Which doing the Carb Cycling would be better for. <br />I also wouldn't cheat Sat and SuN if I did carb cycling. matter of fact i would just have the one "Cheat Meal" Sat, and let that be that. <br /><br />Hmmm Decisions.AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-75920817389836746432009-11-02T09:59:00.000-08:002009-11-02T10:07:07.781-08:00My Birthday & Halloween Eating Blow out!!!!OMG i dont even know where to begin on the things I ate. <br /><br />*The foods outside of my diet*<br />Sat 10/24 it was just one bowl of Cereal, and wings, steak and a Pie (Apple)<br /><br />Sun 10/25 4 bowls of Cereal, Pie (Cherry) Red Robyn Monster burger 2 patties, and 2 orders of Fries!<br /><br />Sat 10/31 1 Bowl of Cereal Omelet, 2 Pies (cherry and Apple), 2 cookies (oatmeal raisin), Noodles and company Wheat Linguine and Chicken!, half a rotissere chicken, <br />PB and J sandwhich, Chicken burger Sandwich<br /><br />omg lol What Diet?<br /><br />and Tuesday 11/3 I'll be eating something else, (my Friend is going to celebrate my bday for me) why tuesday? you ask....<br />I'm off she is off. and my body is craving.<br /><br />I think the only reason i ate so much on those 3 days mentioned is because my body was craving. for the past 7 months I have put my body through hell with this Diet.<br /><br /><br />so for now and I'll be eating what I want Sat and Sun and mon-Fri doing no carb.

Right now my decision is....<br /><br />NO<br /><br />im not going to do it. (my mind changes every week but I think this is it lol)<br /><br /><br />This would of been a good thing to signify like hey I lost weight, look at me, but why should I do that, I feel great that I saw abs, and I have them and on top of that, when its time for me to bulk up, I'll be in a lot better shape, I don't have to worry about getting big like I was for awhile, now. (I mean fat) <br />Like I don't know I just had a straight epiphany about me not wanting to do it. <br /><br />This isn't something I have the passion or desire to do. I never really did, I think my original reason for wanting to do it was the thrill or spirit of competition that I have. For some reason this just isn't it. Its not the Diet or the training that I do, because im still dieting until the end of the month and I train everyday anyway. <br /><br />My ultimate goal isn't to be representing brands, or being on muscle mags, im not looking to be recognized,<br />although it would be nice to have that Jared from Subway story, maybe get a little money, but this certainly isn't the way to do it if I want it. (which I honestly did his diet when i was younger and lost 30lbs)<br /><br />I want the people that care about (family friends) <br />Maybe some random people to recognize that I put in extremely hard work to change myself and my lifestyle, <br />and if i can do it anyone can do it, give hope to everyone obese or want to lose that little bit of weight that life can change for them.<br /><br />(Ha it sounds like I should do the show the way im talking. )<br /><br /><br />But in retrospect its not like all the people I want to see my change will be there you know. and that was my fuel to even work out and look better.<br /><br />This for my Mom and dad who fattened me up in the first place lol, to show them my change,.<br />(which they see everyday)<br /><br />This was for my brother who use to call me fat boy, but still loved me, now admires me.<br /><br />This was for Mack and Spiro (yes throwback) who I always looked up to when I was a kid because i wanted to be skinny and in shape like them, plus they always accepted fat tony and defended me and stood by me no matter what. <br /><br />This was for all the jokes I got when I was younger (which I positively spun around) <br /><br />This wasn't for any ladies (surprisingly) but its nice to look better. <br /><br />This was for the rest of my family who never cared that I was big, but i want to show them i changed.<br /><br />This was also for the people who encouraged me, maybe hated the way i was doing the diet or had to be put on hold because of it, but understood completely and still cheered me on.<br /><br />and outta like the 15 people mentioned only maybe 4 of them will be at that show...