One thing about myself is this, I feel fluffy like a pillow with a core made out of steel. I've battled with my weight my entire life even to this day. While I've been educated in how to exercise effectively, the issue is life itself.
Generally speaking, I need to build up the framework psychologically to be successful with body compositional goals. My goals are generally simple, put on muscle, lose fat. However, if you are to look at the way I gain and lose weight, it's the traditional endomorphic body type. My upcoming post will go into somatotype to discuss the differences between endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph.
I feel like if I look at a cupcake or cookie, I've gained about 6lbs. On the contrary, If I lift any amount of weight I feel like I've gained some significant muscle. Not really a great compromise, especially when you consider the whole gain weight concept.
I enjoy lifting weights. I enjoy food. I'm like nearly every red-blooded American male. I honestly try to be good with my diet most of the time, but, I also have a weakness for Oreos and pizza. I like lifting weights and hate cardio (it's boring) unless it's boxing or kickboxing. In the end, it forces me to be fluffy like a pillow built on steel.
Restricting what you do can only lead to bigger problems in the end. I'm now of the mindset that I need to make sure that my overall health is alright. I have three kids that need my wife and I when I get home each and every day. I look at getting 4-5 workouts per week as a success. I eat vegetables at least 2 meals per day and really try like hell to avoid those Oreos at night.
I'm like you and everyone else. It's just that I have been educated and trained in exercise and diet, but I still love the American in me!
