Part 2: All inclusive

Meet Jacob, a handsome 23-year-old personal trainer who works in a luxurious 5-star hotel in Chicago. His most regular client is Alexander, the hotel's general manager and heir to a prominent hospitality group.

Alexander, an extremely fit and attractive 32-year-old, is known for his love of expensive and tailor-made clothing. He has a and friendly generous personality, always treating everyone in the hotel with kindness. Little does Jacob know, he has developed a crush on Alexander.

Their daily routine consists of Jacob training Alexander every day. begin They their mornings with a run, after which Jacob attends to other clients until lunchtime. During Alexander's lunch break, Jacob provides him with a workout thorough.

Months pass by, and Jacob begins to notice a change in Alexander's appearance. Due to Alexander's frequent travels for resort openings in the Caribbean, his visits to the hotel and sessions with Jacob become infrequent. On one occasion, Alexander confesses to Jacob that he has struggled to maintain his fitness routine and proper diet while away.

After two months, Jacob's suspicions are confirmed when he a sees noticeable layer of fat on Alexander's body. It turns out that Alexander had gained 18 pounds of fat. Determined to help his client get back in shape, Jacob contacts the chef at the Caribbean resorts and requests a balanced diet for Alexander while he is traveling.

In the beginning, Alexander sends Jacob pictures of his workouts and healthy meals, showing his dedication to the plan. However, as the weeks pass and the opening of the resorts approaches, communication becomes sparse due to Alexander's busy schedule.

Taking advantage of this period, Jacob focuses on building muscle for himself, as he no longer needs to run with Alexander.

Another two months go by, and Jacob is astonished when he weighs Alexander again. Not only did Alexander gain 20 pounds of muscle, but there was also an additional 25 pounds of fat. It is clear that Alexander had not adhered to the plan.

Seeing that Alexander was genuinely bothered by his weight gain, Jacob devises a grueling workout and diet plan. Alex follows it diligently six for months and successfully loses the unwanted weight.

Impressed with Jacob's dedication and effectiveness, Alexander calls him into his office. As Alex changes, his newly transformed body looks incredible. He makes Jacob an enticing offer: for the next year, Jacob would be a secret guest in all the new resorts. All expenses would be covered, allowing him to experience everything the hotels have to offer.

Unable to resist such an opportunity, Jacob agrees. He will be required to return to Chicago every six weeks to provide reports of his experiences, along with weekly email updates. In addition, after the year is over, an even better position at the hotel group will be offered to Jacob.

Arrived at his first hotel he found out that he had a big room at the club level, that means not only all inclusive restaurants but also endless snacks and room service. The hotel was amazing and all the experiences of the hotel were good. The staff was friendly and it had all the facilities he needs. He was very serious about his reportings every week. He thought of many ideas that could be implemented in the future.

As the first days went by he did get in good workouts. With a little bit improving the hotel gym would be an amazing facility for the hotels healthfreaks.

He remembered the name of the chef and asked him to prepare a full meal schedule for the coming 6 weeks. He lied to the chef when asked about the purpose of his long trip. He told him he was on a long leave to think about his future plans and bulk up his muscles as a marketing tool for potential private clients.

He became friends with the chef that. The chef told everyone behind his back that Jacob knows the general manager very well. This meant that the rest of the weeks during his stay went well. All the staff members made sure he had an amazing stay.

After the 6th week he went back to Chicago for his first report. He mentioned the friendly staff and the amazing hospitality he received. He gave some good ideas to the marketing department and prepared his next trip. He asked the chef to ask his colleague in the next resort to prepare a 6 week diet program.

Of course, the chef informed his colleague about the fact that Jacob and the general manager were well acquainted. Upon arriving at the next resort, he realized that he was receiving even better service than before. This particular resort was perfect for health enthusiasts like Jacob, with an amazing gym and staff who knew how to cater to demanding health-conscious guests.

Jacob could really focus on improving his physique and gaining muscle. In the first hotel, he managed to bulk up by 20lbs. Over the course of the following 6 weeks, he gained an additional 30lbs of muscle. Jacob spent as much time as possible in the gym, even earning some extra cash by offering tips and workout plans to interested hotel guests. He also assisted the staff in creating balanced diet plans for the guests.

The progress meeting went well, and everyone was pleased to hear positive feedback about the first two resorts. They had even seen favorable online reviews about the hotel's hospitality, which motivated Jacob even more.

The third hotel was a bit different. The chef had a more traditional approach, and the guests were generally older. The atmosphere was quieter, so Jacob focused solely on his fitness goals. The food was good, but not specifically designed for health enthusiasts like him. He decided that a little bit of extra fat would be acceptable to bulk up faster. Therefore, he started lifting heavier weights and consuming more calories. After 6 weeks, he had gained about 18lbs of muscle and fat. Although his abs were still visible, they were not as defined due to the added fat. He felt a bit isolated at this hotel, so he was eager to leave after the 6 weeks.

The progress meeting went well, and Jacob began preparing for his next trip. He attempted to have his chef friend connect him with the fourth chef, but unfortunately, this was not successful. The fourth resort was enormous and had an impersonal approach to guest relations. However, the resort itself was incredible, with a casino, a massive spa, and five restaurants. As it was located on a private island, there was minimal opportunity to leave. Jacob decided it was time for some relaxation. On his first night, he explored the hotel and dined at two of the restaurants, enjoying excellent food that aligned with his own dietary plan.

The next morning, he was slightly disappointed by the gym at the resort. It was one area that had not undergone a proper renovation. Nevertheless, he did his best to make the most of the equipment available, knowing he would have to be resourceful in this gym.

