I work out on a consistent basis, in fact, I joined a boot camp class and I just finished the 7th week--I have 5 weeks left. The class is 3 days a week for an hour. I know I'm getting stronger, I can feel it....arms and legs are looking and feeling firm. The middle section, now that's a whole other story. Still got my muffin top, you know, the excess fat that hangs over your pants waist. Still got my back fat, the excess fat that hangs over your bra on your back (guys you wouldn't know about that).
So, I asked a couple of trainers what I could do to take care of my middle section. Trainer #1's suggestion is more cardio and more protein in my diet
Trainer #2's suggestion is eat all natural foods, no processed food, less sugar and more protein
My typical day consists of the following food- breakfast:yogurt, banana, egg lunch: salad, triscuit crackers, a piece of Swiss cheese snack: apple dinner: some sort of meat, veggies and I drink my share of water all day long. Every once in a while I add a cookie or some ice cream for dessert.
I think I eat healthy.....ok, maybe not enough protein, so I'll add more to my diet, I'll listen to that suggestion. More cardio? I guess I could add more. All natural food? Can only do so much of that---I need my cheese, my crackers, my yogurt, my dessert....sorry, I work my butt off, I'm going to enjoy some foods. It's not worth it to me to eat tree bark to rid my self of my muffin top and back fat.
So.....I've decided, I will do what I can to try to keep my muffin top and back fat from getting bigger----but I'm also going to live my life and enjoy the foods that I like.
My muffin top and back fat is a part of life, I may not like it.....but it's something I have to learn to live with. My middle section doesn't define who I am......what defines who I am is on the inside....it's in my heart and the love that I share, it's in my actions and the things that I do to help others.
