I'm Only One Person

So, as an unofficial fitness guru, plenty of people have asked me to go with them to the gym and teach them some new moves. That's fine, but there's been a few that have given me attitude for not staying on top of them and making them go to the gym. WHOAAAA!!!!!! One time, this girl really gave me an attitude. She told me that she had burgers and fries and ice cream over the week. She said "oh vaughn, you're supposed to tell me what to do, its your fault that I ate that shit" Correction: It's your fault for being a fatty not me. Secondly, did I tie you to a chair and force-feed you burger king fries? NOOOOO (p.s. I LOVVEEEEE burger king fries). But anywho, no I should not be held accountable for your actions. I give the tools for people to use, what you do with said tools is all up to you. Like I said, I'm only one person. Another thing, I take people to the gym, I tell them to do a workout and they end up hating me. To a certain extent, I understand where it comes from. When I go with people to the gym, I automatically put them onto my typical routines. Now I've been doing this for two years now and some people just aren't at that level yet. I need to be a little less strict on people. But personally, I feel that me being aggressive on new people will enhance their chances of weight-loss success. If you go with me to the gym, be prepared to the work. I have no time for foolishness, cell phones, chit chats, all business. If someone can't deal with it, then maybe I'm not the right person to train them. Once again, I'm only one person and I'm here to help people who want to help themselves.

You Know What Sucks???

Ok, so as you go further into your weight-loss journey, you come to realize that your body is not always going to cooperate with you. Meaning, that no matter how hard you work, you can't decide which body parts lose weight and which do. It's like your body's cruel little inside joke for you. Even when you do lose weight in the areas you want, sometimes you end up with sagging skin or stretchmarks, or that jiggle jaggle of cellulite around your ass (jiggle jaggle is my copyrighted phrase). Its extemely frustrating and hard to treat, you can only do so much. Take me for example. After all of the exercise and healthy eating it took for me to lose 100 pounds, there were long-term effects. I still have some jiggle around my stomach, my little gut if you will. And not only that, but those butt-ugly stretch marks. EWWWWWW I hate it I hate it I HATE IT!!!! It's like "okay you can lose all the weight, but its a constant reminder of just how much of a fatass you really were". Honestly, it gets me a little frustrated that I don't see certain areas tightening up but I just have to deal. I do my running and my crunches and hopefully I'll get the six-pack of my dreams (no seriously I REALLY want a six-pack). I mean the shape is there, it's just hiding at this point in time. But don't worry it's a-coming!!!!! Just don't let it deter you away from your goals. It's better to complain and still workout than to sit on the couch grubbing and complaining. Don't punk out *George Lopez Voice* You got this!!!!

Get Out & Play!!

Hello my wonderful readers, this next post was inspired by my amigo Phreddy (P.S. you're the man)! But anywho,  I know I have a few fans from different countries and I'm hoping some of you are kids because this post is for you guys. Even though I put Fatass in the title of my blog, I would never call a heavy kid a fatass. I've been where you are and I know how much words can crush a spirit. I'm on your side. As we all know, childhood and adolescent obesity is at an all-time high. This is mostly due to kids being inactive and eating mass amounts of junk food. A few years ago, that was me. Once I moved away from my old house and from my friends, I became the laziest dude around. I didn't wanna go anywhere or do anything. All I did was eat and eat and eat. And the weight just kept coming and coming. It took me years to fix this problem for myself, I don't want the same for you guys. Hopefully you're reading this blog and learning from my mistakes.  Just get off the couch and put the junk down and go play!!! Just walking around with friends, joining a club, playing sports, riding a bike, go to the park, you catch my drift. Any little thing makes a difference. I really want you guys to be happy AND healthy. And maybe one of these days, one of you guys can teach me how to ride a bike =).

Gotta Make Time and Stay Motivated

So I was talking to my friend Danny a few days ago. He was telling me that sometimes he gets lazy with working out and isn't really consistent. After hearing this, I told him that he has to find a way to make time for himself to get a quality workout in. Hope you enjoyed that shoutout D. Now anywho, I know its hard to stay focused and consistent with exercise. We all lead busy lives and there's not enough hours in the day. But trust me when I say, that there's ways to make time to workout. My health psychology professor told my class that a 30 minute workout is the minimum to achieve physical fitness. You could even break that up throughout the day. You could do a minute of pushups, then maybe two minutes of jumping jacks, a minute of squats, and so on and so fort. Working out in the morning works for me. I can get it out of the way and go on with my day. So there is definately a way to make time. Also, a little half joke/ half serious comment I make when people say its hard to stay on track. I show everyone my old ID picture and tell them "You don't wanna wake up one day 331 pounds, just saying". It usually gets the right result, and people get the job done. So guys, just find what works for you and stick with it.

You REALLY do not wanna wake 331 pounds, just saying.