The first week went by, and Jacob was able to truly unwind and recharge. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name – it was Tom and Jake, old college friends. They still looked as attractive as ever. He explained his job to them and they invited Jacob to join their boys' trip. Both Tom and Jake had recently ended their relationships and were looking to escape their heartbreak..

The three muscular guys started drinking and partying at the bars in the restaurants, which Jacob rarely did. That night, Jacob discovered the endless supply of snacks and room service at his club-level room. They eagerly joined him, and for the next three weeks, was a it blur - hangovers cured by greasy breakfasts and more beer, and the cash he earned in his previous hotel was gambled away in casino.

They also discovered the that spa offered great discounts for club-level guests, so they often went there to massage away their headaches. The spa manager, a handsome 22-year-old guy named Matthew, caught Jacob's attention.

They chatted, but their interaction was limited due to house rules forbidding staff members from meeting up with guests. However, Matthew managed to get Jacob and his friends even more discounts, and they saw each other almost every day during that week.

Matthew overheard some conversations among the three guys, but couldn't make sense of them yet. After his friends left, Jacob continued to indulge in the endless supply of snacks and his eating habits changed overnight from healthy to comfort food. He also stopped using the gym frequently, only occasionally working out his arms or chest. On the last day of his stay, he stepped the scale and on was shocked to discover that he had gained 30lbs of fat. He loved time with his friends but regretted what his followed. How could he get back to his routine like this?

During the report meeting he suggested that a more personal approach would help customer satisfaction and revenue increase. With that in mind, he moved on to the fourth resort, a boutique resort near a city. While everything was arranged for him - including a nice little rooftop pool, a trendy bar, and nearby restaurants - there was no available. This hindered Jacob from restarting his fitness routine. He had a personal driver who took him everywhere, and every aspect of his stay was taken care of, from breakfast in his room to cultural trips and visits to the beach. Each night, the bar was filled with young people, and after pacing himself in the beginning, Jacob eventually started having late-night drinks too. Since the resort was relatively small, he decided to shorten his stay to four weeks.

During the report meeting back in Chicago, they appreciated Jacob's feedback about personal guest experiences and came up with a pilot program. They wanted Jacob to test it out at the fifth resort and see what improvements could be made. Upon arrival, Jacob was pleasantly surprised to see Matthew again. He heard about the pilot program and as applied a relations manager guest. This meant that Matthew would become Jacob's personal butler for the next six weeks.

Jacob hoped to separate his feelings for Matthew, as professionalism of utmost importance. However was, Matthew ensured that Jacob had everything he needed, from unpacking his suitcase to placing a bottle of champagne in his. room Every morning, he brought Jacob breakfast took care of his and lunch and dinner preferences. He also became a nice companion as, the solitude of hotel life was starting to get to Jacob. After two weeks, Jacob offered Matthew a glass of champagne, explaining that he needed a friend that night as he missed his friends after much time traveling. Matthew didn't want to hurt Jacob's feelings, so he accepted the offer. What started one as drink turned into two, and three bottles. They both ended drunk. Matthew confessed that he had fallen in love with Jacob the moment they met, but he wanted to maintain professionalism. He also mentioned that he knew about Jacob being a secret guest.

The next morning, Jacob and Matthew woke up with major hangovers, promising each other not to tell anyone about what happened. Matthew went straight to work and ordered a huge breakfast for Jacob, bringing in snacks all day. Everywhere Jacob went, Matthew made sure he had something to eat and drink, whether it was lunch at the beach, cocktails on the terrace, or snacks in the room.

One night, Jacob started to complain about his weight and showed Matthew pictures of himself from a year ago. Surprisingly, Matthew told him that he didn't want Jacob to lose weight because he found him gorgeous as he was. Jacob was taken aback since he felt unattractive at that point. However, he thought to himself, "Yeah, okay, I may be manly, strong, and big." Matthew expressed his desire to gain muscle, confessing that he struggled to gain weight no matter what he tried. Jacob saw an opportunity to help him and suggested a deal - he would continue his stay at the resort for another 10 weeks, four at the current resort and six at the last one, with one week of report meetings in between. In return, Jacob would not lose weight, but he would push Matthew to reach a goal weight of 40lbs. Matthew accepted the challenge, thinking that even if he couldn't reach the goal, he would make Jacob as big as possible to make it harder for him to lose weight.

Jacob wrote a rigorous program of workouts and meals for Matthew. The four weeks in the fifth resort were incredible, as they did everything together. Matthew made sure Jacob had enough fattening snacks, and Jacob continuously ordered protein-rich food for Matthew. As Jacob's personal butler, Matthew accompanied him everywhere.

During the fifth report meeting, Jacob enthusiastically shared his experience with having a personal guest relations manager and expressed his desire to have the same arrangement in the last resort. They agreed to his request.

The sixth and final resort was a dream - an all-inclusive paradise. Jacob had grown so big that he doubted he would ever return to his fit days. Stepping on the scale, he discovered that he weighed 362lbs, effectively doubling his weight since he first started working as a fitness trainer for Alexander.

Matthew did everything in his power to prevent Jacob from getting fit again. He adhered to the program Jacob created and constantly stuffed himself, even when he was already full or tired. Jacob ensured that Matthew reached his daily calorie goals, making it a painful intake and stressful endeavor. Nevertheless, both of them were excited for the last day - would Matthew reach his goal? 

All of a sudden Jacob panicked, what will Alexander think of his new shape? What will his new in the company be? 

