"THE DISAPPOINTING IMPACT OF THE YEAR"
Conceptually, exercise is one of the main and most efficient ways to supplement fat loss, improve our cardiovascular respiration, but above all it helps people maintain a more active and productive life, which is synonymous with the fact that this helps us to balance our spirit and also have better health and well-being so that human beings promote a positive attitude, freeing us from stress and bad tension that some situations generate us.
But we know that being stable and constant is not every day, and that starting out is even stronger, but I tell you that sometimes I don't even sleep because I am thinking about the routine that I will do the next day, also what I am going to eat and if my My body is going to train better than yesterday, nor do I stop dreaming or rather I do not lose hope that one day I will be able to compete in some fitness category.
Exercise your body and mind, a spiritual connection to maintain emotional balance.
To really make exercise a fundamental part of my life, to put it in more forceful words, it is my biggest addiction, my strongest drug and only when my body is so exhausted is the day I rest but I almost always train from Sunday to Sunday. However, for me to be more organized with my workouts, I usually take one day of the week to structure my workouts for 15 days, I don't like to last with a routine for more than a month because I feel that if I do it, my body will not respond the same, It is like staying stagnant, so I am always varying with my workouts constantly less than 20 days it does not happen, the same with food, since the body when you give it always the same I feel that it does not flow properly it gets used to it and stagnates.
My main purpose is to achieve muscle definition in my body, I feel that in volume I am fine and I am satisfied with what I have but if I want to achieve marking my body, then to be able to stay constantly at that point, that is why I love to investigate reading a lot and especially writing, so as not to stay the same as always. I will tell you how I distribute my training that so far has worked for me but that later I would like to be able to find the help of a professional trainer, to help me further improve my body structure and to guide me more about what I should and should not consume.
Monday I train quadriceps, this gives me an hour of weights and at the end I do 40 minutes of cardio either in spinning or a machine that you go upstairs by stairs
TUESDAY I do first fasting cardio for 35 minutes either running or when I get to the gym I do spinning, then I go on to do my weight training which is focused on the back and triceps maybe a few abdominal exercises.
WEDNESDAY I do hiit cardio with high intensity intervals but I combine it with weights so I do a shoulder exercise and a bicep exercise and then I jumped the box or loop jump, rest 10 seconds and so on for almost two hours or an hour and a half, everything this depending on how I'm feeling.
THURSDAY this training is focused on the glutes, hamstrings and calves. All this training I do by circuit resting a maximum of 20 seconds per circuit.
FRIDAY well some Fridays I usually rest like today that my whole body hurts I trained very hard this week and my arms hurt a lot, but when I decide to train on Fridays I train chest, and shoulder with a little back and then I finish doing 35 or 40 minutes of cardio.
ON SATURDAY I do a training that I will say is very intense because I work almost the whole body until I exhaust the muscle, I work with little weight, with a maximum of 30 repetitions per exercise, all this in 3 rounds and I combine it with intervals.
SUNDAYS I just do cardio, I go for a 5k run or I just go to the gym and do 45 minutes of spinning and at the end I do 4 abdominal exercises of 4 or 3 rounds.

