It’s been two years since I was really actively on a workout regimen and diet… and I’ve gained it all back; however, in the last two weeks I have managed to work my weight down 10 lbs by doing more positive, healthy t hings.  I can’t afford a gym membership right now, so it’s a bit difficult to do any weight training… I am just doing 30 min of cardio almost everyday.  I am going to organize a plan that fits both a new way of thinking as well as a good workout and see how it goes.  I can’t wait to look great and even better than before!

ok so… the first 2 days were great, I actually feel my work out.  I feel great and hopefully it’s going to make a great improvement on my body I looks like im gaining more muscle… Hopefully by next week I’ll be under 170 again

So, I started a new routine!

day 1:

bench press 4×12 @ 55lbs

Flat DB press 4×12 @ 20lbs each

Bent over rows 4×12 (each arm) @ 20 lbs each

Dips x5

Day 2

Squats

Leg Curls

Standing Calf Raises

stiff deadlifts *i added this to the routine, but I dunno if i should have it on this day*

Day 3

Close grip bench press

DB front shoulder press

Incline Bench Press

DB shoulder press

Skullcrushers

Day 4

Deadlift

Leg curls

Lunges

Lat Pulldowns

Standing Calf raises

I am feeling good.  Day 1 was great yesterday, I feel it after not having felt anything for a while WOOO i feel rejuvenated and I hope to results in a few weeks… i’ll post pictures then!

My brithday was this weekend… so my weekend was crazy bad.  I also got a cold or my allergies started acting up, so no gym until i am better.  However, I plan to eat extremely clean this week and just get everything back under control.  I may hit up the gym near the end of the week if I am completely better.  I just think it’s better not to risk my health and getting better…  till next time

So, I upped my cals from 1200 to 1400, and OMG has it made a difference in how i feel!  I feel amazing, never hungry… great energy for my workouts.  I haven’t even had the real need or want to check the scale… ( i dont know if that is fear though).  I feel genuinely good!  I mean who knew 200 calories could make such a huge difference?!

im hoping to weigh in at 168-169 on Saturday morning… wish me luck!!!!! Tomorrow, I am going to hit the gym hard and make sure im strict on my diet… watch out… I’m hoping to be 165 by July 20 (my birthday) that’s my first goal… If I do that, I will have lost 20.6 lbs in 2 months…  then my new goal will be to be 160 by August 1st…

I am tired of not having rules and regulations to my diet… so here it goes… well, i just need them written…

I will consume approx < 120 grams of carbs a day.  I will attempt to consume 120-150 g of protein a day and < 30 grams of fat.  I will be eating 6 times a day, roughly every 2.5 hours.  No food or drink except water after 8 pm.  I will drink 80 oz of water.  No soda, low saturated fat, low sugar, high fiber.  1 cheat day a week - Saturday.

At least 3 of my meals must consist of REAL food.  I will have an after work out protein bar and a whey protein shake at night with a 1/2 serving of lowfat cottage cheese.  My meals will include protein, carbs, and minimal amounts of fat. 

my mood has gotten me in a pickle.  I feel so bleh and down in the dumps… cheating on my diet seems to have become a norm.  My weight is still the same, but I am hoping that the extra cardio sessions this week will be successfull and if they are I plan to keep them in my routine.  Since I drive to school now, a lot of my extra activity has been taken out of my daily routine.  I have to drive to school and to the gym when I had been walking there.  I was thinking of joining some intramural sports for the extra light activity… maybe volleyball.  I can’t really do it till fall though, so till then I am thinking about doing some recreational biking.

I also think I need to be focused and determined about being strict on my diet.  I am going to make saturday my "day off" instead of sunday since sunday will actually be easier to be on my diet.

Ok, so this week has been hell and my routine has been royally thrown off, so next week I am hoping that getting back on track will help me get out of this damn plateau

I do 6 days of some sort of cardio… usually 3 days hard 3 days light and then 3 days of a split lifting routine (ab-b-cb-b-ab) Upperbody… cardio… lower body… cardio… upper body cardio… then week 2 is lower body… cardio… upper body… cardio… lower body cardio…
