Journey to a Fit Lifestyle 1.0

So I have come to accept that I am FAT! I gained 34 lbs in about 4 months after I have neglected working out and every other thing I had been doing to stay fit since I moved to New Jersey in August.

I can blame it on a bunch of things like I didn't go to the gym because it's far as hell and I don't drive. I do not have that excuse anymore because I have to opportunity to go to the gym 2-3 times a week with a friend. Yay Yolanda! She also offered me the garage which is heated, with a large TV so I can use her T25 program which is actually good. 

I also have weights, mats, stability ball and workout programs with my Cable subscription which I have not used. I plan on doing so.

I have a juicer... I will resume using that. I will provide you with my pre-workout juice recipes and meals I have used.

At one point during the summer amateur body building was in my dreams. I think I absolutely gave up on my imagine and it has absolutely indirectly messed with my self esteem and I don't even think I realized that until now I am writing this blog post. 

I just measured and weighed myself and I am disgusted. This shit is ridiculous and I can only blame myself. Blogging is probably the only way I'll stick to this thing. 

Current Stats	Goals
Weight: 186 lbs	150-153
Hip: 46 inches	39-41
Waist: 34	27-29
Bust: 36	36

My goal is to loose 34 lbs, keep fit, get as toned as I was before and stay like it. My goals are based on well what my stats were about 6 months ago. I figured if I was there it's a great possibility I could get right back there. 

I am also giving myself a 4 month deadline to reach my first goal (8.5 lbs/month) and then create a lifetime series on this blog called A Fit Lifestyle.

I have done a bunch of stuff to loose weight before because I'm a person who hates sticking to a routine and it's fun to change it up... What will remain the same is 

• I have done a fruit and vegetables only  for 5 days 
• Being a Vegetarian so to speak 3-4 days a week for 2 months.
• Alcohol only 2-3 days a week
• Eating extremely small portions of food
• 75-100 sit-ups/crunches for 2 weeks
• 50 push ups a day for 2 weeks
• 50 squats a day for 2 weeks
• Pole dancing

Just an absolute bunch of stuff and crazy challenges. (Thank Tribesports for that) I plan on doing all of these again. 

My first challenges and plans are: 

1. Being a Vegetarian 3 Days a Week for 2 Months Challenge. (hopefully I can commit to a lifetime change as in being a vegetarian 3 days a week for life not a full blown vegetarian). The days are going to vary each week of course. Today is my start day. Dec 19th, 2013 - February 20th, 2014. 
2. Working out at least 5 days a week 
3. 75-100 sit-ups and crunches for 2 weeks challenge. 

I will give you an update every Thursday, juice recipes here and there, and a weigh and measure in every two weeks. To show you my progress. I also take OxyELITE Pro by the way. I will also provide links and information for the exercises I have done.

If you have any questions, need advice or anything. feel free to contact me. I am not a professional, but I do know how to count calories, I know what foods are bad and I know how to workout and find resources for the knowledge I need. (I have just been lazy) 

Please consult your physician before starting any diet plans or exercises. 

Women Are Turned Off By... Part 1

As a woman I know what makes me do a complete 180 from a guy. Bad teeth, no ambition, immaturity and the list goes on. I was always wondered what makes other women get turned off from a guy. And Guys if you want to know why we go the opposite direction or put you in the famous "Friend Zone".. Here it is!

1. Men that sag their pants. I don't need to see your ass. Any man I'm dating should be a role model for children in today's world. You can not do that with your ass exposed!

2. Not dressing appropriately when required. It is important for a guy I am dating to be able to dress appropriately. I go to church and I would like to be able for him to come with me and look the part. It is recommended that he knows how to like a gentleman.

3. Poorly Groomed Hair. I despise dirty, unkempt hair and facial hair. If a guys hair is not groomed I find it disgusting.

4. Abusive, Controlling Men - If a guy was abusive or controlling towards me... A sorry is not recommended, because it won't be accepted. I'm out.

1) Ego: The number one turn off for me is an egotistical man!

2) The Workaholic: It's important to work, we all have bills to pay, but when all there is to you is work, Houston we have a problem. Your cellphone getting more conversation than me at dinner is a turn off...

3) Bad Hygiene: Personal hygiene is a huge thing for me... Not only is bad hygiene a turn off, but spraying yourself with enough cologne to suffocate me is also a turn off...Here's a tip, it's called bathing

4) Shitty Attitude: Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching? A negative attitude is a huge turn off, this will make me excuse myself to go to the bathroom and you'll never see me again! Change my number and all...

5) Dreadful Personality: Personality is major component of any relationship. We all know that's one the key things that employers look for and it's also one of the key things that can turn me off from a person. Lacking a personality shows that we'll never have any fun together but having too much of a personality can also be a turn off...

Men Are Turned Off By... Part 1

I  always wondered what characteristics and qualities guys found repulsive in women. So I went on a mission asking single men, men in relationships and married men, of many different ages and backgrounds what their turnoffs are when it comes to women. So Ladies, if you're wondering why he left you, why he doesn't like you, or why he doesn't take you seriously... Chances are the answer is here. Here are the first two responses:

1

1. Women who need the validation of a man to confirm their self worth. Like yes you may like a particular guy, but if he doesn't want to be with you anymore, why would you think that you are worthless, and not worthy of good things?

2. WOMEN WHO SMOKE CIGARETTES. I have enough things to worry about with growing old with someone than have to worry about her self inflicting long term illness.

3. Women who center their whole world around their man. It is the MOST FOOLISH thing a woman can do. Not to say you should not cater to him but when even your spare time is only about your man then there is a problem. How can you not have a hobby of your own. How can you not have your own interests. You were born alone for a reason.

4. Women that are always bored.

5. Women who have marriage as their end goal. As in that is all they dream about and that is all they want. They will compromise themselves just to say that they are married. And they are never satisfied unless they are married.

6. Women who use sex as punishment, or some form or reward. Holding out because of time constraints, or because the man "acting up".

1. Lazy Females is the #1 turn-off in my book because; don't get me wrong there are a lot of smart women out there but they are lazy to commit to the actions. These women tend to be lazy with everything they do work and even with their own children Example. THIS SHIT... no way in hell my mom would have let this go down. Come on ladies!!! #DIEBITCHDIE
