Keemo’s World

I’m hoping someone can post a comment and help me out. I’ve gotten my mass to where it should be. I’ve already started the ripping up workouts (i.e. light weight, high reps). My question is…. can someone give me tips on what kinds of foods to eat to get all cut up?! I know working out is only part of the solution.

THANKS!

So this is my first bodyblog. I was so overwhelmed with the changes that has been happening to my body that i don’t know where to begin to tell you guys what’s been running through my head. Should I talk about my non-belief in diets and belief in PROPER NUTRITION? Should I talk about consistency with working out? Or maybe I should talk about how body building changed my life for good? There are so many things to talk about and there seems so little time (well… I made it a point that if I’m not studying, I should be working. If I’m not working, I should be at the gym. If I’m not in the gym, I should be training with my soccer team).

Then I looked down my still in-progress gut and saw what I need to write about… these unsightly marks that run up and down my lower abdomen… some even run up my chest and under my arms. We all know what these are… CELLULITES. STRETCH MARKS. It’s the love mark of fat that scar your body indefinitely.

Why do I even want to write about something so gross? Simple… It’s there as a REMINDER. Now not everyone was born and raised with a well-toned body. If you’re one of the few and you don’t have stretch marks… you probably won’t understand what I’ll be talking about. However, if you’re like me… a person that’s from-flabs-to-abs type, then hear me out.

There are probably some type of medicinal cream or surgery that can be done to remove these unsightly lines but I honestly don’t want mine removed. It serves as a reminder of what I was before and something that I don’t want to regress to. A life of embarrassment and shopping at the XXXL department. A life wherein self-control was unheard of and that it is OKAY to eat Ben and Jerry’s ice cream JUST BECAUSE.

You know… it’s true. The more fat you lose (assuming you have stretch marks), the more pronounced these lines become. It’s like a shrunken balloon. All wrinkly and with a different color than the rest of your skin. But these are now a part of me whether I like it or not. These will be running up my abs, arms, and even butt. But for now, there is a difference. The skin is tight and the muscles are hard. And these lines PROVE THAT A FAT AVERAGE JOE TOOK CONTROL AND CHANGED HIS LIFE.

These are my battle scars. What are yours? (^_^)
