Making Some Necessary Changes
I talked to my former trainer and he asked me what was the problem. When I said I needed to lose the butt, his response was, "you’ve dieted before…" I whined, "but I don’t want to be hungry:)," and I was reluctant to commit to another figure comp. b/c I didn’t want to give up certain foods. In fact I was very nonsensical about dieting, fantasizing that fat burners & cardio were enough to drop 10 lbs., but I’ve got to cut calories if I want to hit the stage again.
I realize calorie reduction requires a strong and made up mind and I’ve been able to limit my to 1500-1600 in the past 5 days and haven’t fainted. Additionally, I had to go back to keeping a food log that helps me monitor my calorie intake. I’m looking leaner already–at least to myself:)
Training is fine. I started riding my bike because I have knee pain so I can’t run. I also do the stair climber–it’s great for keeping the glutes high & tight.
BTW another gym member said I looked perfect–while I know it’s not true, it was a nice up beat way to end my training.
Happy lifting to all!
