THE STORY OF LT
My Program was designed by one person for one person but there principles are endless and can be applied to anyone. I created this program by accident which ended up saving my own life in the long scheme of things. After 25 years of destroying my body through high saturated fatty food, fast food, sodas (diet or regular) and mostly a lazy approach to life I hit rock bottom. I was twenty five years old with a size 56 inch pants and a weight of 407.5 lbs when I actually made the strides to make a change. I weighed much more than 407.5 and close to the range of 420-446lbs in May 2007. But I told myself at that weight I needed to try and walk more and like every summer I would drop weight in the heat. And as usual it worked, I got down to what I thought would be good enough at 407.5 but I was wrong. I did not just wake up one morning and decide it was time to start hitting the gym everyday and lose weight. I had to basically have a wake-up call to get me motivated, and that keeps me on track everyday.
I was working in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee as a security officer. I took pride in my employment mainly because that was the only way I could get through the politics like in all jobs. After working there for over 8 or 9 months I noticed myself gaining a lot of weight due largely to the vending machines and how much usage they received from me alone. After May I decided to cut back on vending machines from my normal honey bun or cupcake every hour to only 1 treat per day and tried to do more walking when I could. After the summer was over nearing the beginning of August I thought I was in the clear and lost enough weight to make it. I was patrolling the floors one night when I stepped into the bathroom and after a few minutes I began feeling dizzy and nausea at the same time. I got myself together and went to the ER and spoke with someone in the administration telling them I might need to check myself in and get checked out my a doctor. Before I could get a pen out to write my name I began to faint into the arms of one of the women working the area. She sat me down in a chair and automatically checked me into the ER and notified my boss I was out of service. They put me in a room and ran a couple of tests and the doctor came in and basically told me I was severely overweight. I had heard this many times before in the past from other doctors but this time was different. I knew it was now the end of the road and i must make a change or i would be ded. That was the day I regained a sense of hope in myself and wanted to really try something new. I started that night going to work with an extra Pen and spiral notebook which I dubbed my journal. The first day I weighed myself I was 407.5lbs with approx. 40% body fat and a pants size 56 almost a 58 with the amount of elastic I had inserted into almost all of my pants. I started slow and told myself if I just write down what I eat and record the calories and nutritional values maybe I could understand what I was doing wrong. I told myself there is only one way this is going to be successful and that is if I am honest with myself. I started writing a list of principles for myself mainly focusing on my vices and downfalls. I began small and understood I might not lose any weight and I might gain weight because I never changed my normal routine in my life of eating whatever I wanted and not caring about the consequences. I started with the rules and soon had a new lifestyle in motion and now I just need to follow my own rules and nothing could hold me back. I told myself I would like to weight 235lbs, have body fat ranging from 12-14 percent and mainly be in a size 38 pants of smaller with in 3 years. That means I would have to burn off over 172.5 lbs of fat and build up some muscle in the process. I got started and here where the results.
MY 20 PRINCIPLES
Start out with a simple weigh in, body fat test, and body measurements and BMI Test.
Determine your goals or amount of weight I want to lose over all and then work toward small goals, determine my overall goals for your program and what I want to look like and areas I thing I need work on.
Begin a training journal to log my progress and use as a reference week by week when making progression in my personal program. I chose to write down my food along with my workouts which will help me see where my nutrition might be lacking or need some work.
No more cheating or lying to myself. If I eat it write it down everything going into the body counts no matter how little or how rare I eat it.
Sodas and high corn syrup drinks whic work against me. Hydration is vital and water is the key. I can use sugar free crystal light to flavor the water, coffee and brewed green and white tea are acceptable in moderation.
Alcohol is another vice that will only hinder my progress. The wasted calories and wasted memories given from the alcohol do not make sense. I can indulge here and there in moderation try alcohol that is better and works for you like red wine if you must have something. But no really an alcohol person anymore.
Enjoy 6 meals a day ( 3 meals and 3 snacks) go from moderate to the most of my calories mid day back to moderate at night never taking in huge portions.
During training in the gym train smart by using a heart rate monitor to know what I am accurately burning and when I am in my fat burning zone.
Know what I am eating and learn how to read the nutritional values on the labels. Understand what my body needs to survive and work properly.
Do not starve myself or cut my intake down so low that I starve myself. Remeber that the Law of Thermodynamics is to lose weight burn more calories than I consume. That does not meal do not consume 800 calories and burn more you should be eating regularly just burned everything off in the day plus more. I burn calories doing everything from taking a shower to just walking around in the daily activities.
Study proper nutrition regularly and understand the different types of foods and there uses in my program.
Study proper exercise and set-up a program to get physical activity effectively. Either a workout partner or buddy or a personal trainer if needed.
Exercise in the first month should not just be cardio everyday because to burn calories you need muscle. Begin a minimum of 3-4 days of cardio 30-60 minutes in duration and 3-4 days of resistance training in moderation. On the days you are not lifting do the bulk of your cardio, and on the lifting days do weights first then cardio in moderation. Remeber the more I train the more results I will see.
Maintain a good support system and group of friends that understand my goals and what and why I want this for myself.
Be patient and know weight may come off slow or fast it is luck of the draw situation.
When I am full I ask for a to-go box and take the portions home with me and this way I will not stuff myelf beyond capacity.
Fruits, veggies, high protein, and slow digesting carbs are the base of the program. Fat is acceptable but limited amounts of mono and poly unsaturated whic are the healthy fats and saturated fat and trans fats which are the bad fats.
No more fast food or greasy bar food. Subway makes perfectly healthy meals but only consume in moderation. Do not depend of subway for meals learn how to make my own food and what options are available.
Take picture of myself to see the actually transformation month by month. To be accurate take 5 different pictures Relaxed front, side and rear and flexed double bicep front and rear to see my changes for my own personal well being.
Enjoy my transformation of your body, mind and overall well-being.
