My diet
May 31, 2009I appreciate everyone’s comments and compliments about the way I look but please do not ask me what kind of diet I am to look like this. Obviously I am getting ready for a competition so I am cutting. If you are not competing my "kind of diet" is not adviced. Focuse on clean eating and exercise. There are no shortcuts. There is no magic pill. There is something called busting your ass your ass in the gym, eating right, and most all, DEDICATION and CONSISTENCY. How bad do you want it? Most people want my results but they are not willing to put the work into it. They want to wake up and *poof* you look GOOD! It’s not going to happen! Everything I have achieved over the last 5 months have been nothing more than endless hours of sweat and pain. While everyone at work was eating cake, chips and dip, pizza, all kinds of fattening meats I would bring my meals in to work every single day and I would sit at the same table and eat them. While they would all crack jokes about my "vegetables, or plain chicken" they wondered why they couldn’t see the results I was seeing. But was anyone giving up on those unhealthy lunches? Was anyone waking up at 4 am to go the gym before work?
So when I say it does not happen over night or there are no shortcuts, believe me. I was overweight for 6 years and tried (unsuccesfully) many shortcuts. It wasn’t until last year that I learned the right way to do it. Eating right and exercising every day. Don’t think just because you workout you can eat all you want. All the hard work you put in the gym will be out the window. I thought I could eat all I wanted because I had lost 50 lbs and was in the gym everyday. Well, I ended up with 30 of those 50 lbs the beginning of this year as you can see in my pictures.
For everyone out there asking me for advice, I wish I had the time to reply to everyone. I am no subject matter expert, but I must be doing something right. I want to help everyone, I was there, and I know exactly what it feels like. I will do my best to give out tips and encouragement to all. But if you are really serious about making a change, I hope what you are reading, if you even made it this far, touched you in some way.
Remember, there are no shortcuts! And the biggest one, BABY STEPS! You may not be seeing results as fast as I am, or someone else is, but as long as you are making progress, it is all that matters. It’s all about being a healthier, better you! You don’t have to lose 10 lbs in a week, but if you lose 10 lbs in 3 months, you are doing something right.
Stay with it, be consistent, be dedicated. Good things come to those who work hard. If you need any personal advice feel free to email me. I will do my best to reply.
How bad do YOU want it?
