Journey, Not A Destination

Who cares about what the number on the scale says? You are the only one who knows what you weigh. Let me ask you this.

Would you rather be 125 lbs and look like shit or 150 lbs and look amazing?

The number on the scale means so little.

Let me know how HIIT works out for you. And start using free weights.

Thats an easy question! I am going to take measurements tonight before going to work out and compare each week. Will let you know how the HIIT goes, I will try it tonight. And the free weights... ugh, even though I will have to go in the weight room will all of those muscley guys and look like a dork!:eek:
 
Yeah I heard it was good to stick to consistent eating (same thing, same time of day, for a while) for some reason--I guess because you won't be inclined to over-eat?

Personally, I like to switch my diet up. There are many reasons for this. Mainly though, I get sick of eating the same things day in and day out. Also, there are times where I need to modify my diet based on training needs.

However, I know some people that adhere to their diets better if they eat the same thing everyday. I don't have a problem with this either, as long as they are getting their basal macro and micronutrient requirements.
 
yeah eating the same thing day in and day out can get old alright.

I try and mix it up a bit - add in things and remove things that i usually have. the same for exercise :D
 
Ok, I tried my first HIIT on the treadmill hands off tonight... I think I done it right... tell me if I didnt...

I done 10 intervals (30 minutes), 5 minutes of warm up walking at 2.5 MPH, no incline, 2 minutes of walking at 3.5 MPH, and then 1 minute of a run at 6 MPH, by the end of the minute I was out of breath, but towards the end of the 2 minute walk, I was breathing easy and ready to go again. 5 minutes of cool down walking at 2.5 MPH.

If this is right, it was alot of fun. I think I could even manage to bump up the 6 MPH to 8 MPH or set an incline next time.

Let me know if this is right.

Much agreed. Stagnation can be a terrible thing.

So did you do 10 intervals at a 2:1 ratio? 2 minutes walk, 1 minute run, 10 times? Is that it?
