Getting Started!
After five weeks of travelling and endless consumption of those take out foods and alcohol, I decided it's time for a change. A change for better health. I was tired of feeling like crap and knowing the foods I was eating contained absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever and plugging my arteries full of fat made me sick to my stomach.
So, I took the initiative to give up cigarettes once and for all. That was the first step to my road to success. Day three and I feel a million times better! I can't imagine how I will feel once the disgusting toxins have weaned out of my system.
I am following the regime of St. John's, Rob King of Heavyweights Training Center and his 21 day rapid fat loss program. It doesn't start until the 2nd of April, but I decided to take the initiative and get a head start.
His top pointers were:
>Get a Partner! workouts are so much more fun when you have someone to motivate you. And you motivate them as well. Right now I'm home on Fogo Island and my partner is my cousin Sarah. She is a vibrant 16 year old and full of life. I want to push her and get her going to exercise. As much as I love her, she is definitely overweight and she knows it too. But no one to motivate her. I want to set an good example.
>Do not drink your calories! Its so easy to ingest the calories that you do not need. Water, Lemon Water, Green Tea, Black Coffee & Milk (for your protein shakes). It's recommended to drink 8 glasses of water per day and do that! But be wary, don't overdo it! If you drink too much water, the cells in your brain will swell up and you can "drown". But that's if you take it too far with the water consumption. Best recommendation is to drink fluids that contain electrolytes. Especially for working out. The electrolytes are electrically charged ions that keep the balance of your cells. For more info go here! >http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/diet-fitness/information/question565.htm
>No sugar! That includes fruit juice and fruits themselves! Sugar is Sugar! No consumption of fruit, so therefore eat beef, fish, poultry, milk, eggs and vegetables. The possibilities!!! :)
> Don't forget to get your nutritional supplements! Multivitamins will replace those that you don't get with your diet. Fish Oil will help reduce inflammation in your muscles when you work out and the omega 3 fatty acids can help reduce blood pressure, improve mental health, and lubricate your joints! Protein powder consists of carbohydrates, fats and of course protein! This will help build up your muscles, bone, improve skin, and other tissues.
>Whenever in the day you decide to workout, eat your carbohydrates close to those workout times. The energy from carbs will make you work faster and harder. Weight training and cardio training should be done separately so you don't wear yourself out too much! I have been doing cardio, but no weight training yet, due to a neck and shoulder injury but I am very eager to get to it!
>Don't deprive yourself! Treat yourself and indulge in your favourite food out there! But don't overdo it! Personally I can probably get away without the fatty takeout restaurant food and make something fabulous at home. I am a chef so I should be able to! :) I can see Artichoke dip, cream cheese indulgence!!!!! And Guacamole!
> Write down everything you do! This is a good way to keep yourself on track!
Lets get moving!
