Today marks the day of a loooong and hungry 30 days. I must admit, though I keep some form of calorie cutting going to stay relatively lean, it has been a tasty summer. Yum. If you know me, you know I'm a fan of sweets. Cake, cookies ice-cream - all the good stuff. However these food items have managed to accumulate a good layer of fat on me in no time flat. Even as hard as I work out - you can't burn off a bad diet. And since memorial day, a bad diet it has been. Even the pros fight off the fat. See - I am human!!!
I think the fact that I'm in summer school has been the most to blame. I'm enrolled in a writing intensive class that uses just about every spare minute of free time. When I'm supposed to be doing cardio, I have to write paper after paper and when I write, I like to munch. Since there really isn't much food in my house, I've found myself munching on as many as 7 protein bars a day. Yes, protein can - AND WILL get you fat if you eat enough of it. All coupled with the fact that I sit there sedentary most of the day and write; is the kiss of death for my 6 pack.
Good news is, the class is over in 2 weeks. One more research paper, one more exam...and I am done!!! Only then will I truly be able to focus on me.
Nothing sparks the interest of a diet like a Greek Isle cruise, which is where I'm going in 30 days. I HAVE TO LOSE THIS FAT by September 14th, my day of departure, to look and feel my best -and I want you all to follow along with me! All my screw ups, all my workouts, my diet...everything will be posted here - along with plenty of motivating and not so cute photos of "In the Beginning".
Well fellow bloggers, here they are in their full glory.
I've got a good 10mm of body fat on my abs and around 25mm on my lower back as posted in the pics. Definitely not cute. But stick with me, I will try my best to write each and every day my successes and failures in trying to lose more fat in one month than most people lose in 6.
