I guess I didn't express myself the way I was tend to. I do eat fat as almonds and eat lots of veggies. But somehow I just don't see the changes and I don't know what to do and what exercise to do on the tights (red-circled on pix in log) bc I get answers sometimes for questions but not for those are important for me and the days are just passing by and I am making no progress. Honey, I say this with much & respect ... You have been at this about a month tomorrow (per your log) and have been kinda all over with the dieting since you were under the instruction of some unseen person, which I am not saying is wrong, but you need to learn patience & this does not happen over night ... also makes me think you are cheating or overeating or binging on your diet if you are now seeing results as you should be ... THAT or maybe medical conditions .. have you have blood work done ever to test things like this? ...
I am still here, and do the same kind of diet, I only have questions in the meantime, if I do it right bc I doubt it sometimes. I have cheat meals once a week. I don't eat over (this is why I posted the other one, how come I am still hungry and want to eat after eating..), I don't party, and if I cheat I have a glass of dry redwine or 2. I had problems with my liver long ago, I had hight BP and Chol. Haven't tested for 2 years but back then it was OK -genes.. .Why would I eat more junk and come here to ask questions, expect to loose "weight" and gaine muscle, I dont want to screw myself. Sorry for french.
I dont know how to do the TUT, yeah, I read all the articles and everything scientific.. but I need the practice part. How many times, how long, what weight. Becasue if I do heavy weight and lifting slow, let it go slow, I can only make like 4 reps, I can't do it for a whole minute (60sec). I do understand it, I got it but I do not got it..! If you use what you call a 'heavy weight' and can only get in '4 reps' usuing TUT then it is TOO heavy ... LOWER IT ... so you can get in ALL the reps, with good form, slow controlled movements, not like you are rushing thru them looking bored out of your pretty little head ... Take a bicep curl ... grab a dumbbell ... Grab one that you can do for 8 reps ... try this ... lower the weight (1-one thousand 2-one thousand .. the weight is now working against gravity and at bottom of the rep like a letter " L "... HOLD for one second .. then slowly bring the weight back up ... just as you lowered it .. one rep, do that 8 times, where the last rep you can do, it's hard but without compromising form.
Thank you! I am more concerned about my legs and ass then my arms, I dont know what is the best there,how to hold it when to hold it and..I am not eating the junk, I eat protein, I eat fat, carbs, maybe the water is less I should drink but I cant that much, there is no toilet in every corner I could go to and very embarrasing to go out if I am on a lunch or dinner.. You NEVER eat junk ever? EVER? Are all the food chouces CLEAN, not lunch meat, deli meat, prepackaged foods? Do you drink? I can go to the bathroom every 20 minutes if i wanted to ... it is a normal function of life, you need to get over being embarassed.
Yeah, I buy sliced deli turkey and chicken breast, prepacked only when there is no other available. I eat junk on my cheat days. And I feel bad becasue of the almonds I eat, I think it's too much, the anpb, maybe too much, I dont buy the frozen "tv dinner things", fresh green beans, potato, sweat potato, cabbage.
Coffee. Home or Donkin donuts iced skim latte, splenda. Few times a week.
I was also thinking about that I did too much of cardio, so I only do 15-20 miutes biking after each workout.
I do realize that I am asking too much here but I am actually on the way to give up becasue I do whatever you guys tell me, in the meantime I have questions becasue I dont want to mess up -too much almond, anpb, this or that maybe I eat??-, but it does seems like I must have done something wrong if I can't even see the tiniest change. Specially on my ass. I am really going to give up very soon becasue it just don't seem to worth it for me, I do all these and get nothing back. I hear people here they lost and gained this and that in a month. I didn't loose/gain on the scale, I didn't loose/gain in the mirror. I'll do it for a few more weeks if I don't "react" and than I'll leave you alone guys.
Thank you
