Eating clean
I’ve decided it’s time to change my eating and exercise habits. It’s time and I’m back on track again. I’ve cleaned up my diet, bodybuilding style. You know. Egg whites, lean proteins, oatmeal, rice, veggies, etc., every 2-3 hours and 5 or 6 meals a day. Trying to increase my water intake to a goal of 1/2 to 1 gallon per day. I’m trying to do cardio every day. I absolutely HATE cardio, so for right now I am limiting it to 20-25 minutes if I’m inside on the treadmill/elliptical/bike. I do interval training for cardio, keeping my HR at 65% - 90% of my max HR. I usually ride my bike 8 minutes to and from the gym and I’m walking the beach (1 1/2 hours down and back in the sand - it’s actually a pretty good workout). I do 3-5 weight workouts per week. Workout #1 is chest/tris. Workout #2 is back/bis. Workout #3 is Shoulders and legs. I do abs a few days a week. They’re not usually a problem for me, and as long as my body fat is lower, they come out pretty easily. So, I’m happy with my progress. Eating clean for 4 days and I’ve lost 2.5 pounds. I always love the first few days of cleaning up my diet, because I feel so much better. Anyway, my goal is to lose another 15 pounds of fat (I’ve lost a total of 9 pounds so far. I really want to keep my Lean Body weight around 110-115 lbs. I want to gain some upper body mass and, of course, lean out my lower body much more. I would like to maintain a BF% between 15% and 19%, and weight between 130-140. I’m on my way again!! Yeah.
