it will only get worse if I don’t do something. 

So I will update this frequently, stay tuned….
