 | Diary of a fat man 3.5 Aha I was looking over my blogs and in my last entry i saw a typo. My gut was at a 57 not 56, hence the reason why i said i lost an inch in some places and gain a half in in others. I have been really good though this whole week, sticking to my lifestyle change working out every other day even though things have been hectic for me i havent given up and said oh well ill do that tomorrow. With every food temptation that comes my way I ask myself is this going to get me one step closer or one step farther from my goal weight and that is enough for me to say no thanks to the temptation.....like on Friday I went out again with my best bud kenny. What did I have to drink you say.....I drank ice water......and one bacardi and diet..(they are allowed. I just dont like liquor i cant handle it) then i came home ate a couple of almonds they too are allowed and went to bed. With every passing day it becomes a little easier....although I'm really starting to see the benefits of planning my meals way ahead of time instead of just saying I'm hungy what am i going to eat.......that only works for so long before u break down.....I've also been putting to use short term goals like adding one more pushup or squat to my workouts.....or taking the stairs instead of the elevator for a day. I know my weigh ins and measurements are due on Monday but i woke up today feeling invigorated....and as i passed by my mirror i had to stop and look at my body for a second......and i said whoa.....my stomach looks like it went down a little so i had to pull out the measuring tape just to see and by golly i lost another inch around my gut, i didnt measure n e thing else because today isnt measuring day i just had to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. thank God that they werent........So I'm starting to implement badges also.......The Alpha badge, Bravo badge, Charlie badge......each badge is a goal not a weight goal but a measurement goal.....they are end of the month goals, or even two month long goals......gotta remember the plateau. with me using nothing but muscle building techniques i cannot trust a scale to give me actual results but the measuring tape cannot be mistaken. I cannot help but think that being on the atkins lifestyle plan has had a dramatic affect on my weight loss......and i dont care what the docs say about how fat is bad for u.....i know trans fats are but im not eating trans fat, im eating lean meat and getting my fat from that. Back in the 1950s the French had the lowest rate of heart attacks compared to the U.S. and they drank wine, ate goose liver pateas* and cheese......high sources of fat.......but now since there is a Mcdonalds on everycorner there and their consumption of carboydrates have increased dramatically so have their rate of heart attacks........not a coincidence people, make your own assumptions.....i already made mine and my mind is made up. Also there is this friend of mine going to school for cooking, she is awesome and im thinking im going to ask her to teach me how to cook healthy and in return ill teach her Tai Chi. I can cook but im not great.....she is....im not....so if i can take up a little of her time and learn that would be sweet. |
