Keke’s BodyBlog

Time is flying by!!! I only have today and tomorrow’s workout before the Ontario Naturals. Last night was my last back workout. This morning I got through the 60 mins on the Stairs easy breezy so I was happy about that. Tonight I train my chest and calves and finish off with one hour on the Stairs. Then tomorrow is Arm day, which I may do in the morning, so I have a relaxing eve of Cardio only. Then it’s time to rest up the body and get it prepped for Saturday. I’m really excited about heading up to Sudbury!! Should be loads of fun, and I’m going to make the most of it. 

I unfortunately don’t have much time today … what else is new huh! However, before I sign off, I wanted to share a few ‘weight loss mistakes’ that I think quite a few people make. Y’know, losing weight is not difficult; it just takes time and commitment. Set your goals, and strive to achieve them one minute at a time ….  First off, don’t try to lose too much to soon. Give yourself time and TAKE it! If you don’t, chances are you will fail at your goals; get discourages and then give up and most often than not fall off your track and actually gain more weight back than you started with. 

Try not to consume too much, or any carbs if possible, in the second half of your day. So, calculate your ‘awake time’. Figure out where your half mark is and focus on consuming all your carbs on the top part of your day.  Take the time to cook and prepare your meals. This is SOOOO important. It’s the only way to be certain of what is going into your mouth. Plan plan plan …. Whether at the top of your week, say Sunday, or the night prior. Bottom line … always work at least one day in advance. Always have your meals ready to go. That is very important. This way, it eliminates the whole ‘oh I’m tired and don’t feel like cooking so let me just eat this ….’ That’s when you end up eating things that you shouldn’t be. 

Exercise regularly …. Very important!! You need to exercise in order to burn fat. Make sure to have a good weight training program complimented with a good cardio regime. I love exercising in the morning on an empty stomach. I just feel I burn more and get ahead of the game that way. Make sure to weight train … this helps to increase your metabolism and will thereby burn more fat. Lastly, switch up your program every few weeks. Don’t allow your body to get used to any one thing.  At the end of it all … just don’t give up! If you fall off track for a minute, just turn that around in the next minute and keep on trekking. Set realistic goals, blog, keep record and give yourself time! Always remember, it took time for the weight to add on, so it will take time to subtract it. Forget the scale … its garbage!!! Concentrate on how you look and feel. Feel good, look good! Judge yourself by how your clothes start to feel. 

Most of all …. HAVE FUN!!!  Have a great day and see you back here tomorrow … 

Cheers,  Nke
