5 lbf of fat next to 5 lbs of muscle

i remember posting something about not losing weight but losing inches and i mentioned something about muscle weighing more than fat. and some little ignorant piece of shit tries to correct me: “what. that makes no sense. 1 lb of fat is 1 lb of muscle. it weighs the same.” hehe silly silly girl. that’s like saying, “what weighs more: a lb of feathers or a lb of bricks?” of course, they weigh the same but it takes A LOT MORE feathers to weigh 1 lb and a whole lot less bricks to weigh 1lb. just like the picture here. it takes a whole lot more fat to weigh 5 lbs than muscle to weigh 5 lbs. smh.

Exactly! Fat weighs more than muscle by volume!

Right, confession time. It seems that in the 6 weeks since I have been back into the swing of normal post wedding life I have managed to gym less and eat more.

A simple and unfortunate result is a bakery belly, I have stacked on three kgs and feeling much less toned, swollen/ plump belly, thick thighs and worst of all I have pimples. Pimples am I 14 again?

I want my flat tummy back and I want it yesterday. Good thing I I know just how to do it.

Here’s what I need A goal Some resolve A plan A journal A date

Goal = a flat tummy/a six pack/ toned arms/cheek bones/ lean lean lean and trim physique / fit will be the side effect

Resolve = just flipping well do it/ no reason not to/ stick to your guns and bloody well do it/buck up princess

A plan=start up body trim again and stick to high protein low carb/ mo more baked goods/ chocolate is off the menu/4 weeks will be all it takes then stick to the maintenance plan

a journal=my blog. I don’t care if no ones reading. As long as I am actively doing something towards my life and my flat tummy.

A date= going to sign up with my Friends for the tough guy challenge in March. Very difficult cross fit army style training session over a commando course. 6km run included…

Here goes my friends here goes.

Final post

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 07:11:41 -0400

So it took me 300 days to get very close to my bikini ready body I set out to achieve…

In between working a busy job, starting my own business and studying my masters, I tried more diets than I can poke a stick at! I ran, jumped, pushed and pulled I sprinted, I sweated and I pushed my limits I went to the gym when I didn’t want to I resisted the urge to binge (mostly) I thought about quitting daily I went up in weight and I went down in weight I struggled sometimes to be motivated I fell, I bruised, I sprained… It was not easy Then I found things that worked and stopped doing the things that didn’t.

My final results are these!

I lost 8 kgs, 74 cms and gained more than just a little confidence, I gained knowledge, perspective and worked on a habit of healthy attitudes to both food, my body and daily exercise.

I now understand what my body wants, and when it’s had enough. I understand how sugar and carbs make me want to consume more sugar and more carbs. I struggled with calorie counting and was left hungry with lite n easy. My own version of the body trim diet works rather well, for me! A mix of weights, walking, running and Jillian Michaels biometric training keeps me strong and toned!

This is not the end. It’s simply the start to keeping my body moving and my mind active! To keep the weight down and my energy up.

I want to thank everyone of my support crew members who either helped me or ran beside me… You have and always will motivate me.

Keep your own weight loss plans going, believe in your self and trust your struggle.

Thanks again everyone I will post a couple of pics to show you all the results.

Till next wedding! Nicole Sparkes

Phew!!! Another sweaty session at fitness first tonight. Feeling tuned in and toned.

Ok ok so I’m not petite. And I’m no Amazonian goddess but I’m fit as hell and feeling happy with my results.

I’m generally less wobbly, more energetic and the fittest I have been In my life.

I fly off tomorrow for 11 days in the sun. I simply can’t wait for the experience and can’t wait to share with you all photos and stories. Post soon Nik
