No Pizza for me! No Thank you!
Started the Body For Life program this week. It is very different than my usual routine and weight loss program of the past 8 months. With this program I use increasing weight with decreasing reps, upper body on one day then a cardio only day followed by lower body on the next. Seems good and structured. Diet plan seems ok also. I can even eat a baked potato and wheat bread. Haven’t had either of those in months. Dont think I want them anyway.
Since I am only 5/9 and stocky, I still have to lose 30 and get down to 170 before obtaining the results that I want to achieve. A lot of people my height have the muscles that they want and they weigh between 170 and 190. Thats a good guideline for me to follow.
My weight loss has slowed down. I am not losing 2-3 pounds each week as I did in the past- thats why I changed my workout program. I want to lose more bodyfat and build muscle before the changes I want can be seen.
Since starting BFL I do feel a difference but I dont think that I am doing enough. I am following it to the letter and may incorporate my cardio into it every day instead of every other day.
I am not looking for a fast and easy solution. I gained this weight one pound at a time and I will lose this weight one pound at a time. Good things take time and I am learning to be patient. I am a hell of a lot better off than I was 8 months ago, and in 3 months I will be better off then I am today- it just takes time and effort.
Today I am off from work after a 12 day stretch. Actually got 8 hours sleep and am dragging from a killer leg workout last nite. This is my only day off until next week. I am glad that I am off because they are having a big pizza party at work today. I probably wouldnt have had any but Its tough to sit there and eat boiled chicken breast, egg whites and broccolli when surrounded by the 20 pizzas that were ordered from Dominos. The aroma alone from all of those pizzas would have been unbearable. LOL
Intense cardio and Weigh day today. I hope that the numbers are good if not- so what! tomorow is another day.
Will give this program a shot for a few weeks.
Wish me luck!
