My first Blog
ok so, i have been working out for about three weeks straight now, i dont think i have ever gone that long religiously. Anyway i just started working out twice a day just this week. i get up at 7am i usually will do cardio for the first hour and then i will lift. And then after work i go again at 7pm and do another 30-45 min cardio session. and it has been good. but it is really hard to stay motivated expecailly in the morning to get up and of course after work i just want to go home and rest. but i am determined to look the way i want to look and get into it before school starts again in august. The hardest thing for me is my diet i have been trying to eat right but sometimes i will cheat a little. i usually will eat a protien shake in the morning (rocky road my fav.) than i will eat maybe an orange at 10 am or a bowl of cereal 2% milk(dont know if thats good). Then for lunch i will have a salad and chicken fat free ranch dressing (dont know about that either) at 5pm another orange or something. i eat another salad with chicken. so i dont know if this is ok but its better than what i used to eat. if anyone has any advise for me i would really appritiate it.

Hey what’s going on Felicia? Everything you’re eating seems ok except for the ranch dressing. Have you ever tried like a vinegrette? or italian dressing? It might not taste good at first, but once you get into the rhythm of eating it, you will not be bothered by it. Also, how about a protein bar? Ever tried any? Yea some of them don’t taste good but there’s this MetRx bar, chocolate chip, smores and another one. The cheating, you can try to cut it down to one day. It’s hard but it works. Good luck!

Your routine (exercise wise seems pretty solid) I am not sure I would do 2 a day cardio sessions, but that is me. Your diet seems really low cal, which is fine, but I am just wondering of you are getting all the nutrients you need throughout the day there. Do you take any type of a multi vitamin to help with that? I think you have a good start here and to be honest a very nice figure so I am sure that you will see your results begin to show very soon with your workout routine. Good luck!

O.k. so I don’t know what happened to the comment I left for you before…sorry about that, but I think I covered everything in my blog so do check that out! As far as what you have going on…I think you have the right idea. As far as what to eat my blog indicates some websites where you can find out what your recommended daily caloric intake should be…it doesn’t seem to me like you are eating enough based on your activity level but find out for yourself and then supplement her and there with protein shakes or bars…also as far as your aerobic training I encourage you to try HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training (in my blog and also you can search it on bb.com)! It’s all the rave in the personal training industry…I read about it all the time. But still let me know if you have any questions…you didn’t really mention much about your lifting regimen so I will leave it to you to ask specifics…once I get my website up it should hopefully lay things out really clearly! Best wishes and stay with it!

you’re working hard but be sure not to overtrain that can be counter-productive
