What a Clean Diet Does....A Progress Report!

[believeNme]

Its awesome to me to know that you did all that in 4-6 months! I'm so bummed that i've gained so much. It is about diet ( which is unfortunately the hardest part for me=( but its inspirational to see that if i work hard i can get back to where i was and it doesn't have to take years!@!! You look GREAT!!! =)

I've realized of late that my main obstacle to losing fat is my impatience. I want it all gone tomorrow. So I am constantly revising my diet and fitness schedule for optimum, SPEEDY fat loss. This all equals no fun or good food for me!!!

SOOO....I have decided that, because the weight didn't appear overnight I cannot expect it to depart overnight. I had fun gaining (Hagen Daaz Chocolate Peanut Butter), and I'm going to have fun losing. It may take time, but it will happen.

Since I have decided to give myself time I don't feel so burdened and the challenge doesn't feel so heavy. I weigh 156 and have a BF of 31-32% and 6 months from now I hope to have a BF of 22%. Slow ands steady.

Can't believe I am posting these pics, but things B Fold said to me motivated me to do so. This is just a reminder of what a clean diet and smart training can do for a body. My diet was all clean foods, no drugs, and I trained my ass off (quite literally!).

I'm posting this (and killing my pride!) so nobody - new or old - underestimates the effect of a GOOD DIET. Diet is #1 in changing your body and reaching your goals. No ifs, ands or buts. Don't make excuses, just do it. Now.

Here are pics of me taken April/May of 2003 (6 months ago). I had just taken about 6 months off eating well. I was working out, but minimally and not very hard. My diet consisted mostly of, well, of crap. I am normally "in shape", but due to life's stresses, I "boycotted" being healthy for awhile and paid the price. I gained over 30 lbs (up to 166lbs from 135) and was 30% BF (up from 21%).

Now, these were taken about a week ago. I am over 30lbs lighter and approx 15% BF. I lost over 10 inches around my hips, almost 10 inches around my waist, around 3 inches off my thighs. If you need more pictures, I have a gazillion in my gallery.

I still am a "work in progress" in that I have a lot of goals left to reach. Currently re-evaluating my training and diet to prepare for an NPC Figure Comp in Spring 2004.

On your cheat day did you totaly go overboard

Yup, cheat day was a free for all at my house. In hindsight I would NOT do that. CHeat day should NOT be a free for all. It made results take longer. Cheating should actually be done in a well planned out manner for maximum benefit, not just eating whatever whenever.
