Didn't do it

I was suppose to work out today, but I didn't. I was so hungry so I had 2 lunches, and I ate a huge chocolate at night. I feel so guilty that my work out tomorrow will be ten times tougher than ever.
Trust I will NOT give up

Motivation?

Am I really motivated? yes! Sometimes... Maybe... I wasn't yesterday... will I be tomorrow?
maybe.. I think so... Yes!

the very last minute post

Hey guys! It's 6:00 AM Wednesday!! I am writing a post before class so I don't miss the deadline for the week!
Today, my schedule is so packed, but nothing will stop me from working out. I learned that one hour a day doesn't hurt.
Anyway,
See you in class!!!

Easy Home Exercises

Hey everyone,
Today's work out involved creativity, since I could not make it to the Gym. There is one important method of intervention that public health professionals seem to forget, what I like to call : the Easy Home Exercises or EHE. EHE's are simple exercises that anyone, at any age, and almost in any physical conditions can do, and get calories bunred, and muscle built. step 1: drink one cup of orange juice. step 2: 30 minutes after drinking, start exercising at home for 30 minutes only. step 3: eat one serving of healthy food, rich in protein, and super-low in fat. when it comes to step 2, what I did was the following:
- 3 sets of 20 regular push ups
- 3 sets of 20 push ups with hands in the middle under the chest
- 3 sets of 20 push ups special for the sholders
each set is followed by 15 set ups, and a resting period of one minute.

after this EHE I was sooooooooooo sore, but it was one of the best work outs ever! If you are unable to do regular push ups, I recommand that push ups with knees touching the floor. you can also put your hands on a chair, and do push ups easier.

Concerning my last work out

Ok to be totally honest with you, my last work out was not fun at all... I have no idea why I felt that way, but it was more like "Oh... today I need to work out my arms... ok...? so...? hmmmm"
Any suggestions to make my work out a little more entertaining?

An ew Beginning

Hi guyes! I just recovered from my back pain. I know that I have not posted anything last week, ans that's because I have not been following my goal due to this back pain. But guess what?? I spent today 2 hours working out and I felt all new again! my body weight hasn't changed, and I already went from 152pounds to 155 pounds. I still need 2 to 3 pounds, and I'll be totally satisfied.

Back Pain!

As you all know, my goal has always been to gain a few pounds of muscles. This in fact involves undergoing serious heavy weight lifting. It has been great for me until 2 days ago, when I tried the so called "dead lift" and had one huge back pain that is still killing me! I have gained 2 pounds until know, and I feel very proud. I still have 3 pounds to go, and I don't want such a obstacle to stop me. It has been challenging due to that back pain, but I am sure I can find specific exercises that won't bother my back. Once my back feels better, I will make sure that I buy this special belt for weight lifting, and start the dead lift at a low weight and increase the weight gradually.

I hope this would be a good plan to face the challenge!

eating plan =)

Ok I totally forget to give you all my eating plan for gaining muscle waeight. Here it is in Brief:

Breakfast: cerials and fat free milk. 6am
Snack 1: Odwala tropical juice 18g super protein. 9 am
Lunch: salmon, or a chicken salad, or a 6inch chicken subway sandwich 12pm
Work out. 2pm-4pm
Snack 2: 35g fat free milk shake 4pm
Snack 3: 6inch chicken subway sandwich 6pm
Dinner: eggs with tomatoes and fat free cheese, or a tuna salad with a protein chocolate bar.

current height: 5'8
current weight: 153 pounds.
total grams of protein per day: 155g
perfect right?
but.... the total daily cost is 18 dollars and 40cents!

So my question is, how can I eat that healthy for cheaper?!

Barriers...?

3 barriers to change. hmmmm. Here is one: where are the healthy strores!!! I live in an area where I have at least 5 fast food restaurants around me. My only savior is Subway, and my own mediterranean cooking. But what about the days when I have to spend at least 5 hours on campus? I decided to only drink juice when i'm on campus, and have with me some protein pabrs. Also, Odwala seems to be one of the best juice brands, and they have super protein juice with many Vitamins. I just love it.
I don't see any barriers when it comes to my case, since I am totally finding time to work out, and I do it from the bottom of my heart :)

the Video!

Hey guys. I know... I know... I won't denie it... I've been lazy lately. I skipped one day of work out, and I feel I should let you all know exactly what my work out plan is. this link takes you to the video of the plan: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1078986737

Also, with the plan, I have been eating double the amount of proteins, and I quit eating cookies and chocolates. (it used to be my weakness). I haven't eaten one cookie or chocolate since the beginning of this class. so wish me luck to stay like this!

Week of Monday 26th!

Ok guys, I basically talked about my motivation while talking about the person who has been inspirational to me. But for this week, I will be talking about the person who has been really supportive of me as I attempt to work out more. My girlfriend got so excited knowing that I am doing this, and she couldn't stop mentioning the many work out plans that I can do. So today's work out is going to be for her. I will work out her favorite muscle part in guys: the shoulders!! ;)
Alright PM 562, get ready to see me growing those shoulders…

Motivation

For this week, I will be talking about my motivation. It is of course important to be motivated to behave in a healthy manner. What motivates me the most is my father. In fact, he used to smoke so much to the point that he got a heart attack, and had to go to the hospital for an open-heart surgery. The doctors told him not to jog, so he started working out by taking long walks every morning and every night.
If I could be as perseverant as he is, I am certain that I will end up achieving my goal.

My Goal in depth and my plan

Ok, soooooo I've always thought i needed some more muscle weight, and I used to be called the skinny guy for a long while..
so i've decided to work out rigourously, and eat better at the same time.
My plan is the following:
work out 3 to 4 times a week
each time a muscle or two, for one hour and a half. The exercises envolve sets of heavy weight with low number of repetitions.
First day: pectoral muscles+ abs
Second day: shoulder muscles+ abs
Third day: arms muscles+ abs

what do you guys think?
