I’ve hit a little bit of a snag these past few weeks which is why I’ve been a bit late on updating.
I saw a nutritionist and was told to, yet again, eat more calories.
1300 on rest days and 1500 on workout days. So I’ve been doing that for about 2 weeks and Ive gained a lb. however thats to be expected until the body gets used to the calories. Its just like if you were to go from 2000 a day to 1300. Your going to loose quick at first, then your body will get used to it. Don’t get me wrong, visually and strength wise I am seeing a positive change.
I know I keep saying that I’m not interested in what the scale says, but geez does it get to me.
So far here are my change in measurements:
Waist: 33″ to 32.5″
Hips: 39″ to 40″ (I will elaborate on this more in a second.)
Chest: 32″ to 30″
Bust: 34″ to 34″ (with the decrease in the chest and bust staying the same… Women will realize that the busts actually had a 2″-1.5″ increase.)
Great news! I can finally do one full pushup and I’m only on week 4 of the program!! I can’t express how happy I am since never in my life have I been able to do an actual pushup. Well, maybe one time in my life when I had a personal trainer for about 6 months. However, took me a lot longer than 4 weeks of a program to do it.
My body is starting to slowly tone up. I’m noticing a little definition here and there that I didn’t have before. I’ve taken some before photos but I don’t want to post any until I’m finished with the Basic routine. So before and afters come about once every 10 weeks. 😛
Next week I’m going to see a nutritionist and figure out a way to fine tune a healthy maintainable diet. Not a loose weight diet, just a healthy one. I don’t really believe in loose weight diets in most cases (exceptions to everything). If you want to kick start something than go for it, however in the long run a healthy diet and exercise is what’s going to help you maintain.
