Questions from you:
1~I don't have the motivation, what makes you motivated?
I have not always been motivated to work out as hard as I do... I look at pictures of female bodies that I would like to look like... what I think is good looking and what I don't want to look like... I see different things in those pictures than I did a year ago, so it may change. Always go back and see what more can you do to make yourself better... Also find a buddy to work out with, make it a competition (biggest loser)...Map out what you want to do, all the goals you have and how to reach them- and do it.
If you don't want it bad enough nothing will change!
2~Is tuna all you eat?
I eat a lot of tuna plain-its what is easiest for me and fast. You can mix it up, you don't have to just eat tuna. Peter has eggs, ground turkey, and any other kind of meat before tuna. Just make sure you intake plenty of protein (Females 1grm. for every 1lb you weigh, Males 1.5grm. for every 1lbs.= A Day). My new favorite thing to eat is shrimp!!!
3~I am at a plateau with my weight, what do I need to do?
Change things up! If you seem to be a plateau and can't get any more weight off after you started to lose some, change your work out or change up your diet some more. It will help, your body will start thinking your work out is normal and then it's not a work out any more... Peter and I like to do 6 weeks of light weight, high rep and then the next 6 weeks do heavy weight, low rep-- keeps you sore:)
4~Is there any other way to lose weight besides doing those silly things the trainer has me do that I know I won't do by myself?
ha ha If you have a trainer and you don't like what they have you do, tell them that... say your uncomfortable and would like to try some new work outs with free weights. Trainers do know best, if you haven't studied fitness listen to you trainer! Just make sure you communicate...because there are other ways, but I am sure I look silly doing some of the work outs I do and I just don't care! So maybe try that... DON'T CARE! Do what ever it takes!!!
5~How do I lose my tummy?
Abs, What you Eat and Cardio!!! Do 8 min. abs off youtube.com every night plus weighted abs when ever it fits in your schedule! Make sure you are eating right, healthy foods are smart!!! Get up and move... the more you get your heart rate going the more you will lose... (you will reach a point that it will be all diet to get better abs) I have seen plenty of women have babies and still look fantastic!!! Be healthy before and after the baby, it helps you and the baby!!!
6~I just started eating a lot more protein and working out, I am gaining weight is that normal?
YES! when you eat all the protein you are also taking in a lot more calories... so it is normal that protein is building your muscle so you will weigh more but once you get your body trained the fat will fall off! I gained and then at first I was losing 10lbs every 3 weeks... it's ok, because it will slow down but keep it always dropping! losing 1.5lbs a week is at a good rate!
I don't know a lot of you that follow my blog or my face book but thank you so much for the support!!! If you want to know any other information make sure you ask!? I want to help you out, and everyone is different!