ALCOHOL VS TRAINING
View attachment 12917
Many people often ask me how I am going to handle the subject of alcohol and parties and be able to do my training well, since normally when you go to party or drink liquor, you eat junk food, the truth is that there are a variety of interruptions that do not help with the purpose that is being carried out; That is why I will tell you how I control this issue in my fitness life.
This used to be my number 1 concern, since the job I had was as a bartender and I always had to prepare the drinks and out of necessity I had to try some of them to know the context and status of the drink, they also used to buy me a lot of Different drinks, I accepted but then I threw them away hahaha.
Well, and the answer is yes ... BUT it's not very black and white! I generally do not drink regardless of my physical goals that I find myself is that I do not drink any liquor either when I go out to dinner and share with friends or when I go out to party, the only case that I drink some type of liquor is at a family gathering, and that is really very strange that I do it too, the reality is that I do not like to drink, it has been 4 years since I left it and I do not need it either. .
I don't even drink wine ... not because I can't, I just don't like it (I know, I'm weird but that's the way I am). Which is sad because for this reason I do not have many friends since I do not share this quality, and although I can go out and share so I do not drink, many people criticize me for this, it is sad because nobody understands me.
I will tell you the reasons why it is not convenient for me to use alcohol if your goal is to lose fat, or you are in a process of taking care of your muscles, in short, the physical objective that I have in my opinion is better to maintain alcohol consumption while MINIMAL, since this weakens the muscles due to the relaxation of blood flow, suppressing the levels and production of testosterone, among others.
However, he stressed that this is bad when it is abused like everything in life, everything has limits and levels, the response to alcohol is that it alters insulin sensitivity, which reactivates high values linked to inflammation among other causes that prevent the progress of your goals, in my case I suffer from the colon and sugar hurts me and makes me sick especially in liquor.
My opinion in this regard is that:
-When you go out stick to clear alcohols (whiskey, vodka, tequila, brandy, gin, etc.) when I feel like drinking my favorite liquor is tequila
-No sugary drinks, don't overdo it, and most IMPORTANTly, -DO NOT stop by Domino's on the way home.
-Learn to drink "right" without compromising your fitness goals!
you are doing great

I agree don't drink, that's not part of a healthy lifestyle. Keep this log going.
alcohol is horrible for the body. when you consume it is more work for the body to flush out the toxins. makes no sense when your body is trying to repair and recover itself.
Alcohol vs Fitness is something that people continue to struggle with and will forever. A big part of this is that alcohol consumption is culturally acceptable in most industrialized countries and often part of get togethers and family events.




Agreed. It wasn't until after I stopped drinking that I realized how intertwined it is in our lives. Kinda makes me sick to see now. Also sucks being the only one in my group of friends that doesn't drink. Oh well, i'm happy where I am. Can they say the same??


"No pain, no gain!
Good morning to all addicted bloggers like me and I wish you a great Thursday, I hope you are training like horrible monsters.
The hope and loyalty that we must do to ourselves on a daily basis is something that should not fail, since the commitment is with our body and with no one else, what one as a human being does not do for one, no one else will do it, no one more may have the willpower to say no to something that does not do us good but if we have the authority to say YES I WANT, I CAN AND I WILL DO IT
It is our greatest unique and personal challenge to determine our habits in the present and the future in an environment that always generates an excellent quality of life.
I also know that carrying out a complete training session is not easy, but neither is it impossible since taking these factors of our physical activity can always improve or worsen if it is not applied properly, and that is where different injuries arrive that people get bored very quickly and for Hence stop pursuing your physical goals.
Today I will say three components that should never be missing or that in my case I try to make them constant:
WILL, willingness to want to do it with self-love and not out of obligation to successfully achieve the planned goals.
SELF-DISCIPLINE AND CONSTANCE, plan everything in advance and if you leave everything in writing there is more self-control and order of your things.
ATTITUDE AND CONFIDENCE, daily we strengthen our self-esteem and confidence to try to improve our weaknesses day by day and discover great strengths.
TEAMWORK, if you have a partner by your side, be it your wife, girlfriend or family member or roommate, it is important to be able to share our purposes, our efforts and to be able to be a support for them, but that they are also your support.
In my case, for those of us who live completely alone, it requires much more effort and commitment, at first for me all this was not easy because I have almost always lived alone since I was 17 years old to be more explicit, then. It was not easy to generate this confidence and this discipline, but today I thank my mother because she called me every day so that I did not miss a day without going to train and she was always feeding me this self-esteem, supporting me in everything with my supplements with payments from the gym or coach, she also taught me how to cook over the phone she called me and told me everything, so it is possible to understand a little because today I am addicted to this life of fitness, RECALCO I AM ADDICTED TO THIS BUT I would NEVER take my body to extremes and do things that harm my health.
Today I am proud of who I am, which is part of having strengthened and applied the advice that I told you before, but that also continues to improve in me today. And it is nice to self-value and to be able to recognize our mistakes so much but above all to be able to highlight our effort and remember with appreciation our past or how we started without being ashamed.
Today as it is Thursday of #TBT I will leave you a small tour of my small physical changes, in order to be able to admire and be a source of motivation for some people who daily need to feed their confidence and self-esteem, everything can be done regardless of the goal that you have but when you work for it day after day without stopping beautiful results are achieved.

