theomeStart Date: November 5th, 2007
Starting Weight: 215.4 lb
Starting Body Fat: 28.4%
Current Goal: 200 lb.
So I started back up on Body For Life yesterday. I had a bumpy start, but it looks like I'll slowly be able to acclimate myself to the methods of the diet and work out plan. Well...that's not entirely true. First thing I need to do is still make it to working out. I've been following the diet pretty well actually, keeping my portion control in check and eatting the right foods, most of which I had already prepared.
Unfortunately, for the work-out aspect of the program, I'm going to have to get myself adjusted to this. Mainly, it's getting myself out of the house during the daytime and afternoon to workout as opposed to at 9-10 PM at night or later. I was supposed to do my first day of anabolic workout yesterday, but I didn't end up making it due to having a very stressful evening along with having to go over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dropkickpuppy's place so that he could practically help dress me for my interview today.
Another issue I'm going to have getting adjusted to with BFL is that on the cardio days, I'm technically supposed to do my cardio soon after I get up before eating. Then not eat another hour after the cardio, and THEN I can have my first meal. The justification with the program is that your metabolism will be at its highest at that point since there will be no extra calories in your system for it to burn up for the day. Most of everything from the previous day will have been processed, and so if you workout before you eat and not eat for the hour after that, you'll burn up more calories than you would if you've had anything to eat before the cardio. Now, I'm a bit skeptical about this idea, mainly because it doesn't seem the healthiest.
Can anyone who has any experience with Body For Life give any advice or input on this?jonnywoof, this includes you. :)
Other than that, I'm kinda proud of myself for yesterday. I'm able to eat out with people and keep myself to the diet. Surprising how well you can eat at Quizno's and still eat healthily. Whole wheat bread, turkey breast, lots of veggies, red wine vinagrette, and seasoning.
See you folks later.
