Fat Around Button Area?

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
I've found starting to skip out on workouts makes it easier to do it again, so I just don't miss one at all, unless I'm sick or injured. Have you set up a system for when you lift weights and do cardio? I've set up the whole week, so there's just no question about what every day is all about. Mon wed sat weights, tue fri cardio, thu sun rest. Works well for me.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Birthday cake and skipping workouts isn't going to help you meet your goals Martin. These are the things that set you back and you know that they do. Just saying...MartinBoy wrote:Gave it a miss, will do it today instead.
Day 254
Breakfast, protein shake - 1 scoop, so 23g protein just from powder, with semi skimmed milk.
And wheatabix x3 with semi skimmed milk.
Break and lunch, 2 pieces of bread and about 6 turkey breast slices.
Got home, bannana.
Birthday cake and few bits, been picking at but nothing too extreme.
However i need you guys advice, i gave the cardio a miss yesterday, i just went to do it, but after a minute i had enough. I feel really tired inmyself, unfit, and just feel like being lazy and taking it easy, i think alot of it is to do with birthday the other day and just getting back to things. Also i dunno if this is affecting me but, i like this girl, she likes me, but shes in a relationship with mate from ive known since i was little, so it's awkward.
I know not doing cardio and not eating 100% well isn't going to get me big and a 6 pack though. But ive eaten mainly id say 90% well? And i just could really do with the rest to be honest. But u know, i'll do it if i have to, just legs were aching and i just don't feel good.
Dinner - chicken tikka breast pieces.
So this girl who likes you... that is awkward!! Do you like her? How did you find out about her liking you? Wow thats a tough one!

I know i know bad day! Feeling useless, il have to get back on track soon as tomorow.
And she said, and i explained to her, but i don't think anything can happen as she's in a relationship with 1 of best friends, i hate this feeling though, i always lose.
Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Forget the female. While she's in a relationship don't go there, because that's just sleazy. Even giving her a kiss, then making out like you didn't screw her so it's no biggie, is still sleazy and the mate deserves not to be crapped on like that.
If she cracks onto you, tell him and assure him you didn't go there, even if she lies and says otherwise. If she's a two bit skank she'll soon reveal her colours, if she's even remotely turned on by you and starts to think a bit of extra curricular activity with you is manageable.
If shes not a skank and treats him right, you've got no issues, but even if the mate turned out to be not as trustworthy as thought, or causes some kind of rift with you, she's still off limits. No punishing him by getting with her treatment, It's basically morally repugnant to mess with someone elses woman, even for revenge purposes, in that instance you look like a bigger for not letting the fluff with him go and trying to punish him, not least because that won't help to heal the rift if that's a possibility, you'll blow that, by messing with his girlfriend to pay him back for some reason.
1. Affairs are lowest of the low. People saying it didn't mean anything, I'll change. Yeah your status to single. P.S. not your choice either
. I'm sorry. Yeah, sorry you got caught Dick For Brains 
P.S whilst you're acting like an invertebrate try slithering under the nearest rock and stay there .
2. Married people getting divorced are off limits until they're divorced. Preferably until about 4-6 weeks afterwards minimum, so you're not a rebound casualty. If the divorced female is that quick out of the blocks to get a guy, that you're bedroom material in the first week or two after the decree absolute, cahnces are you're not for keeps, because someone looking for possibly a new marriage, will be more patient, in order to avoid marrying another unsuitable person, or another person they lose appeal for, to the point they'll fend off new admirers, claiming it's too soon, they don't want to rush into something bad etc etc.
3. Someone elses girlfriend, applies in rule two. If she splits with the other person, give it time, so you're not accused by the mate of getting in there, first chance you get. That might damage the relationship with the friend. Accusations of "you've been waiting for the first opportunity haven't you", "you were jealous of me and her, because you didn't have a girlfriend of your own", "you're pathetic", etc etc.
Maybe in that situation, if you wait a few weeks to go for someone, the mate might warn you off if he thinks she's bad news, instead of just not being right for him, but you get in there A.S.A.P. he will not like it, even if it's not his gig anymore, because you don't look good picking up someone elses sloppy seconds, the moment they put them down. If the female was that damned good, it could last forever, waiting 4-6 weeks wouldn't kill, when you've 40-60+ years afterwards.
A rushed thing seldom turns out how you want it to.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
I don't see it as awkward. As I said, shes his, so she's off limits. If she's not his at some point in the future and you and she feel there's something potnetially there, bide your time, then make a delayed move, so as not to put his nose out of joint, getting in there fast as flynn.
That doesn't sound too awkward to me, although having said that, I'm not some hormonal teen in the thick of it, I'm just an outside looking in, innocent bystander where this is concerned.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
She sounds a bit iffy, so beware. She's another guys girl and she's texting you daily and intimating things about being tempted to do stuff with you. If she was 100% legit where he's concerned, the temptation wouldn't even be there.
