Real experience: minus two sizes in a month and a half without dieting
Orenburg woman Tanya Tkacheva did it! Read and learn from experience.
The path to harmony was not given to Tanya very easily. How it all began, continued and developed, you can read yourself.
Day fortieth. Stretching is hard.
Stretching turns out to be one of the most enjoyable post-workout activities!
If you’ve never been lazy to stretch after strength training, then, of course, you are not familiar with this eerie feeling when you cannot tie your shoelaces without squatting.
With a grunt, I sit down to tuck my laces into my sneakers, and Slava laughs. “I won’t even say anything. If you want to chat, chat. You came to lose weight, and therefore I did not give you the opportunity to chat with your girlfriends during strength training. And stretching is your business. Do you want to be a jock and go to the wreck, turning not your head, but your whole body to the sound – for God’s sake. “
The girls come to lose weight and run for hours on the path, neglecting the weights. And they are losing weight … And they are becoming even worse than they were. Or uncles over 100 kg, who think that cardio is “for girls” and pumping muscles, are getting worse. And I also heard that if you do not do cardio, an athlete’s heart may not cope with increasing weights. In short, this is a serious matter. This is what a coach is needed for. I myself, when I was going to “lose weight by summer,” occupied the treadmill and the ellipse, killed myself to death, almost lost nothing but strength and skin tone. But Slava did not allow me to follow this vicious path again … And here I am such a slender woman with a toned body. True, a slender woman cannot touch her toes without bending her legs. No conversations at the end of friction, I’m going to stretch!
Stretching is not a hell of a pain, as it turns out. This is not the agony of New York ballet or tearing of muscles and ligaments. After sweating under the barbell, it is so nice to lie down on the rug and gently stretch in all directions … Tatiana, you are a dunce. I would already be sitting on the twine. Making up for!
Day forty-five. Suddenly.
The fight against excess weight is coming to an end, the main thing is not to get lost at the finish
The Change Yourself program came to an end so suddenly. It seemed to me that there was still so much time ahead, I would tighten up, squeeze, pump up … And so, after 4 days I go to the doctor to take the results, but I’m not ready yet! I can get even better!
And at this moment I understand that participation in the program is important for me not only by participation. I want to win! I have a result, I saw it and I want to prove to myself that I can beat everyone! And what now … Four days. Vaughn Katya threw off nine kilograms. And my weight is almost unchanged. Of course, this is a weight of a different quality, but is my result sufficient to win ???
Day forty-seventh. Hysterics.
I have an annual report and a hall. Report and hall. I feel bad and I don’t see anything. And I can’t hear. The main thing is not victory, the main thing is participation, but … I’m not ready to lose !!!
In a semi-faint state, I leave the hall … And I encounter a doctor-diagnostician who is peacefully heading into the hall. Sasha looks at me with stunned eyes … “Are you out of your mind ??? Have you seen your bruises under your eyes, Tanya, do you want to lose all the muscles for the control weighing? “
Literally by the scruff of the neck, they drag me into the office, weigh me. 28% fat.
– Well done! And I will read her off as a winner! What are you doing!
– Sasha, well, I want to win!
– Do you want to lose seven hundred grams of muscle in a few days? Or gain two hundred fat?
– Well, where does he get it, I don’t eat anything …
– From there and take it. The misalignment of loads and nutrients with such an imbalance forces your body to destroy hard-built muscles and store fat for future use. I forbid training until the day after tomorrow! Eat as usual! One hundred twenty grams of protein!
I crawl home in complete despair. So disgrace yourself at the finish line. But both Slava and Sasha believed in me. And I…
It’s unbearable. I’m afraid to eat. I look at food and wonder if it will go into muscles? What if fat? After all, protein, improperly eaten, can go into fat. And if you don’t eat it? But then muscle mass will fall, and the percentage of fat will increase. And if you eat it? But what if…. Ohhhhh, this idiotic fuse will ruin me! After all, health matters and my new superfigure! And burn all contests! Chicken with vegetables, come to me!
The night did not sleep almost. I fly to the scales in the morning. The beep of the analyzer echoes in my head. 25% adipose tissue.
Minus 10,4%. I did it!
Minus six kilograms of fat. Plus 4,5 kilograms of muscle. While Sasha analyzes my new body, I try to comprehend. It took a month and a half to change everything!
Other participants in the Change Yourself program follow me in line. Most of them are noticeably slimmer. And some do not. Interestingly, equal conditions, one coaching team. What’s in the way? And what was stopping me all this time before the program? Laziness? Lack of motivation? A love of eating garbage? Apparently all together. But that doesn’t belong in my life anymore.
It’s fun in the “Favorite Fitness” gym. The girls participating in the project, together with the coaches, have fun and compete. Everyone already knows their results. But no one knows what the winner’s results are. Everyone is looking at me and Katya. Katya is a modest, calm girl who so quietly and imperceptibly left 9 kilograms in the gym. Where am I …
A diagnostician enters the hall with a sign in his hands. He smiles at me … and Katya. We look at each other. Katya smiles. So soft, kind. What is she all the same … Two children. And she took up herself. This egoism must be turned off! It’s not a shame to lose to such a rival!
Solemn moment. The winner is announced … No – the winners. There are two of them. There are two of us. Me and Katya. We are both summoned to the center of the hall.
Tatyana Tkacheva lost 10,4% body fat, which is 29,4% of the original. Ekaterina Volkova lost 9,1 kg of weight, all due to adipose tissue, this is 10,2% of the original weight. Girls, we couldn’t choose between you – you both won.
Some day there in the account. Shopping.
I have shopping today! Because: 1) I’m great! 2) I have nothing to wear – and it’s true!
And of course, the Love Republic boutique is the first in line. From afar I see my cherished dress on a hanger. My! Forty-fourth! I fly to the locker room, not looking at anything else. The delicate silk slides so easily over my slimmer body, it fits perfectly on the thighs, which I could not pull it on two months ago. Mirror … Mirror gives me amazing news. My dream dress is big at the waist.
I start to laugh. I laugh out loud, and I do not regret this beautiful dress, which will not be mine anyway. I look at a slender girl in a baggy dress, and I feel sorry for that fat woman who, two months ago, could not, here, in the same fitting room, pull the same dress over herself. But it was me.
I throw off the dress on the hands of a consultant who does not understand anything and go out into the hall. The same shops. I’m different. And I don’t have to look for “emoticon or even elechka” anymore. I can afford a beautiful dress in a beautiful size!
For some reason I didn’t like anything else. Here, in my favorite boutique, where I always came out frustrated by the lack of my size. And in a store completely unknown to me before, my attention was attracted by a slender mannequin in a dress to the floor. Restrained and stylish at the same time, and what a slender silhouette he has! In the fitting room, as always, fear – will it fit? It fit. The village is like a glove. A scarlet belt defines the waist. This is my dress!
Why February 15th? Because I have no time! Work, training, walking with friends … And new fans. How the self-feeling of the girl from the gym changes! No complexes about the tummy or full legs. And I feel confident – and this is very attractive to the opposite sex! Compliments and courting showered on me in the first month of training, and they are more and more every day. And it gives such a positive! And although I am still a “free girl”, it is no longer depressing. Although … Why is it free? But shhh! It’s still a secret! And a completely different story …
Many people ask me what is the secret of my transformation! The secret is simple – love yourself! But love does not mean regret! We can do anything, we just want to! And believe me, there is nothing better than living in a beautiful, athletic and strong body! It’s a different life! And I won’t trade it for anything!
Continuation? Continuation is as follows – everything will be fine! I know 🙂
