Godzilla Front
Godzilla Side
This is what I look like. Not pretty. It’s disgusting and I want to keep that mind set. The “you’re beautiful big” mentality is one of the reasons the United States is the leader in the obesity pack. The mentality allows people to be complacent with the way they are and eliminates the motivation needed to stick with a dietary and exercise program. While no one should get Paris Hilton thin, there should not be a single person who is complacent at a weight that creates problems for their health. I don’t need to be in “King Leonidas” shape (though I’ll take it if I can get it) but I do need to be in a healthy state.
Meal Plan
As far as my diet, I don’t plan to be strict in the sense of counting calories. What I’ll be strict on is the management of my portions. I’ll have 5-6 meals per day with one carbohydrate (rice, whole wheat bread, beans whole wheat pasta), one protein (chicken, lean beef, turkey, and fish), and green veggies (such as broccoli, zucchini, lettuce, and cabbage).
I’ll be drinking lots of water and pretty much eliminating all other forms of liquids with the exception of a diet coke a couple times a week.
Exercise
In terms of my workout I’ll mostly be following a routine I found not too long ago on bodybuilding.com. It emphasizes cardio as soon as you wake up and a weight lifting routine for all the body’s muscles. The man who used this program (it was a sort of transformation experiment) ended up losing over 30lbs in a 12 week period. While his results were great, I won’t set my mind to expect his progress because I know that all body’s are different. I might lose more, I might lose less. We’ll see. Nevertheless I’m raring to go! You should be too!
