Weighing yourself isn't a good way to measure fitness.

[xenocate-blog]

zoraeria:

Since there have been a lot of post of exercising and stuff, thought I might make this for people who are interested.

Muscle is 18% denser than fat. You’re more likely to gain a few pounds while you workout (but you’ll be sexy). Not to mention you need to keep in mind water weight. So the scale really isn’t a good representation of actual fitness. 

Using a scale will probably make you feel dejected because of your ‘sudden gain in pounds’.

Okay, so first thing’s first, this list is going to be straight up man. I’m not gonna bullshit you, I’m just trying to get you on the road to becoming a motherfuckin’ beast. You ready? Al-fuckin-right.

Mentally:

Create your superhero alter ego and/or become a superhero. Getting in shape does not have to be boring and tedious. Have fun with it. You want to pretend your Thor? Batman? The Flash? Or maybe your own character? Do it, but STICK TO IT. I will elaborate some more in the fitness section, but just rile up that motivation into a symbol. A character you can slip into when you’re weak.

You’re going to have it want it. You’re going to have to grit your teeth and say, “I want this fuckin shit and I’m going to motherfuckin’ get it goddammit, and if you get in my way, so help me god I will smite you.” You are the boss. You run the shots. Prepare yourself.

Have someone you want to cosplay as? Let that be your fitspo. Now for me, that would be the ever vicious Maria Hill. Yours might be Orihime from Bleach or maybe Natasha Romanoff, but whatever the case is, have them be one of your reasons to get out and kick ass. Stashing some pics on your HD won’t hurt either. 

Computer-Wise:

Start a fitness/health tumblr. Not only does it motivate you, but it also provides useful health and exercise tips! Even superheroes need motivation. Besides, we all fuckin love tumblr, why stray from it? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 

Get a My Fitness Pal account http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ You can track your daily intake with this handy dandy site! Think of if as the JARVIS to your Tony Stark. They even have apps for your iPhone/Droid so you can take it with you on the go! They really have every food you can think of. Raw foods, fast food, rare foods, foreign foods, you name it! Not only that, but you can also keep track of your weight and exercise! It’s a super handy tool for anyone looking to lose weight. 

Create a bombass playlist for your workouts This is actually really really fun. Sit down and gather some of your most vicious music and compile it all together in one hardcore playlist. Trust me, when the bass drops or the beat kicks in, you are going to WANT to start movin’ 

Nutrition:

Stop. Drinking. Fucking. Sodas.  Yes, even the diet ones. Aspartame gives you motherfuckin cancer in the long run and it tastes like shit, so why bother? Sodas are the fuckin devil man. Not only are they PACKED with sugar, but they hold NO nutritional value. Shit is wack. Once in a while is fine, but I mean if you’re chuggin down moutain dew’s like you’re about to run for the olympics, that shit has got to stop. I’m serious.

Stop drinking those fruity motherfuckin juices You know that shit is also packed with a fuckton of sugar. Like the sodas, once in a while is okay, but if you do, don’t have a shit load of it. Have like a cup. All this goddamn sugar is going to FUCK YOU UP when you work out. If you want to be a beast, well you better start eating like one. On that note… 

Control your goddamn portions. Infact, half it. Unless you’re Volstagg, you have to control your intake. Now, I’m not saying you have to have teeny tiny little bites, but just start eating half of what you normally eat. This is super easy to do without having to sacrifice much.

Gonna have a bag of chips? No, fuck you, you are not having those chips. Like everything on this list, I mean it in moderation. Indulging is fine, but you have to cut out all the things you are consuming on a DAILY basis. Processed foods are just all around bad news, so try to cut it out from your intake if you can, or at least reduce it to a minimum.

Okay, okay, so you want that cake/cookie/chip/pizza? Plan to have it. The keyword here is plan. Now I’m not saying to reward yourself with food, you’re not a dog, but once in a while you deserve a break from your diet. Not only will it help you from binging, but it will also deviate your normal eating pattern. This is awesome because your body will think, “Aw shit, what’s this? Fuck, now I have to work twice as hard to burn this up,” and metabolize food a lot quicker. 