That sounds like an underlying problem between him and her, or she's in denial about something in the relationship. I mean sure someone losing weight being tempted by some cake, or a recovering alcoholic being tempted by some Gin, those you can understand, but somebody saying they love a guy, but are tempted to do stuff with you and texting daily, that smacks of something not adding up 100% in that relationship.
As I say, I'd beware, because she doesn't sound quite on the level somehow and if she acts in any way on her temptations, you might find you lose a good mate.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Yeah i think i best stay clear. I haven't like a girl like this for a while but, she says she loves him, and if she was single she would be with me, she says he doesn't trust her and knows her every move. But she loves him and will be with him as long as he wants? Had enough anyway it's causing me alot of stress and making me feel shitty.
Thanks for your advice though i appreciate it.
Day 257
Breakfast, protein shake 1 scoop with semi skimmed milk, bowl of corn flakes.
Pear.
Some chunky chicken breast.
Keep picking at small bits of birthday cake because, i happen to really like cake, espically sponge and where it was birthday didn't have none, but these small bits will add up as im feeling fatter already so i must stop.
40mins cardio.
Apple.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
It's not a question of if he wants, it's if she wants as well. Anything like that needs to be a two way thing. If she's under his thumb, or she feels emotuionally blakcmailed into staying with him, or she's not emotionally strong enough, to bin off a relationship that she's not 100% happy with, then it's her problem.MartinBoy wrote:she says he doesn't trust her and knows her every move. But she loves him and will be with him as long as he wants?
If that's the case and she's in a relationship, she's not 100% happy with, but won't or can't get out of, someone needs to help her, but it can't be you, because of your reasonably close attachment to the friend she's going out with, because you could be a catalyst for a bad fallout.
She'd have to get another female or a parent to intervene in someway, by gently persuading her not to stick with something, that doesn't feel 100% right, because her happiness could be at stake, or she's in denial when she needs that person to make her see a truth she's not noticing.
As they say love is blind and sometimes people need another pair of eyes, so to speak, to show them when it's not a good thing. If she needs that, she'll have to get it from someone she might trust, but as I say it can't be you.
You're still better off out of it.
Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Yeah, in a way i wish she wasn't in a relationship because she said she'd be with me, but then again i know friend likes her alot, and ive even mentioned it should be a 2 way thing and she's like, oh but he knows every move and and he don't trust me. Yet she says she loves him? What...
Day 258
Breakfast, bowl of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk, protein shake 1 scoop with semi skimmed milk.
Had a protein shake 1 scoop with a bit of milk before doing workout however back i could feel was a bit sore but nothing to stop me, did 2 sets of barbell curls 20kg and now back is killing, so i had to stop, it's causing me alot of pain when i lean forward, it's just annoying because i had the drink before and all to prepare myself and now can't even do it.
Bread roll
Can of tuna
Pear.
Now back/ left side of it, is feeling better after leaving it a good 5hours and using deep heat, but i think it's best if i give it a rest for the rest of today and maybe tomorow too?
prawns.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Day 259
Breakfast protein shake with small bit of semi skimmed milk.
Bowl of corn flakes with semi skimmed milk.
Feel bloated.
Pear.
Been picking at small pieces of cake but i know i shouldn't! Grr, it's just so hard when it's out on the side, and there isn't any "good" food to eat, but saying that the majority of the time i do believe im eating well, and when there is the right food here i will eat, it instead of junk food, it's just hard when it aint here.
I want to up things, summers coming soon, previous summers ive been scared to go out in a t shirt, and would have to be wearing a jumper, im just sick of feeling bloated alot of the time and i think that's main problem. I feel and look it, i want pecs constantly, so when i take shirt off i aint got to tense or do weights before to make it look good. And same with 6 pack, i don't want to have to lean back or tense to show 6 pack.
I'm really prepared to up things, however what am i doing wrong? Is weight workout not good enough? Mainly doing full body workouts i believe? The ones ive been posting lately, cardio normally 40mins cycling on stationary bike, did 30mins today though.
So yeah what do i need to be doing? Eating less? Eating more? Hour cardio instead of 40mins? Cardio every day?
Im really prepared because looking good is everything, sure i do need to enjoy myself though where im young so occisonally i would like to drink and maybe eat things i shouldn't, but you know it's not every day. Saying that easter is coming up soon, what should i do, i know i wouldn't be stupid and eat like 5 easter eggs a day, i would be careful but what should i do, because i mean it's a big thing and it isn't at the same time. Should i not have any easter eggs when brothers are getting them? Should i eat one a day and go on the bike for about 2 hours? It's hard but i am determined to do this!
Also had a bowl of porridge oats with semi skimmed milk before the cardio
Pack of melon pieces.
Dinner - chicken and beef slices, potatoes, mushrooms, and bit of tomato ketchup.
Breakfast protein shake with small bit of semi skimmed milk.
Bowl of corn flakes with semi skimmed milk.
