well, i dont think i went from "zero to hero". i probably averaged about a run a week throughout college, so my legs were in decent shape prior to the recent insanity.
i gained 15 lbs between freshman year and this year. i didnt get any taller and i dont lift weights so it is definetly fat. beer, taco bell and pizza are the explanation.
ive lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. i took 2 days off from running and my legs feel much better, my self esteem is better, my mood is better, i feel better overall. i take a digital picture every day and there is obvious difference in my appearance from day one to now. i am liking the results.
some of you say that this will all backfire and i will just gain everything back. i disagree. i realize i cant keep my insane pace up for too much longer or my body will be in danger (maybe it is allready, as some have explained). my plan is to gradually increase my calorie intake to a healthy level over the next month. once i reach that level (2500 or so a day), i plan to maintain it.
i made a huge spreadsheet on excel keeping tabs of literally evertyhing i consume, # of pushups, miles, ect. I titled it "30 days of hell".
when the 30 days of hell are over i still plan to exercise and healthy foods. i will NOT gain that weight back!