<br /><br />Maybe i should do it maybe I shouldn't, but fact of the matter is I didnt do it for recognition among people I could care less about. or judges<br /><br />Hell i take my own pictures now, i dont need a professional taking pictures of me and like 6 other people from like 30 feet away.<br /><br />Thats why Im still going to diet at least until the beginning of November (5 more weeks) and if I feel like I still want to do it, and I come across the extra money then so be it,(money is another big issue because it would cost me close to 200-300 bucks) but if not then screw it i know its not my goal, <br />lol my goal is to walk in Walmart with no shirt on. until someone tells me to put one on lmao (i swear on everything im going to do it)<br />My goal was to get ABs, lol got them<br />My goal was to lose body fat so when I want to get bigger, it won't be sloppy.<br /><br /><br />One of my goals is to do marathons (or more like 5ks and 10k's then work myself up) now thats something I always wanted to do and I'll put my heart into. <br /><br />But body building wasnt one of them, I have the body I want and that was my goal, there is still some areas I need to approve on but I got my whole life to do it..<br /><br />If its in the future for me to do it, like next year or something then I'll be ready!<br /><br /><br />THE END LOL sorry it was so long..AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-41837685841572335802009-09-27T17:44:00.000-07:002009-09-27T17:44:12.178-07:00Week

being on Week 8 of the no carb diet, Im starting to feel it, the cheat means don't carry me through the whole week anymore, they carry me til about Tuesday, Wednesday if I'm lucky.<br />By Thursday and Friday I'm completely done, It pains me to just move.<br />I feel like whatever energy, ki, blood, aura, whatever it is that keeps me afloat is gone.<br /><br />Thank God I have the type of job where I'm sitting down and not doing alot of moving. (or that could be the bad thing?) <br /><br />I have 8 more weeks til that show, (if I do it, which I may not)<br /><br />But Like I have said in other post, I will continue to do this diet, at the very least until my birthday week (October 26th) But I will more than likely continue up until the day I am suppose to compete (November 20th) which is an extra 4 weeks on top of it, (which would still be 12 weeks of no carbing, which is normal for most competitors) <br /><br />I dont mind dieting until then because I have a great excuse to just abuse Thanksgiving. although i thnk regardless for about 4 days im eating what I want when i want anyway. then going back to clean eating. I'll keep yall posted.AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-18473741886591600852009-09-21T07:32:00.000-07:002009-09-21T07:32:23.748-07:00End of Week 7<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbfH33Z5DuLLavgOcwQa565duj5DsiPRvfRLZw41oY6MJHOHNco8dZsH4IIUJAP54Ie0wd1cZyadzBnAPXnAk-Xr4fAZtvTcxu2kngZmMRfVcunE0ngwsvn7Iq_WxzRnYHecXw8lmyCI/s1600-h/SSPX0227.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbfH33Z5DuLLavgOcwQa565duj5DsiPRvfRLZw41oY6MJHOHNco8dZsH4IIUJAP54Ie0wd1cZyadzBnAPXnAk-Xr4fAZtvTcxu2kngZmMRfVcunE0ngwsvn7Iq_WxzRnYHecXw8lmyCI/s320/SSPX0227.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gTy47GrUMKabHx_CHuQBR4EfVb6UkPsFvfHuTeXMM3Fqoxk8mz_x1AnNQKINSA1aYDPMIRQoPH93C8TW1cELdtrB6tu94jXqJbp6-unxcYE1UsTmhg_BVdPs1w3ROijukKQdAr9c-o0/s1600-h/SSPX0229.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gTy47GrUMKabHx_CHuQBR4EfVb6UkPsFvfHuTeXMM3Fqoxk8mz_x1AnNQKINSA1aYDPMIRQoPH93C8TW1cELdtrB6tu94jXqJbp6-unxcYE1UsTmhg_BVdPs1w3ROijukKQdAr9c-o0/s320/SSPX0229.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFC_htyKGbM7U18kRUJbZDbeeBKQrdUvgh0lmc2_Eotrgo10zXVzZs_mu2qRQ0zodiJrDcQp9pcIuy0EHxEhVRwHT74FUvULwkuKtyQX8MnnO3mHSiuhopuuk9D_HX2ouF2bgffcbcgJk/s1600-h/SSPX0230.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFC_htyKGbM7U18kRUJbZDbeeBKQrdUvgh0lmc2_Eotrgo10zXVzZs_mu2qRQ0zodiJrDcQp9pcIuy0EHxEhVRwHT74FUvULwkuKtyQX8MnnO3mHSiuhopuuk9D_HX2ouF2bgffcbcgJk/s320/SSPX0230.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br /><br />slowly slowly starting to see the difference.<br /><br />But im also starting to feel the strain from doing no carbs. <br /><br />Abs are starting to show without flexing, muscles are getting tired, and that extra fat is starting to go away.<br /><br />It will probably take a little more.