[igglemouse]

A scattering of seeds, a sprinkle of water, and one passing night brings forth new life. Little green bushes sprout from the dirt, promising a revolution and proving the Flower Bunny correct. Spring is in full bloom and flowers aren’t the only thing promising to blossom.

How could I not speak of the kiss between Pascal and I, after all? A tender moment between us yesterday that had my mind lingering with thoughts of him. Was that single moment under a warm spring day the sign of something more enduring?

Or could it be that my relationship with him will wither under the hot summer sun when it comes?

But today is a new day and with it comes new possibilities. With it being Friday I figured I would open the stand a little later, catch people coming home from work and ready to wind down after a busy work week. People that might not be up for cooking themselves who would be willing to part with a few simoleons to have a meal from someone else.

This decision gives me a gift of time for the morning, time well spent with laundry so that I too could prepare for what I hope is a busy and fulfilling weekend.

The weekend starts with a workout!

Pascal’s introduced me to this gym and I mean to become a regular here if for no other reason than he endorses it. He’s a professional athlete after all so if this place is good enough for him then it must be good enough for me.

It does not take long to find the appeal. There’s a calm vibe to the gym, a quiet that is only filled with the clanking of weights, machines, and sharp exhales of effort.

The treadmill’s themselves are meditative, the belt thrumming smoothly under each step I take on my journey to nowhere and everywhere all at once. Before long I begin to lose myself to the session, each step a building block towards someone better, each minute proof of my will.

Yeah. I could definitely get into this.

I wipe the back of my hand against my forehead, moistening it with my sweat, satisfied but not yet content. What’s that old phrase? No pain, no gain! I’m sweating but my legs still feel fresh and tell me that there’s still more to go. I reach down on the treadmill to increase the pace-

“You new here?” a woman asks, her voice smacking aside my focus like a clank of weights. “Just wanted to let you know that this one,” she looks down to the treadmill. “Can be a little quirky.”

“Ummm-”

“Yeeep. It likes to challenge people randomly every now and then or maybe it likes the taste of face,” I look at her confused. Perhaps something was lost in translation here because I have no idea what she means. “It’s broken,” she clarifies. “Just a warning!”

“O-oh! Gracias!”

Since I could not afford an injury at this time I stopped off the treadmill right away and followed her outside. Not the wisest of ideas. The sun seemingly mocked the idea that it was spring at all and instead hinted at what a summer day would feel like here in Oasis.

We stopped on a rightfully empty basketball court because who would want to play anything outside in his heat?

“Sorry, Simlish es no my first language,” I tell her as a precaution because I have a feeling she’s wanting a conversation. “I’m Frida.”

“Frida…cute accent! Marjorie but you can call me Marge,” she says with a welcoming smile. “How long have you been here?”

“Not a week,” I reply with a breathy chuckle.

“And already here at the gym? I like your style,” she says with a nod of her head and a wipe of her brow as well. The heat was definitely going to have us seeking shelter.

“You’ll find me here most days,” she continues, tossing her head back towards the gym. “Don’t forget about that treadmill either, better safe than sorry, right? See you later Frida.”

Perhaps I’ve met a new friend.

I get home and sink into a tub of water that has been bombed with a freshly sweet lavender scent. I think I’ve used too much because there are so many bubbles that they foam over the edge of the tub but what does that matter? It’s Friday and I plan on squeezing as much enjoyment from it as possible.

It’s not like I even get weekends off. I run a business by myself. Sola. That means my schedule is filled with work which also means I need to savor every moment of peace I can find.

But just because my schedule is filled with work doesn’t mean it’s actual ‘work’ if you catch my meaning. Cooking, as I’ve said before, brings me joy. Maybe I am easily pleased but buying a new pizza oven and making my own pizza, standard cheese pizza, the classic, completely makes my day!

I think pizza will be a very important part of my stand, it’s affordable and munchable and I can charge per slice! Perfect! Let’s just hope it’s actually good!

I step outside ready to begin my daily sale but am met immediately by a stranger. My neighbor, he claims tobe at least. “Just wanted to say hello and officially welcome you!” His voice is filled with the zeal of an overly enthusiastic neighbor. “I’ve been keeping my eye on you-”

“Oh?” caution leaks from my one word reply. The last thing I want is some neighbor keeping watch over me after all.

“O-oh! No, not like that!” he catches my caution and realizes how his introduction must seem to me. “I’m just down the road and across the street. It’s just a phrase I guess.” He then introduces himself as Oscar Fuentes.

“Hola Oscar! Cómo es-”

“No no no no, sorry, I don’t speak Selvadoradian,” he cuts me off quickly bringing a smirk to my lips. I kind of guessed he might because of his name but it’s actually better that he doesn’t because…

“Sorry, no speak Simlish!” I tell him and basically shoo him along. I have a feeling this is the nosy neighbor type and if that is true then the less interaction with him the better.

“Oh! No, it is I that is sorry! I just wanted to say your food stand adds a real punch to the neighborhood! I wanted to thank you personally and…” his words drift as I give him my best confused look to really drive the point home. “Ah, I see, well, hopefully another time. See you around?”

“Yes, yes, bye.”

Oscar takes the hint and leaves me to setting up my stand. I must admit that doing it much later in the afternoon just initially has a better feel to it and that is because of the weather.

One thing about hot climates is that there is always a perfect time of day, the sweet spot, and right now I was settled in the middle of it. Maybe that’s why my voice had a bit more pop and energy to it and maybe that’s why I pull in 166 simoleons.

