NEWBIE ALERT! Lindarose's Fitness Journal!
Hey y'all. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm Linda. I'm 22 years old. I'm in grad school right now and with school consuming my entire life, I decided to get into fitness and building just for fun to see how far I could push myself. I've been a lurker for quite some time now and I figure I should put myself out there as motivation to keep on point. You ladies (and men ) have been a huge inspiration to me, so I'm hoping I can have you guys to talk to about going through this whole thing since I'm going at it all by my lonesome. Anyway, I've started a fitness journal/log on my blogger site and I've provided a link below. I've got a couple of pictures up already but I'm waiting to get a hold of an actual camera so until then I can't really do all of the really good shots.
So my stats are:
weight: 122 (down from a 160 only 1 year ago! )
height: 5'7"
bodyfat %: not sure how to go about getting that tested but my bmi is a 19.1.
My Goal is to really build muscle mass. Essentially, I'd like to bulk up but still maintain a lean frame. I definitely DON'T want to lose weight since I already think I'm a little low. I'm a little afraid, but I think I'm pushing to maybe enter a competition in maybe 6 months. I figure, if I have that goal in mind, I'll push myself harder.
I'm still searching as to what the perfect training and cardio schedule is. Right now, I work out six days a week usually with a Sunday off and I esentially do 30 minutes of cardio everyday with maybe half an hour to 45 minutes of weight machine exercises everyday as well. I don't want to burn out so I'll definitely need to make some adjustments.
My current meal plan is located on my blog. I'm thinking I may follow that everyday with a cheat day once a week and a little variation on the weekend. I consumed less than 1000 calories yesterday which I'm a little worried about especially since I didn't do that purposely. I'm pretty sure it was my lack of breakfast that was the reason for that. I'll work on that but it's hard as a student.
As for medical concerns, I have none so I'm ready and pumped to do this!
Any and all feedback is welcomed! I want to do this right so I'd like to get help anywhere I can get it. Thanks guys!
