sorry for being lame!
I haven’t been updating as much as I would like to. I have been so busy with working out, school and work! Things have been going well for me. Eating has been great. It’s funny…there are some days when I feel like i need a little something “out of diet” and I will go to the store to get it and i just can’t bring myself to buying it when I look at the ingredient list. I have become so accustomed to eating natural foods that when I see the mile long list of ingredients on things I just can’t fathom putting that into my body. It’s a good thing though, I guess!
I have been seeing great results lately. I can tell that I am becoming leaner and leaner and it feels AWESOME. My stomach looks really good! My butt and thighs are starting to come into place, but they aren’t there yet. It’s funny because I am still not really losing weight. (Although i weighed myself with wet hair today…and i have some long thick hair so it may have thrown it off a little) I actually didn’t get upset with my weight on the scale either. I KNOW that i look better and i can see that i look better, so i am not going to let it affect me at all.
My workouts have been great and i’ve been getting in at least an hour of cardio a day…sometimes a little more than that too! All in all I am very happy with things right now!
Something that has been keeping me going is the fact that, yes, right now if this was the body i had for the rest of my life, i would be okay with that, BUT..the fact that i am making progress is pushing me to want to push the limit and see just what i am capable. I want to go to the MAX and see how much muscle i can pack into my body(without looking like im a man on steroids obviously)
I am having fun with this. I am like my own little guinea pig..try this, try that…this worked, this didn’t..etc.
For all of you that are struggling to find a happy medium…change what you don’t like and do what fits YOU. Maybe someone eats a certain way and its so easy for them and you can’t understand why….and thats probably because that is what works for THEM…Learn some basics and build off of that. It can make it more enjoyable too because you are constantly trying new things to keep it exciting.
Hi, I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog, it has helped motivate me. I was wondering about how many calories do you keep to a day while heavy lifting and an hour of cardio?
Great post – I completely agree. I LOVE seeing what vegan bloggers eat, or whole foods only eat but I know it doesn’t work for me and have to remind myself of that fact often. 🙂 GOOD FOR YOU! Sounds like things are going great!! Happy Friday – keep it up (although I KNOW you will). 🙂