Also did some posing with my Trainer now that my diet and cardio has changed as well I know i'll make the weight that I need to be for the competition (at least Hope I do). <br /><br />The posing is what really brought my spirits high, I looked alot better than I thought I would when I was fully flexed. My muscles are developing and the fat is going away nicely, the biggest thing is the extra skin and fat from when I was bigger.<br />My Trainer also gave me a compliment, which are as rare as the solar eclipse, so that had me a little happy. <br /><br />On top of that I had my cheat meal and It was finally something that <span style="font-weight:bold;">I</span> wanted! <br />PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWHICH, SUNCHIPS AND SALSA (new flavor of sunchips also chipotle style pretty decent not as good as Garden Salsa). <br />Those were the 2 most important. I also had Chicken Salad which was calling my name since my dad made it 2 days before. and 5 oz steak with steak sauce.<br />Doesn't seem like much of a CHEAT meal, considering all that stuff was fairly healthy (even the sugar free strawberry jam, and natrual peanut butter on Ezikel Break **bread with no flour**)<br />But I only Gained 3lbs, (where I usually gain like 5/6) and after the first day dropped 2lbs already.<br /><br />So I'm ecstatic and confident now. <br />Well there is still 8 weeks left til I know If I can compete.<br />Now i'm Praying to be able to compete! I wanna get a good place!!!!!!AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-21001503587941128072009-08-31T10:23:00.000-07:002009-08-31T10:55:53.232-07:00About to break<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5NE6wdTnVLzWkOjbClneKaUk0NacYzc-ahED9_LfpruzsReEQt3RSNaWnv8X29q337ALS4BVLS-5_x-FVLh7hvg7IrGJEbThfsClCcZwP-wNCeo-T2sSyTScBzDohG6O6zeUyNz0XcaP/s400/Broken+Stick.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5NE6wdTnVLzWkOjbClneKaUk0NacYzc-ahED9_LfpruzsReEQt3RSNaWnv8X29q337ALS4BVLS-5_x-FVLh7hvg7IrGJEbThfsClCcZwP-wNCeo-T2sSyTScBzDohG6O6zeUyNz0XcaP/s400/Broken+Stick.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />This was actually written Friday when I was going insane, my follow up blog should clarify how I feel now.<br /><br />As week 4 of no carb diet comes to a close, the stress is getting to me. I'm only about 8 or 10lbs down from the start of that day Aug 3rd. <br />Granite the food and the Cardio fuckin suck. I think the worst thing is the mind fuck the Weight Scale puts on you. In my ear I have my trainer telling me I should have lost more weight than I have this month. Which I can't see how considering I've been dieting for 4 whole months now. I mean how much was I really suppobe to lose when Ive lost close to 25lbs before august. Now i'm at a total of about 35lbs lost since summer, alot of fat loss and I can see abs.<br />There not poppin out or anything like I want them to, but they are noticable, which essentially I wanted in the beginning.<br />I'm happy with my resulsts so far. I know it can be better but it would be nice to just pick up a handful of animal crackers again or have a chipotle burrito, not even the burrito really just the salad dressing sauce or some chick-fil-a sauce. I haven't had those things in forever, not even in my Carb cycling days.<br />To be honest I'd love to just go back to carb cycling. Which I will probably after this no carb is over so I don't gain back to much weight.