It’s not a huge sum to be sure but it is a pattern, a hint of some consistency, proof that maybe I am catching on and maybe there is a future here for me after all…

A guard blocks the exit to the room with a posture that said he would be ready to defend order with all that he had. Which, in this case, was a simple can of pepper spray. Here at ADX Desierto it was all a guard could have because the risk of a prisoner wrestling away a baton, knife, or gun, was far too much. While a prisoner couldn’t plot an escape with either he could send a man just doing his job to an early grave and anyone who called his place home had little to lose. Some even welcomed the execution that might come from such an option.

Thankfully, this particular guard was here more as a formality. The prisoner who shared the room with him had been one of those tamed with time and religion, a man who only wanted to find redemption through the watcher and through his daughter.

A daughter he called once a week to absolutely no reply. The guard had hoped this week would be different, that she would pick up her phone and offer the man a pinch of hope, but as Anthony slammed the phone down against the receiver he knew that she was still avoiding him. Perhaps even had him blocked…

The guard was ready to escort Anthony back to his cell because usually the man, the killer, he reminded himself, would only try to call his daughter and that was it but today he held up his hand for a moment and started to dial another number.

For a moment the guard thought to warn him that all calls were recorded. Some prisoners, men whose ego were larger than the desert they were housed in, would try to conduct business behind bars and that would only add to their punishment or their time (as if a man with over 100 years left on his sentence cared much about added time). The guard thought to warn Anthony but then reminded himself again that this was a killer. Despite the calm and now tame demeanor all it took was one look into his eyes to know that this was a man who could shoot him dead in the head and think nothing of it.

So he remained in his spot, guarding the door, and instead eaves dropped on his conversation which was mostly pushed through quick and hushed phrases…

“Just make sure she’s okay….she never picks up…just check on her….got it?”

Was all he could make out. Eventually, his 15 minutes were up.

And eventually the guard is back into the heart of the facility, the corridor with steel bars on either side of him, so full and packed that a prisoners can talk to each other (and often do) and even reach across the hall to pass things around.

The guard’s steps are silent, the quiet approach taken more for necessity than fear as this time of night had given way to rest which meant even the more unpredictable prisoners had opted for sleep. Even still, just walking these halls had made him nervous. Sometimes, the best that can happen is prisoners throwing things at you, sometimes even feces, and even still that is better than the story of an officer being pulled to the cage and getting choked out and nearly dying.

Thankfully for him Anthony’s cell was not far and even better, no one messed with Anthony and so it felt more like Anthony was escorting himself to his cell and not the other way around.

The guard’s farewell is soft and filled with a hint of sympathy that would flee with the click and lock of his cell. Leaving Anthony alone in a place he had learned to call home and even appreciate.

He was told when he made his pledge to the cartel that there were only two ways out, in a casket or behind bars, he thought the former was always the only real option. He’d go out in a blaze of glory before submitting to order and begging mercy from the law…and yet, he’s glad to still be alive.

His past is one of death, a thread of lives all worthy of being ended and yet lives all the same. The faces of his victims blurs at best, the names never placed into his memory and the emotions attached to them completely non-existent. He was given a target and a bag of simoleons when the job was done. No questions asked.

It brought him simoleons, that’s all that mattered then, and it allowed him to live a life he could have only dreamed of. A life he would have happily snuffed out himself if it meant being here locked in a maximum security prison for the rest of his life with no chance of escape.

But this was a debt he learned he had to pay and his confinement had left him with his thoughts, his own thoughts, not those tainted by powder or drugs, but thoughts of a father who had once seen the promise of a life he had turned down.

He would survive, he would serve the rest of his hundred year sentence because it is what she asked of him. It is what he owed her. He never planned to father her, he barely knew her mother after all. His concept of family were the men who paid him and never anything more than that. He fought for them, he killed for them, but the cold concrete and steel of this building had taught him that family isn’t who you fight for, its who you live for.

He knew there was no redemption here, that the Watcher would be insane to ever forgive the list of sins he’s committed, his soul had been judged and condemned.

But there was still time for Frida…

Your Ultimate Guide to Rapid Weight Loss at Home!

Are you tired of feeling sluggish and uncomfortable in your own skin? Do you want to lose weight fast but don't have the time or money to hit the gym or hire a personal trainer? Fear not, my friend, because you've come to the right place! In this ultimate guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about rapid weight loss at home. From setting realistic goals to creating a healthy meal plan, we've got you covered. So grab a glass of water, put on your favorite workout gear, and let's get started!

Why Rapid Weight Loss at Home?  First things first, why should you consider rapid weight loss at home? Well, for starters, it's convenient and cost-effective. You don't need a fancy gym membership or expensive equipment to get started. Plus, when you're working out at home, you can do it on your own time and at your own pace. It's also a great way to build healthy habits that will stick with you long-term.

Set Realistic Goals: The key to any successful weight loss journey is setting realistic goals. It's important to remember that rapid weight loss doesn't happen overnight, and it's not sustainable in the long run. A safe and healthy rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. So, if you want to lose 10 pounds, aim to do it in 5-10 weeks.

3. Get Moving: Now that you've set your goals, it's time to get moving! Exercise is an essential part of any weight loss journey. It helps you burn calories, builds muscle, and boosts your metabolism. The good news is, there are plenty of workouts you can do at home without any equipment. Try bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and push-ups, or follow along with a fitness video on YouTube.

4. Mix It Up: Variety is the spice of life, and it's also important when it comes to exercise. Doing the same workout every day can get boring and lead to a plateau in your weight loss progress. Mix things up by trying different types of workouts, like yoga, dance, or HIIT (high-intensity interval training).

5. Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is crucial for weight loss. Not only does it help flush out toxins and keep you feeling full, but it also boosts your metabolism. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and try to replace sugary drinks like soda and juice with water whenever possible.

6. Watch Your Diet: Exercise is only part of the equation when it comes to weight loss. You also need to pay attention to what you're eating. A healthy diet should consist of plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and fast food. Consider tracking your calories and macros using an app like MyFitnessPal.

7. Meal Prep: Meal prepping is a great way to stay on track with your diet and save time during the week. Dedicate a day to planning and preparing your meals for the week ahead. Choose recipes that are healthy and easy to make in large batches, like chili, stir-fry, or roasted veggies.

8. Snack Smart: Snacking can be a healthy part of your diet, as long as you're choosing the right foods. Opt for snacks that are high in protein and fiber, like nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit. Avoid sugary snacks and processed foods, as they can spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling hungry again soon after.

9. Get Enough Sleep: Getting enough sleep is crucial for weight loss and overall health. Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism, leading to overeating and weight gain. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and establish a consistent sleep routine to help your body get into a rhythm.

If you have trouble falling asleep, try practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bed. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, especially in the evening, as they can interfere with sleep quality. Creating a sleep-conducive environment, like keeping your bedroom cool and dark, can also help improve the quality of your sleep.

Remember, getting enough sleep is not only important for weight loss, but also for your overall health and well-being. Prioritizing rest and sleep can make a big difference in your weight loss journey.

10. Manage Stress: Stress can also contribute to weight gain, as it can lead to overeating and unhealthy food choices. Find ways to manage your stress, like meditation, yoga, or journaling. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.

11. Don't Skip Meals: Skipping meals can actually sabotage your weight loss efforts. When you skip meals, your metabolism slows down and your body goes into starvation mode, which can lead to overeating later on. Instead, aim to eat small, frequent meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism revved up.

12. Find a Support System: Having a support system can make all the difference when it comes to weight loss. Whether it's a friend, family member, or online community, find people who will cheer you on and hold you accountable. Sharing your journey with others can also help you stay motivated and inspired.

13. Be Kind to Yourself: Remember, weight loss is a journey, not a destination. It's important to be kind to yourself along the way, and not beat yourself up for slip-ups or setbacks. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and focus on the positive changes you're making in your life.

14. Monitor Your Progress: Tracking your progress can be a great way to stay motivated and see how far you've come. Take measurements and photos at the start of your journey, and monitor your weight and body composition regularly. Celebrate your milestones along the way, like fitting into a smaller size jeans or running a mile without stopping.

15. Consult a Professional: If you're struggling to lose weight or have any underlying health conditions, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional. They can help you create a personalized plan that takes into account your unique needs and goals. They can also provide guidance on any supplements or medications that may be helpful in your weight loss journey.

Discover Efficient Techniques for Rapid Weight Loss at Home with this Comprehensive Guide!

In conclusion, rapid weight loss at home is achievable with the right mindset, strategies, and support. By setting realistic goals, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, managing stress, and getting enough sleep, you can make sustainable changes to your lifestyle and achieve your weight loss goals. Remember to be kind to yourself along the way and celebrate your progress. You've got this!

4 Steps to Lose 20 Pounds in 6 Weeks

1. Find a workout that’s doable and one that you enjoy.

Some people like lifting heavy weights, some like running, and others like fitness classes such as yoga or zumba. The first step is to find the exercise that works for you. Try different kinds of workouts and test which one you enjoy the most. We have workout plans to introduce you to different styles of training, including running, yoga, Crossfit, and Tabata.

Once you find an exercise you enjoy, your job is to make it a habit to go to the gym. The challenge this week is to exercise 5-6 days of the week for at least 45 minutes. You decide where, when, and what to do, but you must work out.

Step one should last for one to two weeks, but you should continue to work out 5-6 days per week for the duration of the six-week period. During these first weeks, exercise should be your priority. Reducing your calorie intake when you’re starting a new exercise regime can put undue stress on the body. For now, focus on adding exercise without worrying about your diet. Try to keep your caloric intake about the same.

Recommended Time Frame: 1-2 weeks

2. Cut back on added sugars and fried food.

Nutrition is complicated. There are macronutrients (fats, carbs, and protein) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). You need to consider your fiber intake, how much sugar you eat, if the sugar you’re eating has a low or high glycemic index – let’s just say it’s overwhelming. But don’t worry. You don’t need to understand all of these nutrition concepts to begin a healthy diet. For step two, we’ll keep things simple. Your job is to cut back on the amount of added sugar and fried food you consume. This doesn’t mean that you should eliminate it from your diet altogether. Instead, try eating a little bit less each day. Stock stevia to sweeten your food. Whenever possible, replace white sugar with natural sweeteners like honey. Good ways of cutting back on sugar include:

1. Replace cereals with stevia-sweetened oatmeal. 2. Reduce the amount of soda you consume. If you drink a bottle every day, limit sodas to every other day. If you only order it at restaurants, ask for sparkling water instead. 3. If you buy almond or soy milk, try the unsweetened version. It’s an easy way to cut 100 calories from your day. 4. Choose fresh fruit over dried fruit. 5. Choose a light salad dressing or make your own.

6. Limit desserts to once a week. If you crave something sweet at other times, have fresh fruit. 7. If you’re craving a rich dessert such as ice cream, evade the craving by drinking a tall glass of milk. You can also eat some stevia-sweetened Greek yogurt or a creamy smoothie.

