New Dreams Come With New Sacrifices

Recently I have decided I wanted to push my body, I wanted to see just how far my results could go.

Of course this decision seems easy, I see the pictures of other people making the meal plans, doing the workouts and seeing amazing results. So my first idea was, let me begin the "NPC Bikini Competition" meal plan. 

   Excuse me?!? A bikini competition??

We all know what that entails and nope NOT for me! The doubts started running through my head. But I decided in determined to JUST see where my body can go! 

I started mentioning it to a friend and coworker. I decided with his help, why not try it!? 

So here I am Sunday January 11th in the office searching and reading about this diet. 

For any of you interested, I was sent the guide by 4hourlife.com it makes the rules very simple and easy to understand, although I still ask several questions, every couple of minutes. 

Looking through the information I knew I was going to have to make adjustments to my eating habits, for me I thought the only hard part was getting back into meal prepping.

The hardest obstacle I had to overcome was what it meant to me to go from about 900-1,200 calories per day to 1,400 everyday. My thought as soon as I heard the calorie intake was: I'm supposed to start seeing muscle definition and abs while taking in more calories? That cannot be possible. 

The one thing that was so important for me to remember was, it's not just calories, the food I am beginning to eat will fuel my body much better than the food I had been eating. 

Today begins day one of the new eating habits. I will be continuing with my workouts and adjusting when necessary. 

Yesterday was for preparation day, the recipes were kind of off the top of my head and I have not tasted them yet.

"If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail"

I used ground turkey, and chose several veggies to add into the mixture. 

✔️celery

✔️pepper

✔️onion

✔️baby Bella mushroom

✔️tomatoes 

Mixed them all together.

I originally planned to make burgers but I could not get them to stay together so instead I cooked it all up on a skillet with seasoning. 

I have begun to use myfitnesspal to track my calorie intake and progress.

If you would like to follow my recipes and see what I eat friend me bplummer21.