<br />I'm goign to stick with it until my B-day (which I originally planned anyway). Which also still in hindsight leaves me with 2 months left of dieting, but hell by that time I'll know if I'm going to be able to compete or not, saying that to myself, I feel better about it. I promised myself to be in this til my Birthday and thats what I'm going to do!!!! <br />STAY STRONG <br />LOL its just the morning time that kill me. Weight Scale & 4 eggs suck! thats when I'm most doubting myself.AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-57824268472373938982009-08-29T15:29:00.000-07:002009-08-29T15:29:25.251-07:00End of Week 4<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbO8WIm9KthLytxB5lMuVo7F1R1xjpIGHtC8_lHTQc1hg-5l6HOc5VCRtrkBAJa_OsJ9-q24akU6bDyBtcA48huJoSnzQ2lyF1R7tIoJDLwkoww2138wHwuQw6MHiTi4V7BzuE9Wibhf8/s1600-h/week45.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbO8WIm9KthLytxB5lMuVo7F1R1xjpIGHtC8_lHTQc1hg-5l6HOc5VCRtrkBAJa_OsJ9-q24akU6bDyBtcA48huJoSnzQ2lyF1R7tIoJDLwkoww2138wHwuQw6MHiTi4V7BzuE9Wibhf8/s400/week45.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin4-vzXKhr6-hC4TAge4wEjMDJDI-HVtR8xVs1wqLFd4SGcfpxPumiLq22BZM9OIP9B6GJ8RmOKdUT1txmb4laskrKnpXUDgWAbTkkUcfDqdDPUaz0N9ycVUtaCZkEVnneL5IlXmgOtg8/s1600-h/week46.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin4-vzXKhr6-hC4TAge4wEjMDJDI-HVtR8xVs1wqLFd4SGcfpxPumiLq22BZM9OIP9B6GJ8RmOKdUT1txmb4laskrKnpXUDgWAbTkkUcfDqdDPUaz0N9ycVUtaCZkEVnneL5IlXmgOtg8/s400/week46.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1adVLysshENYnbM21CbvzQmArgB6X2fHc0x4O11X145szClu_9fMSM850ZklaByjOlifmsXNUimwm4iQP3z-aTZdxU8wZyGBPLl2PfhjFPQvpx0_qhTz4n_hhQxIB-PfBRLAEvsASpAI/s1600-h/week48.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1adVLysshENYnbM21CbvzQmArgB6X2fHc0x4O11X145szClu_9fMSM850ZklaByjOlifmsXNUimwm4iQP3z-aTZdxU8wZyGBPLl2PfhjFPQvpx0_qhTz4n_hhQxIB-PfBRLAEvsASpAI/s400/week48.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilztmOIehL9Lu3xYVvNf2Wcdovzlxpm5dZLoRC1kACLe301Aolt96Zzl8VXzQUyb-odult5wUBKdICxqvhVe5LqPO5H9dUMV6lftcDEs7lXNXBOgkx1uBhK4QJpay9pJmEfHiABETqkE0/s1600-h/week492.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilztmOIehL9Lu3xYVvNf2Wcdovzlxpm5dZLoRC1kACLe301Aolt96Zzl8VXzQUyb-odult5wUBKdICxqvhVe5LqPO5H9dUMV6lftcDEs7lXNXBOgkx1uBhK4QJpay9pJmEfHiABETqkE0/s400/week492.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br /><br />I actually Gained a pound this week, but I found out it was because my Water hasn't been as much as I should. <br /><br />But I felt alot better about myself after I did some Posing with my Trainer, I looked pretty good. <br />I gained some muscle <br /><br />1 month down 2 months and 3 weeks to go!!!!<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-32325445184562834382009-08-24T06:45:00.000-07:002009-08-24T06:58:05.064-07:00Stress Causes added weight!<a href="http://www.stressfree.net/Body%20Mind.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 544px; height: 260px;" src="http://www.stressfree.net/Body%20Mind.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />So the thing about this diet, is the stress that comes along with it.<br /><br />Eat every 3 hours no later than 3 1/2 if you can't help it.<br /><br />You can only have this amount of [insert meal] but you can't have this [insert meal] at this time.<br /><br />You didn't lose any weight this week then [insert problem] must be wrong. or you have to increase cardio.