This is my first post on this blog, so the title of my entries will probably change. Even though we haven't officially started the Road to 6, I'm getting somewhat of a head start.
A little background:
Seventeen years ago I was on a gymnastics team where we worked out 4 times a week. I had always been skinny as a kid, so with the amount of crunches and conditioning in general that we did, it was no surprise that I had a six pack then.
Several years and cupcakes later, the six pack is still somewhat there. It's more of a 4 pack under very specific lighting. I feel that my crunches were not for not; that the abs are still in place. It's just that over the years a layer of fat has steadily been building.
My plan:
I think my journey will involve more cardio and healthy eating than ab conditioning. It's tough though when you have an office desk job. Previously I had taken thermal fat burner pills. Long ago I had tried Ripped Fuel (which I found pretty good) and Xenodrine and Hydroxycut (which I only took a few times because they made me very nauseous). Today I'm taking the Betancourt Nutrition brand Ripped Juice. I can only handle one pill (a quarter of the dosage) but find that it warms me up pretty good inside, makes my feet heat up, suppresses my hunger, and gives me a jolt of energy. So, I'm back on this supplement.
But also I'm running again. Previously at the gym, I would only focus on weight training. But now, starting today, I workout one muscle group (4 sets of 4 exercises to failure) and then either ab work or treadmill cardio (alternating days). I think this will also help me get over this gym burnout I've been experiencing by changing things up a bit.
So that's my plan. No more excuses. No more being lazy. Nom more cupcakes.
(What spelling error? I ain't giving up my cupcakes foo!)
