With the New Year (helllooo 2007!) many of us are plotting and planning new goals for ourselves. Our goals are all different, but no matter what the end result, the journey there is similar. If you are new here, PLEASE take the time to read through this post, spend some time reading all the links. This will help you SO MUCH.

Reaching your goals will take many things along the way.

1) Sacrifice. You will have to forgo that extra dessert, that happy hour indulgence, the sleeping in and skipping the gym. You will likely have to severely limit many of your favorite foods. You may have to give up extra time cuddling on the couch because you have to hit the gym. You will have to spend more time planning meals, preparing meals and carting meals around. Sacrifice is a necessary evil to reaching your goals.

2) Pain. Your body will likely ache. You will wonder why it takes so many muscles to sit on the toilet, get out of bed, or brush your hair. Sometimes, laughing will invoke abdominal spasms. Your brain will try to talk you into skipping workouts because you are too tired. Push through this. Do not ignore INJURY signals, but learn to recognize the difference.

3) Determination. You have to WANT the change. I mean, want it deep down in your soul. Not just want to look better in a bikini. You have to want to make the lifetime change to better yourself. You will likely live and breathe your goal. Everything to do will be centered around reaching this goal. This does not mean you have to ignore or neglect family, friends, and work. But you will have to make some sacrifices for this goal.

4) Research. You have to read everything you can. Spend time going through Elite Fitness, other websites, magazines, research studies, whatever you can get your hands on. This does not mean you have to implement everything you read, but the more you learn, the better prepared you are. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, but also know that YOU have to bear the bulk of the responsibility for finding the information.

5) Action. You have to DO something to make the change. The change will not come through resting on your butt. Obviously, if what you are presently doing is working, you wouldn’t be here asking questions and setting new goals to reach. Reaching a goal will require you to take responsibility for your own actions. You alone are responsible for what goes in your mouth and whether or not you workout. You are the only person that can bring about change. We can give advice all day long, but you have to be open to listening and changing.

Here are several threads that can help you on your journey: (if anyone has any others, please let me know and we can add them!)

EXCELLENT POST DG!!

Thank you for taking the time to compile it......
 
Re: Links Top Useful Threads and Information! A Must Read!

Thanks Daisy, I printed this out & glued it in my journal.
 
Re: Links Top Useful Threads and Information! A Must Read!

Wow! Thanks, Daisy! You are always so helpful :)
 
I'm trying to figure out a cycle, but Primobolan is almost impossible to get so can anyone recommend something in its place. I have read so much literature and it seems the more I read the more controversial it gets. The cycle recommended to me was Primobolan(5mg/tab) and Deca (1/2 cc/wk) for one month and off one month then Deca and Winstrol (2mg/tab) for one month. If anyone has a better cycle please share.
thanks :-)
 
Bump I havew been here 2 years and still reread a # of these threads from time to time. Great sticky Daisy Girl :bigkiss:
 
Which one of the links is for the womens routine commonly referred to as "Shadow's project?"

I did a search for 'shadows project' but it only brought back 2 threads. I might be joining a gym soon and I need to start looking at workout routines.

(I always come back to this thread as there is sooooooo much info in it!)
 
Added a couple of links to articles that are generally very helpful....
 
Daisy Girl, I have read throught your posts and found them very informative. I am need of some help with my wife who seems to be resistant to all efforts. Below is the post I put up of the situation/diet. Any advice?

I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction here. My wife was basically anorexic for 2yrs, ate 1 6oz yogurt a day and limited herself to 2 cups of water as well. All this while playing college volleyball and running 5miles a day. I can't believe she is still alive. 1st year with me she was on about 500-700kcal/day diet, pretty much dinner only. I started training her on a 3day bodybuilding split with diets of 1000kcal to 1300kcal/day and any where from 38% to 60% carbs & at least 1 gallon of water/day. She gained muscle and fat at first and now seems to be gaining just fat? 5'9 and was 128lb, now at 141lb and around 23%bf. Her BMR is around 1450kcal/day but I am afraid she would gain even more fat and get more depressed. Could there be medical issues here? I have never had a person I couldn't get to burn fat, her body just doesn't respond. Any ideas on how to change up dieting/wkouts?

Thanks for the replies. I will attempt to answer all the questions. Yes, blood work done in the past month, just a basic test. Dr said everything was in the normal range including Thyroid which was my concern due to frequency of being cold, especially the hands. Hormones were not tested and she doesn't take birth control or other meds. RMR is figured with Harris-Benedict equation, not including activity which does bring it up in the 1800-1900 range. In the times I have tried to get her above 1400Kcal she could barely eat the food, was uncomfortable. Interesting thing with her is she claims to be bloated a lot, feels as though she retains water a lot of water and says it's almost as if her skin will hurt it's so hydrated which I have never heard before. This is a concern of mine not having worked with many women, is this normal in for females?
My thinking is that at 1200-1300kcal maybe around 1000kcal if she skimps while at work w/o my knowledge is that her body finally has enough kcal to actually store some fat and being in starvation mode it does. Back when she consumed a few hundered a day there wasn't even enough for fat storage. I think the muscle gains might be mainly from water in the muscle as she was obviously dehydrated before dinking less than 30oz fluid a day. I would like to take her to 1800 kcal a day but am fearful her body won't respond well just due to the former eating pattern and worsen the fat storage. I also had her stop cardio for 1 month as I think her body was too accustomed to it after 4yrs of running 4-5miles almost every day. I am about to start the cardio again by doing a 4day lift/3day cardio plan. THANKS FOR THE HELP!

We have been working on her for 4.5 months of which there were a few weeks where the diet was not followed at her request. The current diet is as follows.

Break, 354kcal. =eggs and oatmeal. 27g protein, 40g carbs, 9g fat
snack, 132Kcal. =.5 scoop muscle milk and .5 scoop egg protein 26g Pro, 3g Carb, 4.5g Fat
lunch, 228
kcal.-3 oz chicken breast and 6 0z sweet potato. 27P, 30g Carbs, 1g F
snack, 204Kcal =yogurt and almonds. 19g carb, 16 P, 7g fat ( I think she will skip a lot because shes at work)
PWO shake, 242Kcal =42g Carb, 19 Protein. Half banana, apple juice or rice milk and whey.
dinner, 121 Kcal = 4oz fish or other lean meat. steamed fresh or a canned vegetable like green beans, asparagus etc. 24g P, 4g carbs 1 F