<br /><br />There are just so many specifics to this diet. <br />I'm completely happy now to where I'm at, this was my target weight. <br /><br />BUT<br /><br />there are far many more things than just weight I need to work on. I have to keep going til my skin tightens up. Also more fat is off.. there is just alot<br /><br />It really stresses me out alot to be completely honest. <br />I don't want to let my Trainer down, He has blessed me with the knowledge and hard work for me to have the body I have been waiting for since I was 5 (and knew about super heros and such).<br />He has taken out time, effort, money, and my blood (lol) for me to get the way I am now. I have about 13 more weeks until I know If I'm able to do that show or not. <br />I don't want to let him down, and more importantly myself down.<br /><br />But with all this Stress my body holds on to water weight.<br /><br />So I have to learn to let it go and let nature be. <br /><br />Things are either meant to be or their not.<br />but i'm trying hard for them to be. <br /><br />Had to get this topic out of me, so I can remain focused. <br /><br />3 weeks are down, I'm down 7-9 lbs I'm doing well, as long as I keep up the 1-3lb drop every week im good!AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-1043218605483432782009-08-22T20:19:00.000-07:002009-08-22T20:21:01.369-07:00End of week 3<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYveE_yNwLOnxADa0ou-MjbFzQ6nQaiEJHNXif9a8bKGxTicY1_CAicS5cqrL8bMF43L8B7KlcqUiRspKpTUJ88g1wH0v5QtqaXTii0YTItaEDzin7t69Ura_Qu7QqB82Q1j_h-J_L0Uw/s1600-h/morrn3.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYveE_yNwLOnxADa0ou-MjbFzQ6nQaiEJHNXif9a8bKGxTicY1_CAicS5cqrL8bMF43L8B7KlcqUiRspKpTUJ88g1wH0v5QtqaXTii0YTItaEDzin7t69Ura_Qu7QqB82Q1j_h-J_L0Uw/s320/morrn3.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSxxMR8WV04FZz7xP0wfvyoFGFnH86Fw0GxhDy_zbElPfimfY-f2aq_6JFn7hMxJNVBaTPx4PEmRGgFooCwiYqen_IV2itLnz4wT4Qv4mUbp_ayylK68U_Kv3u-kg9Jw-ZFgtxUH3Bow/s1600-h/morn9.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSxxMR8WV04FZz7xP0wfvyoFGFnH86Fw0GxhDy_zbElPfimfY-f2aq_6JFn7hMxJNVBaTPx4PEmRGgFooCwiYqen_IV2itLnz4wT4Qv4mUbp_ayylK68U_Kv3u-kg9Jw-ZFgtxUH3Bow/s320/morn9.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeC1H7RyxZLJiepauH-yXbYS2hGu0TqzbwUVpfY0hbix8okegOa9x1NINRQ2LJ6hDvnrnHlB_ulfARwJjLWIKd9D8NCCA9nBWpemtaPQqNd_92ffByw5QbG44I_iv9ux3O9YPtXUjQWRw/s1600-h/gweek1.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeC1H7RyxZLJiepauH-yXbYS2hGu0TqzbwUVpfY0hbix8okegOa9x1NINRQ2LJ6hDvnrnHlB_ulfARwJjLWIKd9D8NCCA9nBWpemtaPQqNd_92ffByw5QbG44I_iv9ux3O9YPtXUjQWRw/s320/gweek1.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1s_MDAaK351a9k5A2e4y6lkcrHsk_eRd1SJo9ymbpXwmmcm13bAGm2lnzvX0QQJsZweVzRvhr7TARX2Y-mHy0zdK6sNALOBMAVc4MADfHOrUmK6v3OBUMMJpvKkpkMFkxnnwudcLoytA/s1600-h/gweek4.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1s_MDAaK351a9k5A2e4y6lkcrHsk_eRd1SJo9ymbpXwmmcm13bAGm2lnzvX0QQJsZweVzRvhr7TARX2Y-mHy0zdK6sNALOBMAVc4MADfHOrUmK6v3OBUMMJpvKkpkMFkxnnwudcLoytA/s320/gweek4.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br /><br /><br /><br />This week update you guys may not notice much difference, because idont have a great camera plus nothing really to show.<br />my skin has gotten tighter, (which is the main thing I need) <br /><br /><br />my traps are getting better also. finally seeing seperation in my biceps and triceps which is good.<br /><br /><br />I had stres becausee i felt like i wasn't losing the weight this week, so I retained alot of water from it. <br /><br />which bloated me up.

