Day 3 of cleaning the flat and i am so hungry! I was cleaning the kitchen yersterday so we dont have food at home. I have to wait for an hour until i will get food in my stomach, since my driver is not really feeling well. I mean you cant expect to work and barely sleep. No matter how much things that need to be done, the body need rest. I hate depending on someone, i cannot wait the day i get my driving license i dont have to depend on someone anymore.

 

Today is very hot summer weather, disgusting hot and i feel sorry for Blackie who have to go around with his Black hair, luckily is fresh inside the flat. But once we arrived in Barcelona we are going to sweat like pig. The flat there dont have air, unlike here is fresh. But there its like being in an oven and at night its like sleeping in the Sauna..omg!!! I dont want to imagine that.

Its Fathers day today i guess? I have no idea but i see that people are posting it on Facebook. But i greated my dad anyway :).

 

This is my first weekend that i really feel and the summer weather. Its so hot and its around 27 degrees. Luckily we have airfan here to keep as cool down.
In about two weeks we will be here in Barcelona like we have been doing this past 3 years, but i think it will be the "last" summer we are spending it in this flat of my boyfriends mom, because then we will have our own flat to stay in.

 

This summer my friends are coming down Mariela, Daria and Gabriella my closest friends. I miss them so much and i cant wait to spend my time with them.

 

What are you all up to this sunday beautiful day in Barcelona???

 

 

 

 

So what does it mean Bulking? For many people might understand it as building muscles like HULK, but its not true, bulking is another word for building muscles, but not like hulk unless you are a guy. I said before that i was going to bulk, but then my brother asked me a question that i never really think about it before. He said " Why are you going to bulk when the summer is coming, like next month?" True, when bulking we gain fat as we try to build muscles, because you have to eat atleast 20% more calories than your daily calorie intake or 200-500 calories. Always when bulking we gain fat, not only muscles. Thats why many people who have "normal weight" bulk first and cut later, or shredd is the other word. Shredd or cut means get rid or reduce the bodyfat by adding more cardio and eating 20% less calories to get rid of the fat. When enough bodyfat is reduce the muscles that you were building are going to show more. So its better to build muscles and then cut, rather than the opposite. If you are too skinny and you want to lose more fat, then build muscles, its more harder to gain the muscles that you want. You need atleast more bodyfat than a maraton runnershave to be able to build muscles. When cutting we also lose muscles at the same time we lose bodyfat. Its just the way it works. Bulking = gain muscles + gain fat and Shredding/cutting= Lose body fat + lose muscles. We always going to gain fats when bulking and we always going to lose muscles when cutting. So to preserve as much muscles as possibles when cutting is to eat a lot of protein and dont overdo with cardio. Cardio dont just burn calories they burn muscles too. When bulking to build muscles while trying to gain as little fat as possible we always add 20mins cardio aftr weightlifting. So why after weightlifting? Because if you do cardio before weightlifting you wont have enough strenght to lift weights and if you are in bulking process you need all the strenght you have to be able to lift those weights. The heavier weights the better, always challenge yourself, cos if it doesnt challenge you, it doesnt change you!.

 

So what i am doing now is cutting, cos i rather lose a little bit of muscles and get flat abs and tone body than gain muscles with extra bodyfat on. Bodyfat and weight is not really the same. You dont need to lose weight to reduce the body fat. Sometimes people dont lose weight when they stand on the scale, but when they measure their waist and arms with measuring tape they see difference. So dont always rely on the scale. Take pictures and measure your bodyparts to see progress.

 

Now when it comes to abs you dont have to focus on abs workout, focus on fullbody workout that dont isolate the abs to burn the fat. Only when you drop the body fat that is covering the abs under the fat will you see those muscles. People think you have to do abs workout everyday to get sixpack, but its not true. Do regular cardio, weighttraining and eat alot of protein and eat vegetables instead of complex carbs. But for me i eat carbs before and after workout and for breakfast, so that i have something to help me build muscles when i fed them with protein and carbs. You cant build muscles on low calorie, so for me i just maintain the muscles i have now. I will bulk after summer this winter and cut after when its summer like 3 months before june next year. I am getting a coach that will help me achieved my goal as soon as we go back to Barcelona, cos then i have access to the gym, the gym makes you fitter faster and gives you faster results, because you will have access to all the machines. But its not an excuse to not workout at home, if you cant go to the gym.

 

So dont give up work out and eat healthy!. If you have a lot of fats to lose, run first thing in the morning before breakfast, the only thing you can put in your stomach is protein shake mix with water and black coffee. Never drink energy drink while working out, drink water. BEcause when you burn calories it will take the energy drink that you drink and burn that instead, rather than the fat that you want to get rid off. Aim for 30-40 minutes moderate cardio 4-5x a week. Moderate cardio is that you should be able to talk normal when you are running, if you cant then slow down. When you reach your goal, reduce the cardio, its not sexy when you are to skinny without ass, thats why weightlifting comes along.

 

Some people ask me about workouts and diet, but i know things just because i self study it. I do alot of research, i think you should do too...Thats how you learn and i learn alot!!. Many people like asking so MUCH questions all the time, i mean SEARCH IN GOOGLE OR SOMETHING!! Stop asking questions and sometimes the answers to their questions are something OBVIOUS or logic. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT CARBS IS??! ITs just shocking how people know so little about things. I mean im not genious, but if you want to find out the answer of your questions do research for yourself, ive been doing mine for months. I aint google!! I mean im happy to help you, but i think you should sometimes try to do it by your own, for once!!!
