Getting a lean and muscular body:

Getting a lean and muscular body requires two things:
1) You must be willing to work hard
2) You must be patient
The problem with 'many' people is that they shy away from anything that
appears to be hard work. They're always looking for short cuts. As soon
as they see something that promises results "quickly," "easily,"
"effortlessly," "while they sleep," "without exercise," and so on, they whip
out their wallets and take the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Shortcuts always fail! Take a shortcut and you're going to get lost, fall
into a
deep hole, or smack into a brick wall!
Everything worth having in life has a price attached to it - EVERYTHING!
If you want a lean and muscular body, you must be willing to pay the
price for a lean and muscular body. STOP looking for easy ways.
Just pay the price and it's yours - and it's yours for life, because you
didn't depend on the crutch of a short-term gimmick.

I agree with your post.....

....however, I find that sometimes things you enjoy don't seem like hard
work...for example

1) LC dieting,
2) weight training, and
3) bicycling

don't seem like hard work to me at all. Sticking to them consistently over
a long period is probably harder.

JIMO.

Roger,
I 'agree' with your post too. )
I find 'most' things enjoyable..........however.....
I love walking 'almost' every single day. When it is in the 90's and
humid as it is here most normally with NY summers, it does take "attitude".
LOL.
I try to get outside by 6am or sooner during those times.
There are times when in the winter it is 30 below for a period of time
and I use the treadmill that it 'becomes' hard as in boring. I have a tv
and an mp3 player that does help. Those are the times I have to as some say
here
"BUTCH UP".
I'm glad that you find most things enjoyable and not hard,
Susie who needs to get use to her bike again. OUCH!

Hey, Susie -- I want to let you know that I too often find me telling myself
to "BUTCH THE HELL UP". I have to put that "THE HELL" in there because it
****es me off that I need to tell myself that, but that's life. I wish I
could say I did it right all the time or that I was 100% "on" all the time.
But I have my limitations, too. So all I can do is live them with and keep
pushing.

On Saturday, after having rode 25 miles on the bike (I fell 3 times, too!),
I had a break down (I was planning 50 miles ). So there I was 11 miles
away from home, with no one to come fetch me. Luckily, it was still before
9 am as I started my walk home with the bike in tow. That reminded me that
walking is a great exercise, even when all you've got to keep you company is
your own boring mind and the bugs (and an occasional dog or three that sees
you as sport). The humidity was talking to me, too! That's one of the
things I don't like about living in the south. I long for my LA/Redondo
Beach days during the summers here.

Hey Roger,
I can swear too........um.........well............a little. )
You fell three times?
Yes, the walking exercise is good too. Do you think I should get you a cell
phone to put in a little pouch
to carry with you? Nah, then you wouldn't get the extra walking in.
Sounds like an experience.
I'd like to get into biking more. It seems that starting over ever summer
after
being off it for the LONG winter my butt sure gives me problems. I might
look into getting a new seat.
Have a nice day,
Susie
PS. don't ya just hate it that I'm a top poster. LOL.

1) LC dieting,

3) bicycling

Roger, I find this to be an outstanding combination. My legs have always
been pretty strong, but bicycling has really made them ripped. Lifting is
helping my upper body regain the muscle I have lost, and LC seems to work
very well for development of muscle and losing the pounds.

I do run now and again and swim as well, but your top three is what I focus
on quite a bit.

Yep....with clipless if you don't unclip when coming to a stop you fall
over.

hehe...I had a cell phone in my little pouch. I had no one to call. Turn
out, I didn't walk the entire 11 miles, just 4. A nice old couple pasted
me -- apparently the man is a cyclist, so when I told him I thought I had 9
more miles to walk (it was really only 7, but I mis-calculated) he when
home, got his other car with the bike rack installed, and gave me a ride.
But I was ready to hoof it home....and I almost turned down his offer, but
by accepting it I got home in time to get to the bike shop so they could fix
my wheel. That let me ride again on Sunday.

:: Sounds like an experience.

Big fun.

Hmm...what kind of seat do you have? I'm a big guy and I don't have too
many problems until the miles start adding up.

Nah...I've gotten used to it all kinds of posters. I refuse to let usenet
happenings get under my skin -- too wasteful of time and energy.

Hi Roger,
Clip-Clipless........I don't have a clue. I never been too much of a biker
but would like to get into it more.
That is neat that you got a ride back home.
I don't know what kind of seat I have. Just a normal cheap bike with
a seat. I'm sorta little and not much um fat on my butt. It will get the
ole butt bones. I guess women have a tendency to rock back in forth.
We don't mean to. )
Smart guy not to let newsgroups get to you.

Here's the thing Suzie. We can't do it the normal way. If we could
there'd be no need for any diet plan to lose weigh. Most of us have been
fighting as best we can for years, and mostly losing the fight. I've been
doing LC for 5 years now, and have found my personal answer to permanent
weight loss.
