Hello all! It's been forever since I last blogged! Blame it on the slow ass computer that keeps popping up new viruses. Hopefully, I will purchase a new computer soon and be able to blog as much as possible. For now, I must resort to using my sister's laptop for my main source of internet.
Pretty much nothing has changed in the world of fitness for me. It seems that everytime I have a great week of dieting, my weekend ruins the hard work. I've been up and down the past two weeks with weight. But I now re-organized myself and will be determined to hit my new goal. It all started last Sunday. I decided to purchase a notebook and chart my progress. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed some change. My muscles are more defined and harder. They protrude through my clothing more than ever. Yet, I still have the same belly due to my binge weekend eating. So from now on, I will record every workout in my log. Each week, I will change the workouts, but the consistency will be the same. The goal is to hit the gym for weight training on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. This allows my body the well needed rest. I will hit cardio on Friday and Saturday mornings with interval training. I'll do 10 minutes each on treadmill, elliptical(ugh), and recumbent bike. As for Mondays and Wednesdays, they will be option days. If I have the energy and time, I will use it for cardio. If not, it can be used as a well needed break. As far as diet is concerned, my work week will not change. The thing that will change is my dinner. I will cook 3 nights a week and prepare meals in containers. I need to get at least 6-7 small meals a day in order to keep my body from being in starvation mode. I picked up some great pre-packaged chicken cutlets at BJ's. It's 10 bucks for 8 cutlets, but they're proportionate and tells you the calories and protein. Included in this diet, I will give myself two cheat meals a week. Why two? Because sometimes, one just isn't enough. The catch to this is that it must be somewhat proportionate(one slice of pizza, not a whole pie) and it cannot be on consecutive days or the same day. Also, it would be preferred after a lifting period or a cardio session. The meal must also be before 5 pm, so it can be properly digested and burned off before sleep. To add to this diet, I will include my soon-to-be new purchase of Glutamine to my protein shakes, one gallon of water minimally a day, and 3 protein shakes minimally a day. My goal is very simple. No one month or six months goals. A simple 12 week goal of 36lbs lost minimally. The goal date is set for July 27th. At this date, I should be in the best shape of my adult life and I'd like to enjoy the rest of the summer with my new body.
Anyways, I'll be blogging Monday night with my weight results after week 1 of the new Transformation Plan. In case you're wondering, I started this plan at 269lbs.
God is great and keep fighting the good fight!
