Down with the fat!!
Took the last several days off from here to spend some much needed family time. I cooked a HUGE cajun easter dinner..Mmm. You know, Gumbo, Lousiana Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Sweet Potato and Corn Pudding, Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Bread and some spicy Green beans…YUM. Needless to say I did not count calories that day!
OK. So I am in what, week four now and this extra fat is absolutely killing me. I am definately getting stronger, but come on. My weight is around what I want it to be..115lbs. Which is good, but minus the muffin tops. I, as far as I know, am doing everything right. I am doing intense cardio 3-4 times a week for about 30 minutes. I even do a little jump rope between strength sets. Strength training 5-6 days a week. I am keeping my caloric intake at around 2100 3 days than 1600-1800 for 1. My protein/carbs/fats are fairly close to my initial 40/40/20 plan. I am getting 7-8 hours of sleep everynight. So what the heck gives? Is there something I am missing? Should I be more patient with this current plan? I know it’s possible, I see these success stories where people who started off way worse than me end up in competitions AND WON. I am very proud of the fact that I have been able to stop taking fat burners. I think that they have a very negative effect on my sense of peace. So, I truly don’t want to have to go there. I guess I should be patient and just see where this takes me. I am affraid of training too hard and suffering burn out, although when I don’t train hard I feel like a damn slacker. Coming on here definately helps to motivate me.
If I had a genie in a bottle right now I would wish for 1. A Freakin awesome training partner with the same goals as me who would kick me ass in gear and challenge me to clean up my routine better. 2. To figure out the perfect workout for blasting these damn muffins off. 3. Bigger calfs.
Anyone got a genie in a bottle?
ne se mêler de rien!