Jesus fucking christ Ina, with all these restrictions, what the fuck am I supposed to eat!? Fruits. Veggies. Nuts. Protein. I know right now that doesn’t seem like a lot in your head, but there are SO MANY FRUITS, SO MANY VEGETABLES, SO MANY NUTS, etc. and an ENDLESS list of possibilities to combine them. If you are going to become a superhero, eat like one. Fuel yourself as if you’re going to fight Loki and his goddamn poledancing skills. Gotta straighten your intake out man.

Plan out your meals. Like I mean just take a hour from your life and sit infront of your fridge and just fuckin look at your food. The healthy ones man, don’t get ahead of me now. Become an Iron Chef and mix nuts and veggies to create a delicious salad. Or maybe some fruits and cheese? Maybe some granola and whole wheat pretzel sticks? Etc. Tune in with your inner nutritionist and create meals just for you. Trust me, it’s a lot easier when you’re tempted to grab a handful of cookies to just get your packed lunch and eat. 

Don’t eat after 6 pm or at least 4 hours before your bedtime.

Now for the fun part.

Fitness:

Run.  Now I know some of you are groaning right now, but this is where your superhero persona and hardcore playlist comes in handy. Let me set the scenario: You are in the middle of a concrete jungle, shit is suddenly blowing up everywhere and BAM, you get a call from your Avenger cell that that bitch Loki is blowing up the goddamn city. You’re Thor and you thought your brother was as good as dead. You’re full of mixed emotions. Confusion, anger, relief, all these intense feelings. Nick Fury is on the other line, mad as fuck, yelling, “AVENGERS. ASSEMBLE,” and what are you going to do? You’re not going to fuckin brisk walk over there, you are going to RUN. You are going to run until your lungs BURN, but burn with the passion of seeing your brother again. And possibly beating the ever-loving shit out of him and/or fucking him senseless, but that’s really all up to you~ Creating scenarios like this really, I mean really, makes all the difference. Combine this with some bombass music and you will be tearing through streets like a fuckin beast. Now it doesn’t even have to be Avenger related, it could be anythign you want. L4D2 infected, Gordon Freeman v. Striders, whatever you want. Just make it fun.

Switch up workout routines Throws a curveball at your body so it won’t get used to the same workout. Run one day. Bike another. Weightlift the next, do crunches/situps/burpees/etc. Just vary it up.

Be active.  It doesn’t even matter if you’re going to the grocery with your mom or just making the stairs instead of the elevator, just get your ass up and move! On that note…

Workout even if you’re feeling lazy as a motherfucker. Do you think Avengers simply just decide, “Oh you know what, not right now, I’m really sort of enjoying this Michael Fassbender movie, how about tomorrow?”. Naw man, it don’t work that way. You have to be consistant. You have to be a motherfuckin beast and tear it up every goddamn day. Be a superhero.

Use this quick workout before moving into any Cardio routines: http://youtu.be/AimPOSXe7n4 I swear, you will be sweating like a sinner in church by the end of it. 

Other Quick Tips:

When you run, carry your keys with you and slide them in between your fingers like Wolverine. You can never be too safe ladies. Be alert. Remember, thumb over your fingers and punch with your knuckles.

Wear sunscreen.

Get an electronic scale and chart your weight. How often you do this is up to you, but don’t be too dismayed if it doesn’t budge, just don’t give up! I had a weight plateau for nearly 2 weeks, but I didn’t let it get to me. Just continue being a boss and it’ll work out. Also, try to weigh in the first thing in the morning, before you eat breakfast. That’s usually an accurate weight.

When dining out with friends and family, still get what you want, but half the portion. You deserve a break for your hardwork. Have fun man. 

Okay, so there are aaaaaaall my weightloss tips. Phew, what a mouthful! So far, I have lost 18 pounds and honey, I have never felt stronger. Eating right and exercising have sososososo many benefits, it just completely transforms your life. 

Now I’ve coupled this with studying and to know that you are getting better from the inside out is just one of the best feelings in the world.

Just have fun you guys, and the rest will work out itself. And remember, do it…:

Balance Booster

[petite-n-pretty-blog]

While you brush your teeth, alternate standing on one leg as you switch mouth quadrants (every 30 seconds).

Balancing develops your core muscles and may even be good for your brain.

