NEGRA0077’s BodyBlog

I just checked my bodyfat percentage this morning—it displayed 18.5! Yay! It feels good in a bittersweet kinda way;  I know, I know, it’s not alot, but this is the lowest I have been at the weight that I am right now, which is 132 lbs.  Not to mention the fact that my weight keeps fluctuating.  What is going to be the difficult task is keeping it off and lowering it a bit further.  I’m hoping to get to atleast a 10-15% bodyfat range (is that even realistic for me??? we’ll find out).  So if anyone has ANY suggestions on how to further lower my bodyfat, please—SHARING IS CARING! lolzzz… So far this website and the support from the members here has helped me so much, but you know WE ARE our worst critics when it comes to ourselves.  I’m seeing my transformation, but I guess I want MORE. 

Do I need more/less cardio??? I’m up to 45min a day, 7 days a week, be it on the treadmill, track, bike, power walking, or a combination of either. But usually I walk on the weekends since I cant get access to a gym on sat/sun.  Then I weight train 3 days a week every other day (spaced out basically–mon/wed/fri). 

How much carbs exactly should i remove from my diet??  i have my 1/2cup oatmeal with water(no milk, please!), whey protein, cinnamon, almonds, wheat germ. Snack may be either a spoon of cashew butter (which i am so fond of!),or a handful of raw almonds or an omega-3 trail mix i get from the local supermarket.  Lunch can be either a can of chunk light tuna with a serving spoon of brown rice, you get the idea. Snack 2 would be maybe another spoon of cashew butter, or a green apple with 2 small rectangular slices of reduced fat cheese(which has 1g of carb btw), or a 1/2 cup of plain light cottage cheese.  Dinner can be either tilapia, or grilled chicken,etc.  My portioning for each meal is the palm of my hand of whatever is in my plate (ie-chicken, brown rice, green salad w/balsamic vinegar). I refrain from using salt, and use everything with “low sodium” listed on the label.   I drink about 2 12oz servings of water with every meal.  I know I’m taking in alot of protein, so, as rapper Busta Rhymes woulda said years ago,”Wat da dealy yo??” (in other words, wtf is goin on, what gives???)  Guess its all a matter of time, all about trial and error, cause and effect…
