...I'm back!! I was here before and was doing great.. Ended up having some knee/hip issues it put things on a temporary hold. I am still having some hip (bursitis) pain but I decided even if I can't do as much exercise as I was doing before, I don't have to be depressed about it. So I am choosing to push on! Luckily I didn't gain a bunch of weight. When I weighed myself a couple of days ago, I was around 152 or so. So back on the saddle. I'm going to start with the Regular Fat Smash, and as my body gets back stronger and my aches and pain go away, I will switch over to Extreme.
So last night I went to the store and bought the things I needed:
Lowfat Fage
apples/oranges/cantaloupe/grapefruit
prepackaged brown rice (call it lazy, but I need easy and quick right now)
boiled eggs (whites)
Will cook my lima beans/black beans tonight. I ran out of time.
It will be hard, but I am going to try not to weigh myself every day. I am so used to REALLY pushing myself in the gym, so I am hoping that I still get good results.
I think the regular smash recommends 30 minutes of cardio a day... I will have to check my book. The Extreme version has loads of exercise and that's what I am used to doing.
So, no matter what, I am going to stay on this and stay focused.. instead of looking for plans that are harder and harder (for some reason, I think I like toturing myself).
I actually ENJOYED doing this plan before, but since I started bodybuilding I had to transfer over to a plan that was more suitable for my workouts at that time. But right now, especially since I am on the "injured reserved" this really is the best thing for me... and I feel WONDERFUL while I am on it... Its actually helped me reach the smallest that I have ever been. I basically got down to 141 pounds... Then when I started on a bodybuilding plan to build muscle (and unfortunately you gain a little fat too) and went back 8-10 pounds or so..
Anyhow.. I am going to go with a start weight here of 153. (I gave icecream a last hoorah last night)
So, here goes...
and this time... Until goal baby!
Summer is coming!
I will be posting my menus daily and will also post my weight every couple of days. (I have to weigh to keep up my motivation).
So I am going to come on here as much as possible. I know that there is a general Fat Smashers Support thread, but I like to keep my focus primarily on diet/exercise talk, so its easier to track my progress. - that way its easier for me and you
to look at my menus and exercise...
It was inspirational for me to be able to come back here and see how great I did the last time. So....here we go!!
Are YOU ready too?
