August 18th: Started my journey to a better and healthier living. Lost some weight. Gained muscular strength. Ate healther foods. Got rid of friends who smoke and do drugs. My legs are feeling like unbreakable steel. I’m finally happy that I can do one-leg squats. I’m taking my time and patience to transforming my life. I’m accepting my progress and really appreciating what I earned so far. My diet is just good but can get better. Eating more has become a challenge.  A challenge I oftentimes have trouble with. I don’t eat enough protien and carbs. I haven’t decided if supplements is for me. Should I or not? I don’t think so. Eating natural foods taste better. I just wanna grow man.

I’m tired of searching and finding for things I can’t find at the end of the day or hour, so I’m reaching out to you, YES YOU!   Now, what would happen if I or um er, a "friend", would to eat less carb than he needs and still continues with his/her cardio(5days a week) and still doesn’t feel sick nor weak after the run? Is it ideal to eat less carb than your bodyweight needs? And what would be the ideal grams per bodyweight for carb intake? (fat loss diet.) Talk to me BB’s.

Love your body.

So I started my weightlifting routines today at 11am. I’M FRIGGIN’ DRAINED. I did not anticipate the fatigue that I was about to have. It really hit me hard after my last set of workout. However, this will not discourage me at all. I set my goal and I intend on completing it. That’s the end of it. Anyway, I started with my chest, continued on to my delts and finished it off with squats…er, barely did 1 rep of squats. My knee joints weren’t haven’t a load of 70lbs or 2lbs on them. So I decided to wait until my left knee healed from the swelling I’ve gotten over the weeken.  And ofcourse, I started my workout with 30mins of cardio, running around in the gym’s circular track. I love my cardio, with , ofcourse, my ipod shuffle. That’s all folks. Love your body.

After a weekend of searching and reading nutrition and diets, I constructed a meal plan for myself. Complex carbs: check. Protein: check. and ‘good’ fats: check. I have my daily calorie intake to make my body function well along with my workout and my general activities. Boy, I’m excited for myself. One small step for a man, one giant leap to a healthy lifestyle. I hope.

So I’ve realized that what I eat is very important to my desired goal of getting and maintaining a lean sexy body. I have just finished reading an article about carbs, the good and the bad kinds.  I have some grocery shopping to do , lol. Whole grain,  vegies, fruits.  No white bread and the kinds, tv dinners.  I have to emphasis on the greens I think and make it a habit to have them for my lunch. As for my protiens, well, they seem to be very simple. I have to consume more fish and chicken, and occasionally I’ll indulge in ribs and beef. Now, I’ll have to look into my fat. Perhaps I should think about flax oil. Need to do my readings. Until then, keep eating healthy guys and dolls.
