I will miss you but not my fat rolls

I will be going off the radar a bit until the holidays are over. I am going to some very remote places where there will be no internet, boohoo...but definitely no fast/processed food either either, yay!

I have been cutting calories and working out but unfortunately have not cut back on drinking which can have a big impact all around.....that is all about to change though.

I will kick this off with a 3 day fast, 1 week salt water cleanse, then a liquid protein diet.

It is great to kick of a life changing (permanent) diet with a body cleanse so your body can start over from scratch and the new diet will take much better and longer, hopefully forever, right!

I invented my own personal protein shake that I learned in chemistry. My professor said the best form of protein is in an egg, not soy or whey.

• 1 egg white

• (any) milk

• Milo (fiber)

• some liquid vits (B12 etc)

~shake it up or blend it :)

I will be sure to take my December 1st photo and measurements on schedule but I am not sure when exactly I will be able to post it....hhhhmmmm.....

I will for sure see you all after the holidays with some lose you holiday bulge posts to motivate you for the new year.

....and of course with my up to date progress.

Happy Holidays everyBODY.......take it easy ;)

Zombie Apocolypse

So, as we close out October's "hypothalamus awareness month" I would like to remind everyone that there is indeed a zombie apocalypse ravishing the world. Not only have there been way over 100 cases of humans attacking and eating other humans worldwide this year alone but there is the underestimated  overwhelmingly numerous population of the obese over eater. Just because you are saying, "Burger, chippies, pizza, cookies, ice cream", doesn't mean it is a far cry from, "brains, Brains, BRAINS!!!!". If you have no self control you might as well be a zombie...or a drunk...or a drunk zombie ;)

Just think of every over weight person stuffing their not-hungry face right now, do you want to be one of them, zombie? Huh, Fatty?......yes, I am talking to myself.....and NO, I don't want to be one of the fast fried, poisonously preserved, genetically modified, died and flavored fake food zombies!

I would almost rather eat "brrraaaaains" than have another bite of what is being mass produced and passed off as food but I definitely would be lacking brains if I refuse to let myself have zero body fat any longer.
So this is it hypothalamus, you have had your run and now it is my turn. I will not be your zombie, I will not be apart of the hungry hoard any longer!

A Spellish Chant

Would you really let a mere child tell you what to do? A toddler that throws tantrums and nags you at the grocery store with "I want this, I want that"?
Set 'em straight you would!

November's Goal Attained!

I am not disappointing to be reaching November's goal a tiny bit ahead of schedule. 
Of course it would be a bit more fun if I looked as (skinny) hungry as I feel....oh well, eventually the scales will be balanced ;)
Measurements: 31.5-28.5-35.5

Weight Training, Fun?

They say exercise will make you live longer, duh, that's because every minute you exercise seems like and eternity!

Stop counting reps, I use (motivating) songs and just do as many reps as I can for the duration of the song. When the song is over I move onto the next muscle group and the next song.

As long as you are pushing yourself to the breaking point, it doesn't matter how many reps. Change comes the faster and harder you push yourself, if you can't possibly do one more rep you have completed that area in need of toning for the day! Yay!...and it only took 2-4 minutes (estimated necessary song length).

How many muscles you want to do is how many songs you will need. I have been doing all my muscle groups in one go and then taking time off. Last year I did it every day and saw amazing results.

If you just want to do a little every day just do arms and and stomach one day, then legs and back the next.

Example~

Day 1: push ups

           bicep curls

           triceps (skull crushers & chair dips)

           butterfly press (if possible)

           crunches

           side crunches (laying on side lifting chest & legs slightly, so awesome)

           ab leg lifts

Day 2: squats

           lunges

           laying flat on back butt lifts (bring your abs to the ceiling)

           dead row

           reverse back crunch

Intermittently throw in some cardio like shadow boxing, opposite elbow to knee kicks, and/or jumping jacks etc. to another full song each, 3 cardio songs during your weights (I use an elastic resistance band easy for travel/storage) should be the least to keep your target heart rate going! (lets say you are using around only 3 minute songs that would only be a 45 minute workout and everyone has at least 45 minutes to look and feel amazing)

Be sure to have a warm up (light cardio) song in the beginning and cool down (stretch) song at the end.

Great classic workout song examples include: Eminem-Ass Like That, Loose Yourself ~ Black Eyed Peas- Pump It, Rock That Body ~ House Of Pain- Jump ~ Kayne West- Stronger

Whatever matches your pace appropriately, motivates you and strengthens you!

Sense Variety Not Slavery

I have spoken of variety before. There is no sense in eating a whole pizza when you can have just 1 slice instead of the whole and include a whole variety of whole foods along with the 1 slice and feel satisfied sooner. 

Don't be a sense slave!

 Or better yet lets take the variety thing a bit further and rather than over indulging in just one sense alone, use all 5 senses to the limit, all at once might not be possible but go for it ;)

• Over indulge in some oxygen by being out of breath smelling (variety of) flowers etc...
• Tune in to (a variety of) some uplifting, upbeat music that unavoidably puts a dance in your step or just focus on every sound inside and/or outside your front door etc....
• Gaze on (a variety of) nature, art, scenic views and human nature that surrounds you etc....
• Touch (a variety of) things, anything and just be aware of it's textures, let sand pour through your fingers, make a (healthy) dough, hold your hand out of a car window (of course avoiding any passing obstruction)....really feel it etc....
• ....and if you have time left, indulge you sense of taste, if what you eat is truly nourishing it will be satisfying from the beginning because there is no satisfaction in the shame of saturated fats and grease etc...

Focus....be aware

Constantly fill your senses with the constant stimuli that surrounds you instead of filling just one gluttonous sense to the brink and leaving the rest of your life empty and may be your stomach will be bit bit emptier rather than the wholeness of your well-being.

"Only a sense slave finds it torture to eat moderately.....The sense slave eats to satisfy his palate and ultimately finds himself the victim of disease. The soul urges man to discipline the palate; after a short period of demonstrations of outraged dignity, the palate gives no further trouble! Like a good servant, the sense of taste learns to be satisfied with the wholesome decisions of its master, the soul."
-Paramahansa Yogananda
