Before After

My friends list

The past week

 So it is Saturday and I am kinda proud of me. I managed to go 2 times to the gym and to do a abs work out at home.

I also managed to keep candy and soda away from me for the most part and at work I could resist the fried chicken and fries. 

Today I was not feeling well. I guess the cold I thought I got over is not gone completely and since I have to work tonight I decided to stay in and take my day off from the gym today and tomorrow. 

Next week I have to go at night to the gym. Something I don't like at all because it is busy around this time and I feel watched when i try to figure out how to work a new machine or when i get out of breath doing cardio. I rather go at noon when everyone else is at work. but i can not be picky I guess.

So the plan for next week is

Monday: Upper Body + Low Intense Cardio

Tuesday: High Intense Cardio

Wednesday: Abs ( at home)

Thursday: Cardio

Friday: Lower Body + Low Intense Cardio

I have to put in the cardio because I know without it I wont loose the extra body fat. So the workout with weights will be a little but more time consuming. But I should be okay. 

Finally

 Okay you all know I wanted to start over a month ago to get to the gym but i had the best excuse ever.work and school where just crazy. Working in school for 8 hours, then right to my " real" work over night and studying for the biggest test so far took it's tall and knocked me out.

The new module has some more free-time and no test and I will have no chance for excuses. Actually I went today to the gym and worked the lower body and also got weight again. and just with cutting out the sodas for the most part i lost 4 pound and 1.7% body fat. yeah for me :-)


One job that surely wont support your diet

Well the past 5 days were not to good diet wise. Maybe it is because I work at FeBo. FeBo is a typical Dutch fast food place. pretty much everything on the menu is fried. only the beef burgers are made on a grill but still full of fat. And if you have to face food all the time it is not easy to resist the temptation. so I ended up with 2 Milkshakes and two extra chicken burger in 2 nights. Bad Bad me. Maybe i will take some snacks with me to eat when i have the urge of eating. so i avoid the extra fatty stuff.

Winter Blues

Now i am ready to start but somehow ones again i can not get up and move my ass to the gym. Always looking for excuses and saying I will start tomorrow. The season and the weather don't help to much neither.

In the morning it is so hard to get up when it is still dark. after school I have to get school stuff done and in between i find something else.
But I really need to get it together. 
The eating is going good so far. apart from the sugar free red bull to stay awake for my late night studies. I eat every 2 hours to keep the metabolism going. cut a little back on my carbs and little more protein by adding flax seed to my cerials in the morning and lean chicken here and there. I am tempted by sodas allot because my body is still connecting thirst with the wish for that sugary stuff. But i know it will go away and I have to stick to it. Next week I be going home to my moms place i think so I have to arrange a work out schedule that fits. oh well we shall see.

The Reason

Well it is the time again. I want to loose weight. Over the past few years i lost and gained weight here and there. Unluckkily i gained more than I lost and came to what I am today. I feel unattractive and fat. Even though people tell me I am not I am not happy with myself. I know how i was and how I can be. I wouldnt consider myself fat neither but I am overweight. I have a body fat level of 41.1% that is actually clearly overweight even though it does not show so much. But I know and that is enough On the one hand I am doing this for myself. So i can feel better again. Buying jeans getting easier and just so i can wear cloth I like and not those who fit. Looking good in a bikini again like I did 2 years ago. I know i never be on the skinny side but i can be on the healthy side On the other hand I am not lying to myself. Thin and fit people have it easier when it comes to many things. Jobs, relationships and many other things. So it is not toally for myself but it will be for my own benefit sooner or later.
