Day three
Right, progress report on the EODD 7-Day Detox? You want to know how I’m doing? I’ll tell you how. Great that’s how 
Weight on the scales this morning, down further. OK, in 2 days, dropping from 172 to 167.2 is pretty huge. I felt fine, but went for my calipers all the same. And guess what? That drop was due to fat being shed from my body!
Fabulous. That’s exactly what I needed to know before setting out on day 3, because I must admit that I’m beginning to feel like a rabbit here! No protein? And no carbs either, but that’s easier to handle actually.
What am I saying here? That vegetarians are rabbits? Nope, they get protein from grains and legumes, thus their protein needs are met and they have no protein cravings. OK? This detox is simply depriving me of protein for 3 days and that’s fine, but I’m glad it’s over tomorrow I can already see the sliced egg on top of that salad tomorrow lunch …
Still, I must tell you that this is worth it. Eating this squeeky clean for 3 days is deffinitely not the easiest thing there is, but who said life was easy? Hey come on guys, if you keep doing the same thing over and over, you’ll just keep getting the same results over and over, right?
Step out of your comfort zones. Step up to the challenge. Grab the opportunity of life! Take charge of your now and later. Never mind yesterday, that’s gone, you can’t change it anyway so why even dwell on it? You made a mistake? You ate something not-so-good for you? OK, so repair the damage now and forget about it! Hit the gym, eat clean, appologize to yourself for being dumb yesterday and promise it won’t happen again – outside of the planned off-meal time that is – and move forward.
Maybe a week-long detox is for you? Have a look in the margin of my blog here, pick out Every Other Day Diet. Read it. Not just the detox part, that’s towards the end of the book anyway. Read the book. All of it. There’s the diet part of course, but there’s so much more in there. The mind aspect of any successful program. Ignore that, and you won’t get the best results you can.
But hey, if you’re not ready, if you don’t know what you want and why you want it, there’s no need to look for a road map, cause you don’t know where that map’s supposed to guide you to!
You first need to determine what you want. Then figure out why you want it. Then you can look for how to get there!
Me? I want a lean, muscular body with 14-15% bodyfat on it only. If that’s at 150 lbs, 155 lbs or whatever, I really don’t care. Because it won’t show. Only size shows, and size is most visible in the shape of bodyfat.
Why do I want it? Because I want to live fit and healthy for as long as I possibley can. I have finally found my soulmate, and I intend to spend a big number of years with him. Reason nr 2 is that I want to be an inspiration to all of you out there who struggle with your “weight” (yes, quotation marks, because the struggle is with excess bodyfat, not total weight). and reason nr 3 of course is that I need to be credible to my clients. Makes sense right?
Why would you come to me for help and guidance; Why would you hire me as your trainer; Why listen to me and trust me; if I don’t look like I know what I’m talking about? Well, I do. I used to weight 205 lbs. I had 43% bodyfat. So yes, I do know how you feel, I do now how intimidating a gym door can look. I know how hard it is to give up certain foods or treats that you’re now persuaded you need.
I am now at 167 lbs, not a huge drop from 205? Maybe not, but consider 43% fat to 20,4% fat, now that’s a more impressive number. And it’s the number that shows outwardly when people look at me. They see several sizes less of the same person. Heck, I’ve had a good friend literally bump into me and excuse herself as if to a stranger, she did not recognize me! That was a huge compliment!
Of course I still have my weak moments. Hey, trainers are only human too you know! When there’s a big cream puff sitting on the table … how do I resist it!? Well, depending on the day of the week, I may not have to Mid-week, I’m screwed, no treats. But on a weekend? Sure I can have that cream puff if I want it!
But you know what? Me, the sweet-toothed cake- and chocolate eater, I’d rather skip that cream puff, or the chocolate mousse, or the After Eights; and have a really juicy breakfast of turkey bacon, veal breakfast saussage (1 of each) 2 whole eggs sunny side up, a slice of whole wheat toast, baked beans and a grilled tomato for one weekend breakfast, than the sweets. Can you believe that? Well, it’s true.
But you have to want it. You have to know that you want this leaner body, why you want it, then look for the how. And when you find that out, just give me click and I’ll give you a hand.
