Musings of a Crazed Gym Rat!

O.k. I’ll admit it, I’m a hater, a FAT HATER and I’ve done pretty well so far, loosing close to 50 lbs without a trainer. However, recently I’ve stalled. Not from lack of mixing things up, or from hitting a plateau, but from a general lack of discipline in the diet area.  There are things I know to get my goals, but so many more questions:

- I know I have to eat clean and cut out alcohol.
- I know I have to watch portions

- I know I have to burn off more than I put into my mouth

- I know I should eat protein, carbs and good fats

- I know how to do all this, but it is not registering in my little pea-brain recently.
What I don’t know are a few things that have me stymied. If I want to loose more fat to look totally ripped, cut, shredded, uber-lean:

- Do I eat more carbs (veggies) than protein or is it the other way around?

- Do I do more cardio (currently about 30 min. a day) and less weight training (about 1 hour 4 - 5 times a week)?

- Do I continue the same weight training and do even more cardio?

- Do I take fat burners, currently I’m taking BCAA’s, CLA’s, Fish Oil, Vitamins, Calcium, Whey Protein Isolate (post workout)?

- Do I hide under a blanket with a bag of Doritos and give up?
As an aside, I have made a calculation which tells me that to get my BF percentage to under 15% I will need to weigh 122 lbs (a loss of another 7 to 10 lbs). I seem to have a mental block on this, its as though I am afraid to get that low as I am afraid I will get sick or look immanciated.  I really have to get past this mental issue and move on, I have weighed as low as 116 lbs in the past (decades ago) and although I had no muscle, I was still perfectly healthy.

Input from all you fabulous BS.com members would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.
If anyone can provide any input on this issue, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Kick the S*%@ out of Fat, people!