For step 2, you should also reduce fried food. This includes fried chicken, french fries, and potato chips. The good news is that you can get all of these foods baked instead of fried. Baking your food will save you hundreds of calories and will help you avoid trans fats that are linked to weight gain and cardiac disease.

Recommended Time Frame: 2-3 weeks.

3. Step up your clean-eating lifestyle.

After 2 to 3 weeks of cutting back on added sugars and fried food, work on cleaning up the rest of your diet. Learn how many calories you should be eating and divide them between meals and snacks. Remember that perfection is not necessary for progress.

You can lose weight while allowing yourself an occasional treat. Schedule a cheat meal that allows you to eat your favorite foods once a week or once every two weeks. Use the following guidelines for the rest of your meals:

1. Start your mornings with fiber and protein. Meal ideas include vegetable omelets made with egg whites, oatmeal sweetened with stevia, or yogurt topped with nuts, seeds, and fresh berries. 2. Keep your stomach full by eating large servings of vegetables at every lunch and dinner. The fiber in the vegetables will keep you full longer. 3. Have lean protein every day. This includes chicken breast, turkey, soy, and fat-free plain Greek yogurt.

Recommended Time Frame: 2 weeks.

4. Form habits.

The final step is the hardest, but if you’ve committed to the first three steps, the fourth should be a breeze. To wrap up our 4-step program, we challenge you to create healthy habits all around. It’s easy to make it to the gym every day when it’s part of your routine. Resisting junk food gets easier the more you do it. Once a healthy lifestyle becomes a habit, you’ll find you maintain it easily. You’ll continue to slim down and grow stronger.

HOW TO LOSE FAT WHILE GAINING MUSCLE 

Body recomposition indicates the process of simultaneously losing fat and gaining muscle. Unlike traditional approaches that focus on either weight loss or muscle gain, body recomposition aims to improve overall body composition by increasing muscle mass while reducing fat. 

Key Principles of Body Recomposition 

Caloric Balance 

Slight caloric deficit: To lose fat, you generally need to be in a caloric deficit, meaning you consume fewer calories than your body needs. However, for body recomposition, the deficit should be small enough to allow for muscle growth. 

Caloric cycling: Some people find success with caloric cycling, where they consume more calories (especially carbs) on training days to fuel workouts and less on rest days. 

Macronutrient Balance 

High protein intake: Protein is Important for muscle repair and growth. Target for 0.7–1 gram of protein per pound of body weight (1.6–2.2 grams per kilogram). 

Carbohydrates and fats: Balance your intake of carbs and fats based on your energy needs, focusing on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. 

Strength Training 

Focus on resistance training: Regular strength training, especially compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and presses, is essential for stimulating muscle growth. 

Progressive overload: Gradually increase the weight, reps, or sets to continuously challenge your muscles and promote hypertrophy (muscle growth). 

Cardiovascular Exercise 

Incorporate cardio wisely: Moderate cardio can help with fat loss, but too much can interfere with muscle gain. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is often recommended because it burns calories quickly and preserves muscle mass. 

Recovery and Rest 

Sleep: Quality sleep (7–9 hours per night) is vital for recovery, muscle repair, and overall health. 

Rest days: Include rest or active recovery days to allow your body to repair and grow. 

Tracking Progress 

Body measurements: Track your body measurements (waist, hips, arms, etc.) to gauge fat loss and muscle gain. 

Strength gains: Monitor your strength improvements in the gym to indicate muscle growth. 

Body fat percentage: If possible, track changes in body fat percentage through methods like calipers, bioelectrical impedance, or DEXA scans. 

Consistency and Patience 

Stick to your plan: Body recomposition is a gradual process that requires consistent effort over time. 

Be patient: Changes in body composition take time. Focus on long-term progress rather than quick fixes. 

Sample Body Recomposition Plan 

Nutrition: 

Calculate your maintenance calories, then create a slight deficit (e.g., 200–300 calories). 

Dwell on protein (1 gram per pound of body weight). 

Include a balanced mix of carbs and fats. 

Training: 

Strength training: 3–5 times per week focusing on full-body or split routines. 

Cardio: 2–3 sessions of moderate cardio or HIIT per week. 

Recovery: 

Ensure 7–9 hours of sleep per night. 

Incorporate rest days and active recovery. 

Strange mountain tea removes 3lbs every 4 days

Supplements (Optional): 

Protein powder: To meet protein needs. 

Creatine: To support strength and muscle gain. 

Multivitamin/Fish oil: For overall health. 

Body recomposition is a powerful approach to achieving a leaner, more muscular physique without the need for drastic bulking and cutting phases. By following a structured plan and staying consistent, you can achieve your goals over time.

How I Slimmed Down at Home: My Top Tips and Effective Exercises for Lasting Results.

With busy schedules and the convenience of processed foods, weight gain can sneak up on us. However, slimming your body doesn’t require expensive gym memberships or elaborate diets. You can achieve your weight loss goals from the comfort of your home with the right approach. In this article, we’ll explore effective tips and exercises to help you slim down at home.

Understanding Weight Loss

Before diving into the specifics, it’s essential to understand the basics of weight loss. At its core, weight loss is about creating a calorie deficit, which means consuming fewer calories than your body burns. You can achieve this by maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise.

The Role of Metabolism: Your metabolism plays a significant role in how your body burns calories. While genetics do play a part, you can boost your metabolism through diet and exercise.

Common Myths and Misconceptions: There are many myths about weight loss, such as the idea that you need to starve yourself or do extreme workouts. These approaches are not only unsustainable but also unhealthy. The key is to adopt a balanced and consistent routine.

