Steroids isn’t the answer!

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

It really kills me that some people think that steroids is the only solution to have the body you want. I could careless what people think, but its nuts that some could that ignorant.
I know this is not a story about me but you know I have to share certain instances that happen in my life. Seriously, I wish people would really wise up to the proper health.

Ok so the other night I went to dinner with a friend to this really assume restaurant. Throughout the course of dinner, while he was chomping down on a huge greasy burger, fries and something else that was fried I can’t remember, he mentioned he wanted to get on steroids to lose weight and gain muscle. So, we all know me I have to stop and question that. He said that its the only way to truly gain the muscle he wants and lose fat. I kid you not this is what he said. I had to stop and look at him, and asked if he worked out, he said no. Well, hello how do you expect to make body changes if you aren’t committed to going to the gym or taking care of yourself. He then mentions that it is the way all of his friends that have done b/c you can’t get the body you want with out it. Hold Up Time Out.. WHAT?!? Are you kidding me? So, I said I have a TON of friends that have great bodies and a ton that I know have transformed their bodies without steroids so his information is false. I said you do you really think you can have the body of a God while you are sitting here eating that nasty fatty fried crap that you are eating and you sit on your ass at home and don’t go to the gym. How do you ever expect to change your body by doing that? He told me it’s rare that he eats like that. LOL. Liar.. I have seen him mow down and entire back of chips, drinks enough soft drinks to hydrate a small country, eat fast food like there a kitchen in your home was never invented, and never once eat one ounce of a vegetable or even fruit. This guy I could not help but laugh. I asked him how he thought I have lost all the weight I have lost without taking steroids and I sure as hell didn’t find a lamp with a magic genie. He said he knows I eat right and exercise but my way takes to long. Well, duh you can’t get a good body back over night,  you can’t get it by sitting sleeping till the late after noon b/c you drank all night and exercise only by walking from the couch the fridge. My way takes work and dedication, which is something he lacks. I kid you not I told him all of this and he still defended steroid use. I told him to knock himself out. But don’t expect the results he wants from sitting on his ass and eating like crap daily. I also mentioned this website and told him to try telling every guy on there with a great body that his is a liar and got his body only from steroids and see the kind of responses he gets. LOL.  I was like ya I guess thousands are liars and well I must be too lol.

Anyways.. This is my little rant for now.. I just had to tell someone lol.

Later.

Why laugh and not help?

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Yesterday, I was in the gym and doing my warm up cardio just before my weight training. Of course, like most people, I have that wandering eye, so I look around the gym at people while I do my thing. Well, I couldn’t help but notice these two guys cracking up. With that catching my attention, I had to turn the ipod off just so I can hear what the deal is. They only whispered, but I couldn’t help myself something told me to pay attention. As time went on Billy arrived so we began our routine. These two guys started again. Finally, I see one pointing so I look being nosey and there is this guy, working on shoulders rocking his body to pull massive weight. By no means am I a pro but I know better and I am sure you all can agree it sounds wrong, just as I see it was being done wrong. The guy breaks goes in to another room, those boys start talking about it. I just looked at them. I can’t believe they would laugh and point at someone doing it that wrong to a point he could injure himself and instead of helping him just laugh. It is unbelievable to me. So, the guy walked in the room to do another set, here he goes again, so me being the person I am I stop what I am doing I walk over and explained how to do it and show him the proper way. I told him I am not trying to be mean but he could really hurt himself. He thanked me, after that I walked over to the two guys who seem to think working out is a joke or something to do, and told them that no one is perfect and obviously the guy is new, like we all were at one point. I asked what harm is it to tell someone what they are doing wrong instead of making fun of them. It only takes a second. I said here you are thinking you are better than one person b/c he is knew and you have been in here a few times more. It really bothers me that people would act like that. I mean at one point we were all new and clueless but we learned we sought help but some don’t as they do the monkey see monkey do process. I wish someone would have pointed out to me years ago what I was doing wrong, b/c maybe I would have never given up and lost so many years working out b/c I didn’t see results and just ended with a ton of failure.  I wonder if the would have laughed if they saw this guy injure himself. Maybe its just me, but I don’t see it as funny, and I don’t see how people can be so cruel.

Anyways, I need to stop talking about this so I will end my blog here!!

A tid bit of updates on training & diet.

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

It’s been about a week since I actually posted anything, so I figured it was time for me to update on me a little bit.

Training - Working out is going great. Although I have not been going six days as planned, due to some scheduling conflicts with the gym and well my life really. I know not a good reason, but there are only so many hours in a day. I have been going four days a week. I have noticed I am a lot stronger, which feels great. Billy & I have formulated a new routine, which we will implement in to our workouts today. Well, it was more he than me. Once it’s finalized and I have a copy of that I will post that on here. It’s kind of hard putting things together, since we have different goals in mind. He wants to gain size I am trying to lose it. We are hoping that working out this close together he will find the weight I am losing. LOL!! If only it were that easy right?

Weight - I can’t tell you what I weigh really since my last log. We have decided to do weigh in every other Monday, so next weigh in is coming. Every weigh in is documented.

We have started notebooks that include daily workouts, and biweekly body stats to monitor our progress. I am going to be posting them on here, even if I am not were I want to be or have no real measures. But I do feel its important to own up to how I am really doing the good and the bad.

Diet - I have been working to keep eating healthy and it is a lot easier since I really have no cravings for anything. I really think it has to do with the lipo 6. I decided since I have worked hard to try a cheat meal and well it was so gross to me. Anything bad hurts my tummy and well I just don’t want it. I really can’t eat badly anymore. I tried a diet dr pepper and well it tasted like I was drinking metal. I have not had a soft drink in 3 months, and now well I don’t ever want one again. I will stick to my water, or propel water when I want something with flavor. I am trying to schedule my meals better to get 5 or 6 meals in, with two meals being whey protein. I think me making them 3 hours apart will really help, it’s hard to fit them in, but I am trying to increase them. I try to keep my calories to no more than 1300 a day, which I have been hitting that perfect or off by only 60 above or below.

So far things are going pretty well for me. I can’t wait till the next body log, b/c I can feel changes so I want to see what all the numbers say. I hope they are as good as I feel, but if not its ok to. I am running a marathon so I have time, it would be different if it were a sprint. So, we will just see how things continue. I am sure I will reach my finish line as long as I continue to work hard, eat right, and let nothing stand in my way.

Well, this is my blog for now. See ya!
