My Fitness Journey is annoying, I know


My fitness journey is annoying me. I can only imagine how it annoys those around me. Everyone that is successful in their own journey to thin muscular perfection says you have to become obsessed to actually make it. And F me if that is not so damn true. What am I eating, what should I be eating, when should I eat it….what is my workout focus today…what should my focus be…when the F is this fat going to magically disappear? Jesus H Christ! Thus obsession is born.

Having a trainer is likely ideal, but I like to do things the hard way. (or I am too cheap to spend the money, which ever) So when I am not laser focused on my eating or my workouts, then I am pouring over websites and books to educate myself. Who knew this would be so tough? Especially at my age (10,000 years old!) When I was 23 I lost like 50 pounds after the birth of my first child. I stopped eating most things, didn’t eat after 6pm, lifted weights, and took kick boxing 3 days a week. BOOM! 50 pounds down, no thing. Um, Houston, we have a problem!

So I have decided what I am doing now is not working the way I would like it to, that means it is adjustment time. I am still going to lift on my split routine like I have been. I am still going to increase my volume and then my weight as I should. But now on my days off from lifting (Wednesdays and Saturdays) I am going to do an hour long cardio session instead of lifting more on those days like I have been. We will see if that increases my fat burning effects.

I have also enlisted the help of a dietitian. I got an eating plan for weightloss from her. I am going to follow this plan to the T. (at least 95% of the time anyway!) The plan has me eating lean proteins, veggies, and limited carbs (fruit and nuts mostly) This shit is going to F’ing work! Or I will be more annoying with more changes!

See! Obsessed and annoying. I know, I know….

FAT, get off my body already!!
