I'm new, I'm ready, and I LOVE ICE CREAM!
Hi y'all! I wonder why I never tried this before!
Anyways, my name's Simone. I live in Utah, and I'm currently jumping through hoops and working my butt off to get my therapeutic massage license. I'm here because I've tried for a very long time to lose the few extra pounds that keep me from achieving my ideal body. Along with massage therapy, I'm looking to get certified to be a personal trainer as well. It's really important to me to reflect the body outwardly as I see it inwardly, AND to be an example to my clients.
Losing weight, per se, is not important to me. My body fat percentage is what's truly important, and I've pretty much got a good idea of what I need to do in order to reach my goal. The problem is... I have no support!
I'm an example of someone who has a friend that doesn't so much give him motivation as much as permission not to have to do anything about it. For instance: I'm naturally not someone who needs dessert, or rich, delectable foods, or anything like that. I've done it before, lost like one or two percent, but then I hang out with friends (who are genetically blessed to be slim, trim, and gorgeous) who believe that dessert is the most important meal of the day! So what happens to my fitness plan? It's completely disrupted!
I'm not blaming my friends of course, because they can eat whatever the hell they want and not have to worry, mostly. I ultimately blame myself for giving in to the temptation of ice cream and donuts, and being so skilled at sitting in front of a computer coloring artwork all day, it takes little effort to ignore my workout routine.
SO, what I really need... Is inspiration, motivation, and positive enouragement-ation. That's why I joined this forum! I plan to get back onto my program, plaster the walls and ceilings of my home with underwear models, and start working out again. I just need to figure out where I can find underwear models and get them drunk enough to allow me to plaster them to the ceiling in the first place... :O Okay... PICTURES of underwear models. I'm not that cruel.
My body fat percentage right now is around 22%, and my goal is at LEAST 12%, but ideally 8%.
My eating times increase, but the meals get smaller, and a daily goal is to eat my weight in protein and carbs by the end of the day, and have eaten at least 20% my weight in fats.
Okay blah blah blah I talk too much... Anyways, I'm glad I found this forum! And I hope I can find the encouragement and motivation I need to Just Say No to Ice Cream regardless of what my friends are eating!
