So with approximately 7 more weeks to go there are a few questions I have to ask myself about my progress.
1) Am I seeing any changes in my strength/ stamina?
Hell yes. my core which was pathetically week is becoming stronger with every ab exercise i do . and my weight training strength is steadily improving . The only thing I'm not happy with yet is my endurance . I would like to be able to run and have the energy to finish a workout without a creatine boost.
2) am I seeing any physical changes yet? Yes I have , everything is sucking in ,lol. my clothes are slowly getting looser . The only thing that sucks is that before my birthday i was 10 pounds thinner so I'm playing catch up with that . trying to get down the ten pounds that I gained and then trying to loose even more weight so I look better then I did then .
3) Is there anything in your diet that needs changing? First off I'm not on a "diet" exactly . I like to call it more of a life change . I have decided no to drink my calories , not to eat fried food or pretty much all "empty " calories. I'm not a fad dieter , if i just eat melon or something for the next year as soon as I put something bad in my mouth I'm going to gain it all back. the only thing that needs an immediate change is my mindset. Its mind over matter . I keep messing up with that. Like for example Dinner is rough. I make my healthy chicken and brown rice . eat it and feel completely satisfied . BUT THEN I see what my brothers are eating and I start to pick at that food too . all in all nighttime is the worst time for healthy eating . I' love to stay up to the wee hours of the morning and so my body craves instant energy, and in my sleepy weakened state I binge . Another thing I want to try is small meals every couple of hours . I know it really boasts your metabolism .
4) anything I am doing wrong workout wise? I have to get my ass in the gym more 3X a week is not enough . hell 4x a week is not enough . I need to sleep more so I have energy to go to the gym . I WANT TO WIN THIS SO BAD. ugh but I understand the only way I can is to turn this around right now and put my all into it . so what if I cant hang out as much . I'm putting myself through this not just for some stupid contest but so that I have the foundation of healthy habits for the rest of my life
