Calorie Counting Honestly
One of the benefits of my profession is that I meet many individuals who wish to change their life.
Assumingly for the better.
Unless they decide to use their new found superpowers to take down small children for lunch money.
Or stop old ladies from crossing the road with their incredible sled drive strength.
None the less, one of the fascinating observations I’ve made over time concerns people’s nutrition, or diet, log.
I personally measure everything I eat. Not all the time, but definitely 75% of the year.
Most importantly I journal when I have a goal. Tracking leaves me with very little confusion on whether or not my approach worked, and it helps me to look back at prior results to confirm I can repeat past success again.
To track my meal planning I use a digital scale. In fact, we own two in our house, and both have been verified by a 500 gram weight to be accurate.
So that’s fun, you know, facts.
With that, if I weigh a slice of naan bread, and it states 100 grams, well, I will eat that 100 gram serving and record it accordingly.
Contrarily, I know individuals who do not weigh their serving portions, but, rather eye the amount.
Needless to say this isn’t a very accurate method.
And needless to say, during these “eyeballing” logs people also tend to fluctuate on the wrong side of improving their body composition.
They write down in their log book they weighed such and such serving, and write their calories and macros.
When I ask about these servings though they communicate they didn’t actually weigh the serving. They judged it on observation to be correct.
If there is one thing I recommend above all things “Be Honest With Yourself”.
Always be honest with yourself.
The fastest and easiest way to succeed at anything in life is to be honest with yourself in the journey of your goal. Be it financial, relationships, career, health.
For example, If I’m off by about 200 calories a day, possibly 300, over the course of 3-5 times per week I can expect a little bump up in body fat.
Is it life or death, or goal-murdering?
No. Not that dramatic.
But it may mess up my next weigh-in for sport. Or I may wonder where a hard fought for striation or muscle belly went.
And if it’s incorrectly logged in my workouts as poundages being lifted, well, I’m sure you can see where I may become disillusioned sooner than later on my actual abilities and results overall.
So always help yourself by being honest with yourself first.
Your life will become increasingly easier.
Good luck, and remember, if you’re interested in changing your current fitness and look, I’m here in Pembroke to help.

Today’s challenge is brought you by a crazy man in a purple suit…
no, Prince is dead already.
It’s the Joker, and he doesn’t G.A.F.
So much so, that he’s looking to place you face down on the ground, balancing on your belly, waving your arms and legs frantically like a angel fallen to it’s death.
Inverted Snow Angels!
One of my personal favorites for making people ‘feel the burn’.
Good luck with all 666 Inverted Snow Angels.
Hands and feet must never touch the ground during your rep count.
Believe me, this movement sucks.
Good luck with the Joker!

Day 8 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Day 8 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016 is here!
Today’s challenge is pretty easy.
All you need is yourself and a little space.
The rep count is 500.
The amount of sets is based upon your current fitness level.
All you need to do is begin with Push-Ups, as many as you can bust out (you may want perform up to 2 minus your max), then, stand up and perform as many Squats as you possibly can in a row.
Someone may likely finish this in one set.
Some may take up to 50 sets.
In example,
Let’s say I complete 50 push-ups, then I complete 50 squats (50:50), then 30 push-ups, then 50 squats, 20 push-ups, 50 squats I am half way there (250 reps).
Finishing off with
15:35 x 5 sets.
15 Push-Ups:35 Squats multiplied by 5 sets = 250 final reps.
Not too bad!
So find you own rep count that works for you and give it a shot in your house in Pembroke, Marshfield, Duxbury, Kingston, wherever you are.
Good luck!
