Day 151 - Self Sabotage

I don't understand why I keep setting myself up for failure. Last week I had gotten down to 202 lbs. Only two more pounds to go, and I thought it would be okay to splurge. Then that splurge reacted to something deep down inside of me, from my past, and my old routines caught up with me. I have gained 5 pounds and I'm not happy. I need to discipline myself in eating right, and get off my lazy butt and do the physical activities I need to be doing. When I get a chance after I graduate, I am going to work out with Seth three times a week, after I find a job or course to pay for it all. Until then, I am going to keep fighting.

Day 141 - Lean Down or Bulk Up

4 more lbs until I reach my goal. It has been a long journey, but after I reach my goal, I will have to decide upon a new goal. After polling my friends if I should continue to lean down, or whether I should bulk up, the majority believe I should lean down, but ultimately it is what I want for myself and my own body.

What I want is to lean down, but at the same time build some muscle. I don't want to be a meathead, bodybuilder, or abnormally bigger. I want to be skinny, like anyone else in this world, but I still want to accomplish my other goals.

Goals:
1. Get under 200
2. Do one pull-up
3. Lose my gut

So I am not done. I am going to continue with the same process and devote more to exercising and more discipline to my food intake. I also do not want to use Creatine, due to the longterm effects many studies have shown and what I have read in Livestrong.com. and mostly I'm slightly worried if after getting to the body I want, when I stop taking creatine what will happen. Fat Burner, I don't know either. I haven't read too much about it, so I don't want to take anything unless I have done my research.

So that is what I am going to do, Keep GOING!

Day 139

It has been quite a while since I have updated, and this is basically what has happened. I haven't worked out since last Tuesday because Seth and I felt my body as either going to be out of commission or my joints would have failed on me really soon. Since not working out, I feel great. I have been taking Glucosamine for my joints, I got a one-hour massage at Massage Heights, and I put my two weeks in at Freebirds World Burrito. Also since my last post I have attended a career fair, where I will be finding a career/job when I graduate in December. Currently I am in the library studying, and now I am 205 lbs, and only 5 more lbs til my goal. Until then, I will update in a couple of days.

Healthy Tip of the Day: Rest, Relax, and Be Sensible.

Working out for 3-4 months straight is awesome, but taking time off is awesome too. Your body needs to recover from all the stress from working out. A week off is what one needs to recover from long months of working out. Go get a massage, read a book, enjoy the outdoors, relax. When it comes to food, be sensible. Don't eat what you know is bad. After resting for a week I lost 3 lbs, just from eating right.
