Experiment over.. result
So i get asked all the time about how i get my abs to look the way they do and i always say the obvious, lots of hard work. but i also stress a clean diet and cardio. These are more important than most people think but some just wont have it. they get mad they they work day in and day out til they want to puke doing ab exercises but still they can see any change… hence my point. DIET and CARDIO…. my experiment took me to a point i really didnt want to go to but it is what it is. I stopped doing cardio everyday and i ate like a meathead. lol. I ate still kinda ok but not as strict as i did when i had fantabulous abs, lol. And i will admit this didnt start as an experiment but after a month of severe depression due to it being winter (SADD), i made it into one. I knew i wasnt going to be able to kick it because the depression was so insane but i let it carry me away and all i did was lift once a day and sleep the rest of the day. Lazy ass life style let me tell you. It did take a while to lose the tone but once i did i started to look worse everyday…. and to the real point of my babbling story. cardio is not only good for your heart it eliminates body fat and makes the abs … well "pop". and diet, well thats a no brainer. I was undoing all my hard work that i did in the A.M. workouts by eating like a retard all day and esp at night. One thing i learned is that when i woke up in the morning i was pissed at myself for overeating at night so i would kill myself at the gym and then restrict my eating during the day but when i woke up in the middle of the night i was starving and i would carve and yes eat everything i could get my hands on. It was horrible. However, i got to a point earlier this week where i looked in the mirror and said " eww, what have you done". I put all my depressing issues behind me and actually well im ignoring them but i got back on the damn horse and found a perfect routine, and ive been riding that all week. Cardio is back and my diet is the same everyday… boring, insane, or rediculous you can call it what you like… but it works… for ME. and to ME consistancy is key. I’m not eating or training to better anyone else, im bettering me. what works for me works for me. i tell people that all the time. find what works, and then stick to it like nobody’s business. Maybes its just me but once things change, all hell breaks loose. Yes, i do have OCD and minor kinks in my plans ruin my day and are hard to deal with like the other day when my mom made my sister drive my sister to work b/c it was too cold for her to walk. it set me an hr behind my regular schedule and everything was so uncomfortable all day. and on and on i could go. but if you get nothing else out of this, get this point : cardio and diet are just important as the actual ab exercise you do. and there you have it. lol…