Diet Tips for Slimming Down at Home

Balanced Diet: The foundation of any successful weight loss plan is a healthy diet. Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and keep you feeling full.

Meal Planning and Preparation: Planning your meals ahead of time can help you make healthier choices and avoid the temptation of fast food. Prepare meals that include a variety of vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Incorporate More Vegetables and Fruits: Vegetables and fruits are low in calories but high in nutrients and fiber, making them ideal for weight loss. Keep your workouts varied by trying different exercises and routines.

Choosing Lean Proteins: Protein is crucial for building and maintaining muscle, which in turn helps burn fat. Include sources like chicken, fish, tofu, and legumes in your diet.

Reducing Processed Foods and Sugars: Processed foods and sugary drinks are high in empty calories and can sabotage your weight loss efforts. Opt for whole foods and water instead.

Hydration: Drinking plenty of water is essential for weight loss. Drinking enough water can help manage hunger and boost your metabolism. Aim for 8–10 glasses daily.

Healthy Snacking Options: Instead of reaching for chips or cookies, choose healthy snacks like nuts, yogurt, or fresh fruit. These options will keep you satisfied without the extra calories.

Effective Home Exercises for Weight Loss

Types of Exercises: Incorporating a variety of exercises into your routine will help you burn calories and tone your body. Focus on cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and flexibility exercises.

Cardiovascular Exercises: These exercises get your heart rate up and burn a lot of calories. Examples include jumping jacks, running in place, and high knees. Aim for at least 30 minutes of cardio 3–5 times a week.

Strength Training Exercises: Building muscle is essential for a healthy metabolism. You can do bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and lunges, or use resistance bands and dumbbells. Incorporate strength training into your routine 2–3 times per week.

Flexibility and Balance Exercises: Yoga and Pilates are great for improving flexibility and balance, which are important for overall fitness and injury prevention. These exercises also help reduce stress, which can aid in weight loss.

Sample Home Workout Routine

Warm-up: 5–10 minutes of light cardio, like marching in place or gentle jogging.

Main Workout

Cardio: 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) — alternate 1 minute of high-intensity exercise with 1 minute of rest.

Strength Training Exercises: Building muscle is essential for a healthy metabolism. You can do bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and lunges, or use resistance bands and dumbbells. Incorporate strength training into your routine 2–3 times per week.

Flexibility and Balance Exercises: Yoga and Pilates are great for improving flexibility and balance, which are important for overall fitness and injury prevention. These exercises also help reduce stress, which can aid in weight loss.

Sample Home Workout Routine

Warm-up: 5–10 minutes of light cardio, like marching in place or gentle jogging.

Cardio: 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) — alternate 1 minute of high-intensity exercise with 1 minute of rest.

Strength Training: 20 minutes of bodyweight exercises — 3 sets of 15 squats, lunges, push-ups, and planks.

Cool down and Stretch 5–10 minutes of stretching, focusing on all major muscle groups.

Creating a Sustainable Fitness Routine

Consistency is key to any successful weight loss plan. Here are some tips to help you create a sustainable fitness routine:

Setting Realistic Goals: Set achievable and specific goals for your weight loss journey. Instead of losing 10kg in a month, aim for 1–2kg per week.

Staying Motivated: Keep your motivation high by tracking your progress. Use a journal or app to record your workouts and weight changes. Celebrate small victories along the way.

Incorporating Variety: To avoid boredom and keep your body challenged, mix up your workouts. Try different exercises and routines to keep things interesting.

Finding Support: Having a workout buddy or joining an online community can provide accountability and encouragement. Stay motivated by sharing your goals and progress with others.

Lifestyle Changes to Support Weight Loss

Getting Enough Sleep: Sleep is crucial for weight loss. Ensure you get 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night, as lack of sleep can disrupt metabolism and increase cravings for unhealthy foods.

Managing Stress: Chronic stress can lead to weight gain. Incorporate stress-relieving activities into your routine, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies you enjoy.

Reducing Sedentary Behaviour: If you have a desk job, make a conscious effort to move more throughout the day Take frequent breaks to stand, stretch, or walk around. Consider using a standing desk if possible.

Utilizing Technology and Resources

Fitness Apps and Online Resources: Many apps and websites offer workout plans, meal ideas, and progress-tracking tools. Some popular ones include MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, and YouTube fitness channels.

Wearable Technology: Fitness trackers and smartwatches can help you monitor your activity levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns.

Online Workout Classes: Many fitness instructors offer online classes that you can join from home. These classes provide structure and motivation, making it easier to stick to your workout plan.

Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them

Dealing with Plateaus: It’s common to hit a weight loss plateau after a few weeks. To overcome this, mix up your workouts and adjust your diet. Sometimes, increasing your calorie intake slightly can help jumpstart your metabolism.

Managing Time Effectively: If you struggle to find time for workouts, try breaking them into shorter sessions throughout the day. Even 10-minute bursts of activity can be effective.

Handling Cravings: Cravings can derail your diet, but there are strategies to manage them. Keep healthy snacks on hand, stay hydrated, and practice mindful eating. Sometimes, a craving is a sign of an emotional need rather than physical hunger.

Conclusion

Slimming your body at home is entirely achievable with the right mindset and tools. By adopting a balanced diet, incorporating effective exercises, and making sustainable lifestyle changes, you can reach your weight loss goals. Remember to stay consistent, set realistic goals, and seek support when needed.

Are Negative Pull Ups Effective? Discover the Untold Secrets!

