Thread: Living While Leaning

After six months of trying various diets went through lots of errors, gained muscle, fat and strength.

GOALS FROM TODAY:

*Find the right balance of nutrients for my body.
*To be consistent in my eating plan.
*Gain more strength.
*Have lots of energy through out the day & for my active lifestyle and work. (personal trainer & yoga instructor).
*Make peace with my eating plan and be satisfied with my meal choices.
*Find permenant solutions for following bodybuilding lifestyle & still able to travel, socialize and have fun with friends.
*Learn more & more about bodybuilding nutrition.

Queen...I'm glad your starting a new journal...I said I would PM you but I'll enetr my comments here:

"Focus on eating and training for the health benefits. Think about what you're doing and how it is making you healthier regardless of what the scale or mirror portrays. You are becomming healthier. That should be the focus. Don't eliminate categories of foods...don't think of your eating as a diet...and most of all....come to terms that we all have different body types and that's what makes us all unique. Our bodies need food and if we restrict ourselves too much...our bodies are smart and sooner or later it will catch up to us...we OVEREAT"

I hope this helps. You may also want to dress less revealing...ie. avoiding the skimpy workout gear and limit time spent in front of a mirror. You can achieve balance...just focus on how you feel....treat the food you eat as fuel for your body. Your body needs all kinds of foods...protein, carbs, fats, and a treat now and then.

You can do it....good luck...I'm going to be a regular here in your journal so do me proud

I am eating clean and six meals, I am keeping my diet same till April, as work and life is getting very busy, and to keep things simple on this end eating the same will help me focus on other things in my life.

six meals
carbs: ezielkiel products, veggies
protein: chicken breast, eggs, whey & soya products
fat: oils, avaocado, almond, peanut butter, coconut, half & half

Hey Guys,
Thanks for thinking about me, I have been checking the forum on and off, have been training really hard and going overboard on cardio 45-60 minutes everyday,training is going great. (have been a bit frustrated as working really hard, and still have quite a bit of bf on the abs???)

Have been reading alot about nutrition, will start posting again from this week, how is everyone doing, FF how the preparation coming along?
Yan, I read some stuff from you in the CKD forum (which I tried too? sucked...)
Burner! anymore pictures or travel plans?
Cheers guys, I will post soon.

No travel.....
Too fat...too broke.

I've got about 5 weeks of class left, then I should be able to hit the gym with consistancy again....it
Its hit-n-miss right now.


And the only real planned trip is for December for another diving vacation. I thik we are planning on going to Belize this year if the $$ is right.

Glad that you are still around!
