Hi all

I am feeling very demotivated , don’t know why , but the need to go to gym is just not there.
I stoped using a personal trainer, the costs were getting high.

I need to get back to be motivated !

I have made good gaines on muscle and size , but just cant shake off the xtra fat around my belly , seem to lose it everywhere els .

Anyway I will stop moaning , and just get on with it !!!!!!

Okay I have entered a 12 week , see how good you can look competitions. I know all the over weight people so it every year , but this is my first and only try at this , and I am going 2 look good after the 12 weeks are up !

The training in the gym is not as tough as keeping to my diet , I think eating clean is one of the hardest things to do, and also one of the most important. Well I have kept it clean for two weeks now , and I am going to try to keep it that way all through the 12 weeks , 72 days left………

But I am going to do a lifestyle change , I want to eat clean, I want to look good !!! I never had a sixpack and that is one of my dreams , just to look at my belly and say damn , you got a sixpack !!

Also the hard part is comming in Feb , where I am going on holiday with my Family , and you all know what that means , eating and party and and , but not this time , eating clean , keeping to water , and having fun with Fam. I have already found out where the local gym is , and going make a plan to get in the gym on holiday and also go for fat burning on the beach

Pls let me know if you have any tips for holiday training

Well it has been a while since my last post. The holiday has come and now it is gone again!

Like the Title says , Hard work starts now! I need to set some goals , and maybe log the better , as I have seen I start out well and then somewhere in the middle I lose motivation.

The big problem is the eating clean , I have to work on that , it is fine in the week but over weekends , well you get the picture.

Well here are my goals for the new year , lose body fat , I want to get 2 11% and I am now about 21% so is a long way to go

But hey , I Just have to stay with it

Happy new year all , and I hope you guys and gals have a good year and is filled with what your heart wants

I am working out with n personal trainer this last two months, I must say I think it is working with me , I have increased strength, and lost some Body Fat %

But the thing is , I am not losing what I should be losing , think my eating plan was not up 2 scratch.

So I changed it a bit.

This is what I am eating at this stage:

6:30:100g of uncooked Oats

6 Egg Whites 1 Full egg

10:00 Whey Protein Shake with one Green apple

13:00 Chiken Breast with one Cup of rice

16:00 Whey Protein Shake

19:00 Chiken Or Steak with greens , or salad

Whey protein shake before bed

I am using a multi vit , and Kre-Alkalyn

Wel I will keep you updated , but with the holiday season comming up I wil have to deal with a lot of temtation

Hi , This week has been a bit slower for me gym wise. My trainer is off sick so , this week I am working more on a bit of cardio , and targeting some of the parts of my body witch I think needs a bit more work.

I have been eating clean , and staying to my diet . I have also lost about 2kg or 4.4Lbs ….

I will wait for the fat % to see if I made any real gains , I feel my arms are getting bigger , and my legs are getting a bit more definition.

With the cardio , I am trying to stay in n heart rate off 115-134

Just to stay in fat burning , and not muscle burning

Ok well thats all from me for today !!

hi
I have been doing my own thing now for n while, not always sure if I am doing it the right or the wrong way.
So I went to see n personal trainer this week to help me out, on my eating and my training, and I must say I think this was the right move for me.

On my eating plan I am trying to get 160g of protein and 160g of carbs trough the day. Splitting the protein up in six 26g meals a day, and the carbs anytime of the day but not exceeding 160g.

I will be following n 3 day split, and the rest doing some cardio, and not exceeding n heart rate of 136
My body fat is at 22%, but it needs to be about 10%, so in the next three months I am going to get there

Thanks to all the people on bodyspace supporting me, it is great to have a support system like this

OK week 3 did not go well at all , I was on holiday for a week just to get away from it all , and spend some time in the gym , but the next thing you know there is not enough time for anything , got about 3 weight days in , and 2 cardio days .

Not getting down the weight as much as I thought I would with the cutting , but hope to see some loss , soon !!

Hey

I must say week 2 is not going as I had planned loads of things getting in the way of diet and training. I do not think this week was a bad one , just think I could have done better

I am planning to do loads more next week and will take n new photo , just to see if there is something to talk about !

I am just feeling burned out , but don’t think it is the cutting that is making me feel like this , think it is more work , and need to take a break !

Cheers !!!

Ok the first week of cutting is almost done, must say I this week I was feeling a lot of discomfort
But you have to get out of your comfort zone to make a deferens; I am also still playing with my diet
This is what I am doing at this stage, Pre workout No-Explode, post workout whey protein. Mid day protein shake, lunch chicken breast and broccoli, mid afternoon Protein shake dinner chicken/fish with greens.
I drink a lot of water , and can not use a fat burner because it dehydrates me so bad , and cant seem to get past that no mater how much water I drink !
My workout for cutting go’s like this (I am still new to this so let me know if there is room for improvement)
Monday: I do 10min of hard warming up with treadmill. I then do 3 chest exercise 3 shoulder 3 quad exercises. Doing 25 reps and not resting in between, and then warming down with 10min of light cardio
Tuesday: I do 10min of hard warming up with treadmill. Then 3 bicep 3 triceps 3 hamstring exercise , Doing 25 reps and not resting in between , and then warming down with 10min of light cardio
Wednesday: I do 10min of hard warming up with treadmill. Then 3 back 3 abs 3 calve exercise, Doing 25 reps and not resting in between, and then warming down with 10min of light cardio
Thursday & Friday: I try to do a bit more cardio and feel witch muscle needs a bit more attention
This is what I am doing so far, tips on improvement are Welkom; hope to see some change in the next month!