The first tip to staying motivated is to be positive. Never tell yourself you can’t do it, or give up. Sometimes we have slip-ups and mistakes but remember that everything you do counts. If you binge- recover. Remember how you feel when you make a mistake, but don’t let the fear or guilt infect you- you are only human. So the next time you are tempted to overeat or eat at the level you were before you started to try and change your habits, remember how you will feel afterward. It doesn’t matter how you feel at that moment, force yourself to think whether this will matter to you later. Chances are, later on if you don’t binge eat that you’ll be much happier than if you fufilled that five minute craving. Put your long term goals and contentment over your short term desires. Also consider how you feel when you have a good eating day. Pat yourself on the back, congratulate yourself for having control and taking one more step towards healthy eating habits. Always keep your goals in the back of your mind. When you are eating, when you have the choice to walk or ride, when you are considering working out. Staying motivated is always holding yourself accountable. You are a strong person and you can do this. Don’t tell yourself that you can’t reach your goals because you aren’t strong enough, or that you can’t be healthy- because you can. You are not the exception. But remember. ALWAYS put the healthiness of your mind over the shape of the body. Do not risk it. It is never worth it, no matter how much you tell yourself it is. Forming or changing a habit can be difficult, but you will get there. Just never give up and give in to your urges. Distract yourself. You CAN change to more healthy habits. Focus on the reasons why you want to get healthy. DO NOT let them be negative or self-deprecating reasons, because they will make you unsatisfied and unhappy in the end. Maybe its to be strong, to be fit, to be healthy, for personal reasons (as long as they are not based on low self worth)- whatever it is, do something to keep it in your head. Write it on a paper and put it on your wall. Remember that you are strong, and you let yourself have as much strength as you think you have. Keep a food journal or keep one on tumblr and write in it every day. Relish your accomplishments. Remember, eat at least 1200 net calories a day, or the amount recommended as the lowest level for your specific body,  to create that habit. You want to create eating habits for life, not for short ‘diet’ periods, and on the way you don’t want to destroy the health of your mind. You are beautiful no matter what you weigh. Your body is a canvas, it does not determine how much you are worth.

Why eating disorders don't work.

When you stop eating food, your body stores the bad fats and starts eating the good fats. By starving yourself, you're not becoming healthy at all. When you don't nourish your body enough, your body will begin to eat the muscles; lowering your ability to burn fats.

Your body will continue to store the fat around your core to keep your vital organs warm and functioning. Your core is from your neck to your waist. Which is why you can easily tell if someone is malnourished. If they're tiny but have giant stomach, then you know something is going on with them.

Think this is bad? Well don't forget the brain. The brain will eat itself without proper nourishment. 

So instead of taking food out of the picture completely, eat several small meals a day. Palm sized would be good. That way your body is healthy and you'll be cutting back on calories.

Muscle is 18% denser than fat.

So don't be surprised if you gain weight. Don't be discouraged either. Muscle is your friend. As you turn your fat into muscle, your muscles will do their part and will help burn calories. 

The more muscles you have, the more calories you can burn.

Stay away from the red.

I remember reading this article about how red would increase the feeling of hungriness. Which is why McDonalds is so effective. The fast food joint is practically dyed red.

But as stated in Newton's action-reaction law; there must be something to balance this out.

Again, I can't remember word for word what the article said, but blue is suppose to lower the feeling of hungriness.

For effective weight loss.

Remember how you mother use to nag you to eat your breakfast? Well, the saying mother knows best is something that should not be taken as a joke. Mother gothel sang it best. Breakfast plays a key role for those who want to lose weight. In the morning, you're at your peak; you burn calories most in the morning. 

By eating breakfast, it stops you from feeling hungry later on in the day, which will result in you not stuffing your face full of food during lunch or dinner. 

Eating several meals a day as opposed to eating three giant meals a day will also help in you journey to weight loss. Much like breakfast, eating smaller meals several times a day will result in lower eating binges.

When exercising, you must take into consideration the calories you in take during the day. Simply jogging for an hour will not suffice. Doing weight training will counteract the calories you eat during the day, getting them out of the way. Then after you're done your weight training, start your cardio. This will burn the fat in your body. 

Keep a journal of what you eat. List everything you eat, even the small things like a mint. By seeing what you're eating, you'll be able to cut back on all the food you take in.

Refrain from chewing gum. It may be addicting and it may taste nice, but by chewing gum, you're telling your body that you're eating something. But when nothing is going into your stomach, you're just going to make yourself hungry - resulting in possible eating binges.

Do these before you go to bed and after you wake up.
