It's been a while since I talked about Steemfat 3.
For the reader that doesn't know what it is.
Steemfat is my quest to get in shape for Steemfest (the main Steem event every year).
I actually did manage to get in proper shape for Steemfest 2 but it quickly declined from there.
Life, good food, bbq, steak, fun, wine, beer, whiskey....o well you know my blog...
I tried to pick it up here and there and write about it but I kept falling of the wagon so at some point I just thought...fuck it.
But for the last 6 weeks it's been going well.
New balance seemed to have been found.
Bianca and I go to the gym 5 times a week and we in general eat well.
We allow ourself to have fun too and those are usually the times I write about, like yesterday. (burgers and beers).
Tonight it will just be boring chicken with rice and vegetables.
Like I said balance.
But even after working pretty hard at it I got this comment the other day.
It put me in stitches.
It was that vlog where I show my trading card.
Here's the comment, LOL
What a great reality check :)
Guess I still got a long way too go!
But I'll get there.

Greetings, exyle
Last year I went through a very difficult situation in life and unfortunately didn't know how to handle both she. That I generated a bit of depression. Even being a psychologist, I can't deal well with the symptoms of what happened .... Unfortunately, I caused insomnia and weight gain. I don't weigh myself a couple of weeks, but, left 75 kilos (my ideal weight I believe) and I should be weighing some 88 now. I won nearly 14 pounds, stopped working out, by a power failure and I was eating, eating and eating.
This brings me post your animation to work out again. See how you're a girl happy and how physical activity is good for both aesthetics and our happiness. You are very pretty and will always see a good mood!!!
I hope that in the second half, from month 6 or 7, I come back to practice physical activity and cardiorespiratory to do weight training again.
Thank you for posting and good day!!
Good luck on getting back in shape, man.
@exyle,
At last you could remember that you had to cover STEEM Fat series :D
Let's see your progress level in this round!
Cheers~
The important thing is that you are really taking time to do those exercises and not making excuses, that indicates that you keep the balance you speak, not bad that occasionally break the diet so to speak, for that you train constantly to give Those tastes, either way still working hard! Have a good day
Just hearing about steemfest for the first time, we Nigerians haven't hosted any steemfest and would love to be a part of it.
About your weight .. you've got some height mannnnnnn.. add any more muscle and you will be hired a beyonce's bouncer
I don't really thing there is a mich different on the picture, you really look good man!, i also like your body fitness.
Your Steemfat project is good. If you keep this up, you'll get in shape quickly. You just have to change your meals a little bit, and that's it. The food is tempting and hard to leave at first, but then it becomes a habit.
Anyway you can get off the diet once in a while and eat your hamburger, drink your beer and enjoy with your friends quietly hahaha.
Greetings @exyle. Keep it up! :)
Cheers!
Ooft, what a comment! I love that yellow brick backdrop btw!!
Like a baseball bat to the nut sack. lol. It hits home :)
Lol, yeah. I was like that when someone said I would be glad to get back in shape when my boy was a bit older. I was like, oooww!!
hello friend, first of all let me tell you that you have a lot of style, on the other hand balance is very important, but if you are in the gym, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, although it is never bad to give us good taste with
Greetings from Venezuela friend, keep enjoying and preparing yourself! @exyle
I had exactly the same thought @exyle, when I saw that card, but I was too polite to say! 😁
You still got plenty of time to sort it before Steemfest 3. 😂
When and where will Steemfest 3 be?
I’ve seen lots of posts looking back on 2 but have yet to see one about planning for 3.
I hope it's in Tallinn!
Nobody knows until @roelandp reveals it. We just have to wait a little longer.
You're actually looking decent.
I don't think slim look would fit you best.
You should have some meat on.
By the way, there's no need of going to gym 5 times a week.
It's unnesecessary, especially for people that are not advanced (basically have lots of muscle).
I'm doing great by doing full body workouts 3 times per week.
Your body needs rest and 5x per week is not needed.
Except if you're using steroids, lol.
I've done a 150kg deadlift few weeks ago, and strength is going up rapidly.
I'm going to switch to 4 times per week (upper-lower-upper-lower).
5x per week is ideal I would say. With 2 rest days. Just like a 9 to 5 job would be. It's probably perfect since you want some momentum going. Only 3 per week it may be easy to become very lazy.
Classical "bro" split isn't good (if you're thinking about that).
Your muscles need around 2 days to rest.
So, if you train chest and biceps on Monday, you'll have a 7 day gap between doing that muscle.
But, if you train full-body every 2 days, you'll hit that muscle more often, and make better results.
I have a question for you?
If someone says, if you lift 150kg in bench, would you do it once a week or every day?
