One Friday morning, while working out at the gym, I mentally slaughtered myself for my high caloric consumption during the past two days. Cake, ice cream, pizza and roti were all devoured within short intervals, one dish after the other. Every remnant, from solid to plasmic form, consumed within 48hours. Did I mention I ate a lot of cake? Well, the excuse is, I celebrated my kiddo's birthday. I over indulged and now I am paying not only the mental price but of course I gained some unwanted pounds. To date, I am pushing a little harder than usual, more cardio, heavier weights and plenty of garlic for those vampiric cravings (more vegetables).
Longer Cardio
So as you know, I don't do too much cardio since I am trying to achieve the renown Brazilian Miss Bum Bum competitor or the IFBB Wellness athlete type of look. If someone, with a healthy diet of course, does a lot of cardio exercises he/ she tends to look very lean and slender without much muscular curve. Whereas, if one does less cardio workouts with sufficient weight lifting and rest, he/ she tends to bulk up beautifully. However, I needed to move my cardio from 5 - 10 to 15 -25minutes to shreds the unnecessary fat I had gained from my two day splurge.
Heavier Weights
It's very simple, the more weight, the less repetitions the quicker you shred. There is no need for a mathematic equation here.
Increased Fibre Intake
According to scientific research, the more fruit and vegetables you eat the less you crave junk (all the good stuff). It is believed that the roughage contained in fruits and veggies keeps the body satisfied for longer periods as a result of the digestion process. I am not the biggest fan of vegetables, especially since I don't cook them as tasty as the restaurants do, but I can attest to feeling satisfied after large servings of broccoli, carrots and spinach. Fibre, is also great to relieve bloating and constipation, so I on the fibre train!
So there you go, more insight into my roller coaster fitness journey! To sum it up, I am now running my a$$ off, pumping mad iron and making love to the royal throne more often.
Below are a few pics for you to scrutinize..enjoy!
