Forget the plan…

For the past…ummmm…month or so, I have just been doing what I want.  That includes both eating and working out.  I have been eating LOTS and working out LOTS.  Sometimes I think people get so tied up in the details of what they are doing, and not just looking at the BIG PICTURE.  If you want to gain muscle…EAT and LIFT HARD.  If you want to lose weight…reduce your calories and get some more activity.  I know that sounds overly simplistic, but god damn it, that’s what it takes!  THERE IS NO SECRET.  There is no magic formula.  There’s are no secret exercises.  If you are just looking to get in shape, then JUST DO IT.

Do you want to gain muscle without gaining fat?  LIFT.  And EAT.  Follow your body and follow your appetite.  If you feel like lifting twice a day…do it.  If you don’t feel like lifting that day…don’t.  Are you hungry?  Eat.  Not hungry…don’t!  I know this is going to be too much for all you PLAN people to handle, but I have to get it out of my system.  Because I’ve done both.  And guess what makes me happier and look better??

Do you want to lose fat?  Do it the old-fashioned way.  I mean…what did your mom or dad do if they wanted to drop a few pounds?  Start walking and eat a little less, right?  It works.  You don’t want to jump into starving yourself.  You can implement some things you know…keep in protein and fats…but you don’t have to stress when you eat a piece of candy.  Get it?  It’s just energy.  Plan around it.

This is generally for the ‘average dieter’.  There are some things you may need to do when the going gets tough or if you are doing a show.  But please don’t forget the basics.  Don’t forget the fun.  I am really enjoying lifting the shit out of stuff.  LOL  That is kind of an inside joke.  Hang around…you’ll pick up on my humor.

Did anyone watch the ACMA’s?  I am trying to download part of Miranda’s Dead Flowers performance…awesome!  I wish they would YouTube it!!
