Buddha Belly

Progress!

The top photo was taken in March of this year, and the bottom photo was taken just a few minutes ago. 5-24-12 

I’m really happy that I can actually see a change in my gut and saddle bags (as I call them).  I have a Bodybuilding profile on bodybuilding.com.  You can find it in my about me section of my page. 

Today was a Bust

I’ve had a headache all day.  So, I didn’t go out in the heat and get my exercise.  I just can’t shake it.  I’m going to go sleep this off, but tomorrow is a brand new day!  I’ll just work double time.

Gearing up to Buckle Down

I’ve decided that figuring out my macros is a bit too complicated for me at this stage.  I don’t want to become so overwhelmed that I don’t do anything right and then just give up.  The most important thing I can do if figure out how many calories and protein in need in a day.

I started up a profile on Bodybuilding.com just now too.  I’m a bit too tired to finish the profile, but I really hope to connect with other FTM’s on that site.  It will be nice to get some inspiration and motivation in that respect.

I went for my walk at the park today.  I got a pedometer so I could see how far I have been walking.  It’s a cheap on, so I don’t think it’s that accurate, but it said I walked 2.3 miles today.  I think it’s close.

I need to get my body bike ready though.  There is only so much walking I can do without suffering pain.  The bike is necessary.  My goal is the get myself back on my bike in a month from next week.  So, in four weeks time from now.  If I keep at it, I think it is totally possible.

It’s more important to me than ever to transform my body.  I’ve been sick, and it’s been bad, but I’ve been having a lot of good days.  I’ve decided to take advantage of them and lose a bit of weight.  I hope to gain a fair bit of muscle too, but I’m taking it a day at a time.

Now I have to figure out how I am going to eat, and how I am going to increase my aerobic capacity.   Oh, I need to update all my stats too.  I’ll do that sometime later this week.  I have to get a nap in before I collapse. 

I keep doing this all Wrong

I’m at it again folks.  But, it’s always good to pick yourself up when you’ve fallen down.  Fall down 7, stand up 8, right?  That’s what I’m doing.

I’ve walked every day this week.  Today is my off day and tomorrow I start to up the ante a bit more.  Taking it slow and making sure not to overwhelm myself is the key.

I need to figure out what my MACROS are, but I’m a nimrod.  Does anyone out there know where I can find an easy to understand MACROS article, or MACRO calculator?

Absenteeism

I’ve been really absent these past two weeks.  I’ve just been sleeping all damn day.  The weather is starting to perk up though, so I’ll be able to start my walks without freezing to death.  I’m really looking forward to walking on a more regular schedule.  I have been to my park walking the trails here and there, but not enough to start affecting my health in a positive way. 

I haven’t weight myself, but my face is thinning out where my pelican neck is.  I plan on getting a full body picture of myself (wearing clothing) to add to my picture page, so I have that for future comparison. 

If you haven’t yet, follow me.  If you are a TRANS page and/or a healthy fitness page…I WILL add you back.

Walking the line

So, after a week long hiatus, I went out for a walk along the trails in the park I live near.  It was GREAT!!!  It made me feel a bit better about things.  I’m not going to write much, just know that I’m here and I’m not going to let myself be defeated by depression.
