I’m on a journey to my dream body
some women would kill to have that “Victoria Secret Body”
well that is my goal, and I’m going to use this blog to track my workouts and progress
I’m also going to post inspiration photos (only VS angels)
motivation quotes and workout tips
my goal is not only physical perfection but the understanding
that you can do anything you put your mind to
I believe I can accomplish this and so I will
follow me on my journey xoxo Cyn
I slept in today, which is unusual for me. I feel really good - partially from working out hard yesterday! I’m going to the gym today, but I’m not sure what I should do… any ideas? I already ran some laps today. :)
How’s everyone’s day going so far? What is everyone doing to be fit today?
I’m planning on starting a Progress Blog where I’ll post pictures and some reviews on my work outs and things I eat and some ongoing measurements and whatnot now that I’m almost ready to start my P90X training.
It’s going to be password protected so my“”half-naked”“ self won’t be at too much of a public-display.
[I will also be posting a link in a few minutes to my new fitness blog]
But it is a FITSPO-type blog, so if you’re interested in getting healthy or toned[like I’m gunning for] or just wanna show me some support [which I will GREATLY appreciate] just send me a message in my ask box and I’ll inbox you the password :)
I start p90x as soon as I can get a pair of resistance bands, just so you know. Which could be as soon as this weekend.
Here’s a link to my ask:http://andtheworldwaswell.tumblr.com/ask
and if you know of anyone that is a fitness blog or that likes following fitness blogs let them know about me, or let me know about them.
Thanks you guys, I love you all :)

“In San Diego, a physician named Douglas Richman knew something odd was happening even before the first report in 1981. He found himself treating sick gay men but couldn’t figure out what was wrong with them.”

YOU CAN'T GAIN MUSCLE IF YOU DON'T EAT.
I see all these posts from girls who’re starving themselves saying ‘Ohhh I’ll stop exercising I gained so much muscle weight I don’t want to gain weight’.
1. If it would be able to actually gain muscle when you eat only 600 calories a day, What’s the point? Muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue so you’ll look skinnier, plus muscle tissue burns more calories at rest so if it’d be possible it would only be beneficial
2. It isn’t even possible. Muscle tissue is a lot more complex than fat tissue, and the body needs more calories to maintain muscle tissue than it needs to maintain fat tissue. And think about fat tissue: Do you gain fat when you’re eating less calories than you use? NO. So why would you gain muscle tissue? You can’t build a house without material, right? So you CAN’T build muscle tissue when there’s no material (food). And when you burn 2300 cals a day (which is about what you burn when you just live normal and exercise for half an hour) and only eat 800 calories there’s no way you’ll gain muscle tissue because there’s just no material to build those muscles.
And no, there’s no such thing as turning fat into muscle. Think about it, why would your body turn fat into muscle when you’re eating less calories than you use? Making muscle is a difficult process for the body which takes a lot of energy. And maintaining those muscles takes more energy than maintaining fat. So why would your body use so much energy to make muscle tissue when there’s no energy in your body since you’re in ‘starvation mode’?
You won’t gain muscle weight from exercising when you’re eating less than you burn. That’s a fact. Stop saying stupid things that make no sense because it’s pissing me off.
