Let's Be Honest....

Okay, let’s be honest here…..

I’ve had to sit back and take a seriously look at why I am still fat. (you know fat, not PHAT which means something totally different!) What is happening in my life? I mean I am addicted to Instagram. And I see all these transformations that happen in like 4 to 8 weeks. WTF am I doing wrong? Where is my banging ass body in 12 weeks? Huh?

Here is what I think I am doing oh so wrong….

Let’s start with my eat plan…. Actually it would likely be more accurate to say what eating plan at this point. I was doing protein/veggies/fruit for each meal (some brown rice or sweet potato after leg days) with two snacks of nuts or protein in between meals (if hungry). Well, that is not what I have been sticking to lately. Cheat meals have turned into TREAT YOUR SELF every single day. Yeah, that is not going to get rid of this fat. So, it has to go. No more cheating and a lot more sticking to the plan.

More water of course…. Yadda yadda yadda….

Now the fitness plan….I am sucking at a couple of things here.

A.    Going through the motions. I can say I have not been fully focused in on each workout or each rep. I am guilty of punching my gym time slot and calling it a day. That is not going to get me to my goals.

BE MORE PRESENT DURING GYM SESS

B.    Cutting my lifting sets short. I think I will use mental fatigue here, but I have been cutting my sets short instead of slowly building up my volume. Not going to help at all. I’ve got to get out of my own head and stay with the program.

C.   Cutting my cardio short. Talk about going through the motions until I just feel like giving up. Man, I have been sucking at getting all my cardio in every day. I am trying to lose weight so the daily cardio is where that is going to happen.

FINISH STRONG

D.   My gym sessions have felt like a job, not the relief from it all like it usually has been to my life. I have to remember my health and feeling good in my own skin is very important. It touches every other part of my life.

BE HAPPY YOU ARE ABLE

E.    Not remembering that being healthy is 100 % my responsibility. Being healthy or unhealthy is not something that just happens to you, you have control over it completely. Time to remember who is in control here.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OUTCOMES

These tweaks will make a huge impact on my overall outcome. I E: how fat or not fat I am.

If only all yummy food was either actually good for you or didn’t taste so friggin yummy.

A girl can dream…..