Believe me, you'll get stronger by doing every muscle 3 times a week, and not once a week.
There is no standard for how long the body needs to rest. If you are talented in meditation and relax you only need 2 hours of sleep per day. So it all depends on the person. Same as there is no universal diet. If you know your body then you will know what it can do and not do. All comes down to how skilled a person is at paying attention to their own body and how it works.
Red alert! Breech of etiquette! You never ask anyone why they have gotten out of shape or gained weight. We all have mirrors! The fact that you are trying to eat healthily and workout should suffice. As long as you feel well and are happy, who cares?
Haha! Well on the internet you can expect everything :) I don't mind. I thought it was pretty funny. I'm very happy and confident so that helps. I like the idea of Steemfat because it reminds me to check were I stand every year.
lol funny description of this healthy and delicious food.
@fproductions’s comment even funnier! You have a pretty good commitment. This makes me realized I should start thinking about myself or working on myself as well to avoid this kind of comment lol.
It's a nice decision to get back into shape before steemfat 😅 oh sry Imean Steemfeast,i like this name😅all the best buddy @exyle
You don't seem too far from the shape on the cartoons. I have to ask though how did you get that option on comments to show you are interacting with a "HUMAN"?
I use a really nice browser extension made by @stoodkev. It's called Steemplus here.
I do remember your steemfat blog from last year. I don't think you have fallen that far off. With a strict diet and disciplined workouts you can snap back and look even more slimmer and fitter. By working out 5 times a week you are already on the right path :)
It's not that big of a difference in your appearance to be honest :) and you know I like to be critical from time to time :P
Thanks, man!
Great picture I like the yellow wall @exyle wow what a slap the comment was, funnily I was just thinking about Steemfat a week ago, good luck with the progress.
Want the "Magic Metabolism" and Lose Weight Effortlessly?
No, this isn't an ad for some magic pill. LOL I'm sharing what I've been seeing work for over 10 years now.
Choose your foods by your blood type. When you choose the correct foods for you (which requires also knowing your parent's blood types), you will lose 2-3lbs a week until you hit the normal weight for your height.
When you eat the foods for your blood type, your body digests and uses the food properly. When you eat foods wrong for your blood type, your body spends resources fighting off parts of those foods.
I've Brought This Information
to many people, of all blood types. I've also watched it work with all blood types.
Tried The Blood Type Diet and It Didn't Work?
Here is what you need to pay attention to:
When something is neutral for your blood type and avoid for one of your parents, it can be avoid for you. An alkaline body pH can make it easier for you to digest it, but some things will always be avoid foods.
Your body needs to be Alkaline, so eating 70%+ alkaline and alkalizing foods helps immensely. Too alkaline can also be as bad as too acidic, be careful. ;)
Additional ingredients. Always read ALL the ingredients on a food package. If it was natural flavorings, it would say strawberry puree instead of "natural flavors". Chemicals, highly refined foods, hydrogenated oils and more are all avoids.
You Can Do It :D
Man you are still looking healthy.looks good.
Good articel , good posting, And very interesting to read.
Thanks for telling us what it is i appreciate this
Ahh..you will get in shape soon it looks like! All the very best. :)
I also want a card like that! But I guess you need to have reputation 70 at least to qualify! Hahaha
Now that's your target!
Thanks for expantiating more on it, I actually don't know what it is about but thanks to you adequate info, I really get to know more about steemitfat, like it name speaketh, one would agree that a lot of menu menu such as drink and a great refreshment is on the way if I'm actually correct.
This will be awesome wish I could have a chance to witness it, ugh, if that will be possible. Thanks for sharing, I like it.
If you are always giving very good gifts to write us very well we would like to continue your trend in the future.@exyle
I believe that with discipline, anyone can achieve what they so desire. You too can @exyle. I really haven't heard about steemfat before now. I introduced some newbies to steemit who have been plaguing me with questions. This is an additional knowledge for me and for those who care to know. Thanks for always keeping us updated.
Stories that are deeply understood from you, and your journey is very good from time to time. you go on and on at the right and perfect point. this makes me proud of you. sorry if this comment makes you confused and but the purpose is the same as what you are feeling. resteem @exyle
Well all the very best to you buddy , while you did it before you sure will do it again , not to worry ;)
That's very good @exyle. I just began to follow you and didn't know steemfat exist! Better shape days ahead!
I love those cards
Watching yourself in the mirror after intense workout really gives us the best feeling in the world.
hahah in middle of everything steem fat got missed but glad it is back now :D
Cool story, 5 times a week to the gym, very nice.
Funny comment, it's a comment written by a human. No bots complaining?
those cards are the best, best of luck with getting ripped so we can drink a lot of beer again at steemfest 3! :)