Helen this is a good log, I like your food choices, especially that omelet in the morning, looks yummy.

Also you are sooooo hot Helen.



sister yo log very good, long answers
my question is when you coming to texas?



Helen even your cheat meals look awesome, the hot dog yummmyyy











I actually use both as tools. I eat in a window of 4-5 hours each day and fast the rest. When I am eating, I try to keep carbs low. As I get older I really notice how much better I respond to low carbs.
Great job! Felicidades en tus logros!

i agree quality training is #1. you know more about training then most guys in the USA i meet in the gym. how crazy is that? maybe you had good teachers
Lev brings up a good question. how much fasting are you going to be doing?
Fast or eat low carbohydrates .. Which is better?
EVERY DAY I SEE HOW IT HAS BECOME FASHIONABLE TO EAT ON A RESTRICTED TIME OR, TO BE CLEARER, INTERMITTENT FASTING AND THE KETOGENIC DIET OR MORE KNOWN AS KETO, WHICH HAS INCREASED CONSIDERABLY IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC DUE TO STRING.
So today I come to tell you why I got tired of eating 6 times a day because I thought that I was going to be fit or "healthy" and without lying to you that since I turned my diet around, my life changed completely, I no longer suffer from My stomach is inflamed, I perform much more in my workouts and the two things that I like the most about this whole process is not having to worry about eating every 3 hours and how much I save on my diet, because when I invest in food, it is food real, natural, inexpensive and that will really nourish me satisfactorily
INTERMITTENT FASTING which therefore I clarify is not a diet but a lifestyle and it is something that not many understand, because I do not know who said that we had to eat every 2 or 3 hours, however let's go back to reality and I remind you that the The original diet of the human being was to eat only 3 times a day or when they could, they do not choose when to eat, that is why it is possible to recognize the great health benefits, now we who have the pleasure of being able to choose, people choose to eat, and the human being becomes dependent on refined carbohydrates or sugar, which as you well know is our worst enemy.
But today I want to tell one more of my experiences with INTERMITTENT FASTING and how I carry it out in different ways so as not to generate adaptation in my body and not to stagnate.
Intermittent fasting, oh, like diets low in carbohydrates, but high in healthy fats, they manage to reduce the insulin in our body, especially me who am insulin resistant, and just by eating something with sugar or a fairly fatty food one day , my body the next day looks very bloated and fluid retention is quite high.
Now fasting is a process that not only lowers insulin, but also helps my body use stored fat as an energy source to sustain me during fasting and the body properly processes and digests what still needs to be distributed.
I love fasting because it is very fast and effective to help me stay in shape throughout the year and not have to take my body through different stages like volume or definition, this is simply something that keeps me in a physical state, calm and happy with my body.
Compared to the traditional 55% carbohydrate diet, low carbohydrate diets reduce insulin levels, although fasting is somewhat similar to eating a low carbohydrate diet, fasting helps us reduce it by 50%, but from my point of view I use both to obtain great benefits. So some days I fast very well for 20 hours but I eat clean carbohydrates like oatmeal or sweet potatoes, other days I don't consume any type of carbohydrates, only those that come from vegetables, like other days I do some load of clean carbohydrates as well.
Here I show you this photo of how I woke up today, yesterday I only had two meals very early and the rest of the day I fasted until today, Sunday, when I made my first intake at 2 pm
