Greetings,
I'm a 33 Year old Male.
I will start with what drove me to make this life change. Mental Disability really messed up my desire to move around a lot. I would see the gain coming on and turn a blind eye and kick myself.
I had enough of beating myself up. Early December, my doctor gave me some antidepressants that gave me an odd boost / high. Unlike the others I used. I felt energised and changed. A year prior, I bought a tread mill and it sat in my room. A very nice Nordic Track. It would also visually remind me to do something about it. I went from my size 30 waist at 135 lbs, to 38-40 waist at 222. Something had to be done. Within a week of those anti-depressants and the cardio making me feel better, I stopped taking them and the depression faded with the exercise.
My friend in December gave me tons of health, nutrition, weight lifting and cardio documentaries, pdfs, videos etc when I declared war on fat cells by changing my cellular vibration.
I've taken my metaphysical studies into my body further and I use that in my workouts. It is now February 1st, and I can feel some weight coming off. Some jeans I bought that were too small are fitting. Some shirts that did not even fit me in December are wearable.
My junk food diet is gone. I eat lots of greens, drink the 1920ml of water a day, I eat fruits etc. My food intake is excellent.
My workout right now is 5-6 days a week on the treadmill. I power walk at 3mph with a 7.5 incline burning 500 calories. I went from having troubles with my knees and feeling weak, to this returning endurance that feels wonderful. I am starting the P90X Lean workout today and as scared as I am, I am ready now because my body is used to good cardio. I have a weight bench too which will be incorporated.
There is only ONE down side that I am feeling and I wonder if anyone could help me with some tips. Sundays are my day off to either stretch, or do nothing and have a little bit of chocolate, etc.
This is my dilemma. On this day off, I feel like I am slacking off and not doing what I should be, which is burning another 500 calories. I feel like I'm going to gain weight for this one day off, or that my muscles will weaken and I will fall behind.
Can anyone give me some advice in how to change this negative thought pattern that plagues me on my days off?
That would be wonderful. Thank you.
Sincerely,
xxPHAROSxx
