2009-11-12T14:38:00.000-08:00

Resistance Band Squats
1. Start by stepping on the resistance band with both feet shoulder width apart.
2. Hold the resistance band at shoulder level with both hands. Start into a full squat while holding the band at shoulder height.
3. Return to the starting position and repeat.

Triceps Extension with Resistance Band
1. Start by holding the tubing in one hand and placing that hand behind your back.
2. Now grab the other end of the band with the arm that is over your head.
3. Extend the top elbow until your arm is fully extended.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat for the prescribed repetitions.

Lateral Rows with Resistance Band
1. Step onto resistance band with feet hip width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Start position: Grasp ends with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Arms should hang down to sides with elbows slightly bent.
3. Raise band to side of body at shoulder height keeping elbows only slightly bent.
4. Return to start position.

Biceps Curls with Resistance Band
1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, and at a staggered stance.
2. Step onto middle of tubing with back foot or both feet.
3. Start position: Grasp ends with underhand grip (palms facing forward) with arms hanging down at sides. Elbows should be close to sides.
4. Flex at the elbows and curl band up to approximately shoulder level. Keep elbows close to sides throughout movement. 5. Return to start position.
6. Remember to keep back and head straight in a neutral position throughout movement. Shoulders should be stabilized by squeezing shoulder blades together slightly - only the elbow joint should be moving.

Something I stumbled upon that totally made my day:
FATASS TO BADASS

2009-10-19T16:18:00.000-07:00

I noticed that in my case, in order for me to be successful in maintaining a healthy diet I have to eat right CONSTANTLY. Like, if I eat right until 3 o' clock then I have a slice of cake or something.. the whole day goes down the drain.

That's what I did today =\ So I think for right now, I have to ban any unhealthy foods entirely. That is, until I learn how to have some self-control.

PLAN

Before you eat that cookie, ask yourself this:

1. Is that cookie worth it?
*You're going to have to burn off everything you eat.. is that cookie worth the mile you have to run in order to burn it off?

2. If I eat this, how will I feel about it by the end of the day?
*Are you going to regret it? If you are, then don't eat it!

Put everything into perspective.
It's all about self-control.

Again, I don't really want to put into numbers how bad this day was, in terms of eating. I ate what I wanted to eat without any concern. I get released early from school every Wednesday. That also means that we eat lunch extra early as well. 10:30 to be exact! That's not lunch! So it messes up my whole schedule =\ In addition to that I had a tennis match which means an abundant amount of snacks. I know, I know, I shouldn't eat them. I need to figure out what I'm going o do on match days and on Wednesdays when my schedule is all screwed up.

I definitely deserve a cold shower tonight, again.

Some dried fruit and nuts (75)

Hm, I don't really want to calculate how much I ate today.. haha. I'm definitely going to take a cold shower tonight.

*So today I went on a carb-feast, wait no, just a feast. Not too good, I think part of it was me binge eating after eating such a crappy lunch. Celery wasn't my first option! But I really wanted to try not eating so many carbs (haha, that worked out well) and I didn't know what else to bring for lunch. Tomorrow, I'll try packing a better lunch.

I have a plan for the next week. I'm just curious as to how it turns out!

Extremely low carb, high protein diet~
As in, each meal is going to be 50% vegetables, 35% protein, 15% carbohydrates.

I'll follow this diet to the T along with light cardio and see how it goes. I doubt I'll be able to start running this week.. my dad wants me to wait so he can get new tennis shoes. So instead, I think I'm going to skip rope and do other various at home exercises. ie: six minute abs, planks, pushups, squats, etc.

Some random sites that I found useful:

WILLPOWER IS A MUST

2009-08-29T07:57:00.000-07:00

Just some things I've learned in the past that you should always try to keep in mind

-Don't make a sob story about your insecurities.. no one will cry with you. Complaining isn't going to do anything for you except maybe waste your time and ruin your self-esteem.
-You're at the weight you're at because of your own actions, or lack of actions. No excuses! And no more blame on anyone else/anything/any other circumstances.
-Make a consious, all out effort to change things. If you desire to lose weight that badly, then really, there isn't anything that can stop you. Don't say that you don't have the equipment, you don't have the time, etc. If you want it that bad, then you will FIND an alternative and MAKE the time.
-Don't expect anyone else to "help you" when you can't even help yourself. Those first few steps need to be taken on your own. You got yourself into this, you need to get yourself out.
-Stop waiting for an ideal situation to start changing your lifestyle, the time is now! The only time there ever is, is now. So many people wait until their at the brink of disater to spur their action. By then, they've dug theirself into a hole so deep it makes it 3948723498x harder to reach their goals.
-Why cheat your diet? You're only cheating yourself.
-Never give up! How many "30 day challenge" threads have you seen? How many of those people do you think actually followed through until the end? It's not so easy, if it were, there wouldn't be so many people with a weight problem.
-So you can't eat what your dad/brothers/friends do.. so what? Your circumstances are different, accept that because you can't change it. Accept it, and work with the situation the way it can only work FOR YOU.

Before you eat something you know you probably shouldn't, think to your self: is it really worth it? Put everything in perspective and ask yourself if you'd rather have that piece of cake or a life time of healthy living and a six pack?