This where I started in the beginning of Summer, May 4th, Til I started my new diet August 3rd!<br /><br />It would be better if i had someone taking the picture for me, but ofcourse i don't. so i had to do the ghetto, myspace/facebook mirror picture. (which I hate) but o well this was in the name of progression<br /><br /><ol><li>Please also dont misunderstand this as a vanity thing...just read my blog about the 4 C's and u will understand http://hawkaj.blogspot.com/2009/07/conceited-confident-convinced-cocky.html<br /></li></ol><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>AHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-66708647721713902372009-08-08T18:53:00.000-07:002009-08-08T19:53:10.175-07:00WARNING!!! Do not be Afraid of food!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5117785/241989-main_Full.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 272px;" src="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5117785/241989-main_Full.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />OK so this isn't so much a Warning just a helpful hint.<br /><br />If you always wanted or asked for advice about eating<br />and always got the answer<br />5 small meals a day<br /><br />well its true, you haven't been lied to.<br /><br />Mainly keep it the way it is in traditional spanish countries.<br /><br />Breakfast Medium sized,<br />Lunch Large<br />Dinner Small<br /><br />but remember to snack in between it!<br /><br />Protein, Protein, Protein,<br /><br />Thats what you need<br />1. to build up some muscle<br />2. to jump start that metabolism<br />3. because your body needs the other nutrients most protein based foods include.<br /><br />There is also usually a big misunderstanding of what Protein is, and what Carbs are.<br />For some people you may think "Really people dont know the difference?"<br />But yes Alot of people don't know what is considered carbs and what isn't.<br /><br />The protein list is easy<br />Fish, red meats, Poultry, eggs, even the other white meat (pork)<br /><br />Now the Carb list is complicated so I'll try to simplify it into a easy categories.<br />1. Anything Hard that Crunches (crackers, Chips, Cereal )<br />2. Anything Sweet (Candy, chocolate, juice, cakes)<br />3. Things that go with your proteins (Bread, Potatoes, Pastas, Oatmeals)<br />4. The miscellaneous (fried things, Toppings/Condiments (not all) just bbq sauce, ketchup, salad dressings )<br /><br />Basically look on the back of labels for things.<br /><br />I'm certainly not saying don't take away these things just be conscious of it.<br /><br />Sugar turns to fats<br />Carbs is what bloats/ builds you up<br />Fats are (well) fats and some are important for you but others bring you down. (like Trans fats and to many Saturated fats)<br /><br /><br />remember this cardinal rule/quote<br />No/Low Carbs doesnt mean No Fats<br />No/Low sugar doesnt mean No Carbs<br />No/Low Fats doesn't mean No Sugars<br /><br /><br />Basically just watch your intake. Try to stay away from Carbs/Sugars after 7 p.m.<br /><br />but always make sure to eat some type of protein before bed so your body can use it while you sleep<br /><br /><br /><br />Once again DO NOT be afraid of food,<br /><br />Just be smart with it<br /><br />5 meals a day<br />those 2 inbetween "Snack" meals<br />should be something like Nuts, or a granola bar, or Protein shakes.<br /><br />that way your body is constantly fed, which is what you want, just not with bad stuff.<br /><br />when your body is hungry and you finally eat, it will store all the fat and things that it can which you dont it to Store.<br />You want it to use and get rid of the waste!<br /><br />I hope this was helpfulAHawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044861080123489958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309268344781249805.post-8315375006983034912009-08-07T07:52:00.000-07:002009-08-07T08:48:48.071-07:00Exercise Anorexia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://u1.ipernity.com/5/30/49/1823049.c17b9a51.560.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 221px;" src="http://u1.ipernity.com/5/30/49/1823049.c17b9a51.560.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 102);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><b><br />COMPULSIVE EXERCISE (A.K.A.

The person with this eating disorder often goes undetected due to the lack of information about the harmful effects of <b>over exercise</b> behaviors. Furthermore, the compulsive exerciser may eat an average amount of food, disregarding others from being alarmed. However, compulsive exercise behaviors cause bodily harm much like anorexic and bulimic consequences and likewise, exercise anorexia can be fatal.