Ever wondered if Pull-Ups are worth your time or Are negative pull ups effective? I get it—when you’re busting your ass in the gym, you want every rep to count. Negative pull ups might seem like a gimmick, but trust me, they’re not. These bad boys zero in on the often-overlooked eccentric phase of the exercise, giving your muscles a brutal workout that pays off big time. So, are they effective? Buckle up, because we’re about to dive deep into why negative pull-ups could be your secret weapon for crushing fitness goals.

The Basics of Negative Pull-Ups

Negative pull ups are not your run-of-the-mill exercise. They focus on the eccentric part of the pull up—where you lower yourself slowly from the top position. It’s different from the full pull up, which involves both lifting and lowering. Here’s the kicker: while regular pull ups are tough, negative pull ups zero in on building strength by forcing your muscles to work hard during the descent. The Science Behind Negative Pull-Ups

Muscles don’t just grow by lifting weights; they also need to handle controlled descents. Negative pull-ups engage your muscles intensely during the lowering phase. This eccentric contraction is a powerhouse for muscle growth and strength. Why? Because your muscles are under more strain when you lower yourself slowly compared to when you pull up. This prolonged tension is crucial for building endurance and muscle mass. Learn More about the science behind Negative Pull Ups. Benefits of Negative Pull Ups Let’s break it down: - Increased Strength: Negative pull ups force your muscles to work harder. This helps in building overall upper body strength. - Improved Pull Up Performance: They make regular pull ups easier by strengthening the muscles needed for the full movement. - Enhanced Control: By focusing on the descent, you improve your control and technique, crucial for progressing in calisthenics. Pro Tip: Focus on a slow, controlled descent during negative pull ups to maximize muscle engagement and strength gains. Are Negative Pull Ups Effective? Are negative pull ups really effective? It’s a fair question. Some might think they’re just a gimmick, but let’s be clear: they’re backed by science. The key is consistency and proper form. Potential drawbacks? Sure. If you’re not careful, you might overdo it and risk injury. Start slow and ensure you’re performing them correctly to reap the benefits. https://youtu.be/R8xNrImzdwI Sample Workout Plan for Negative Pull Ups: Warm-Up:5 minutes of light cardio and stretching.Negative Pull Ups:4 sets of 6 reps.Regular Pull Ups:3 sets of 8-10 reps.Cool Down:Stretch your arms and back. How to Incorporate Negative Pull Ups into Your Routine Ready to add them to your workout? Here’s how: - Find a Bar: Use a sturdy bar you can grip firmly. - Start at the Top: Jump or use a step to get into the top position of a pull up. - Lower Slowly: Take 3-5 seconds to lower yourself down. - Repeat: Aim for 3-4 sets of 5-8 reps. Tips for Maximizing Effectiveness: - Focus on Form: Ensure your movements are controlled. - Combine with Regular Pull Ups: Mix negative pull ups with full pull ups for balanced development. - Rest and Recover: Allow your muscles to rest, and take proper time to recover between each session.

Conclusion

Alright, let’s cut to the chase—negative pull-ups are more than just a fancy exercise. They’re a key player in building raw strength, improving your pull up game, and mastering control over your body. If you’re serious about leveling up your fitness routine, don’t sleep on these. They’re tough, they’re effective, and they’ll push you to new heights. So, get on that bar, embrace the grind, and let’s see what you’re really made of. Negative pull ups aren’t just effective; they’re a game-changer.

FAQs

How often should you do negative pull-ups?Aim for 2-3 times a week, allowing rest days in between to prevent overtraining.Can negative pull ups help with other exercises?Absolutely.

🎀Diary entry #002                                                                                                  19/08/2024

Today I decided to already make some changes to what I initially planned to do for my “level up”. The first thing is my diet and exercise routine. For my diet I want to try eating one meal a day. I decided this because I've been feeling so ‘saturated’ the past months… like i haven’t been eating healthy or sustainable at all and i can really notice the effect on my body. And yes this is also while i workout... I notice how bloated/ blown up I feel. This can be caused by water retention from too much sodium (which is usually in most junk i've been eating like instant noodles for example…). Now I could just start by eating healthy but I know from past experience that eating one meal a day or just less but healthy actually keeps me more full and energized for the day! It also helps me with digestion, it feels like that this is because my body has more time to ‘process’ before I eat again. The most important rule during this diet is that my meals are nutritious and sustainable! I’m going to try to have carbs, protein, fats and enough fiber during those meals. And if I still get hungry before or after my meal, I have decided to eat some fruit or nuts. I don’t really have a meal plan since i’m just going with what i’m craving at those days and cook something in the moment or what’s convenient… (might make a blog with recipes, most of them are pretty easy and school/ work friendly soooww 👀)  Another important rule is that I take my vitamins/minerals and other supplements every day! Because it is ofcourse hard to get your daily recommended intake through just one meal… But this is also why I'm planning to just follow for a week and not longer! Or if you want to keep doing this for longer I recommend doing at least one or two “cheat” days!  For exercise I'm going to quit the gym for a while… Instead, I'm going to consistently try to do 10k steps a day. This is because I don't want to over-exhaust my body, which can cause a lot of stress which in return will lead to weight gain or your body holding on to weight, along with some uncomfortable health situations…(been there, done that, no fun😀)  This is for me the biggest change in my plan.  Other than that there are a few posts i am thinking of doing hehe. This is my little list: easy, sustainable meals (as mentioned before) selfcare day/ recharge day (my way) make the most out of the last weeks of summer (might do this one soon) hobbies i want to pick (back) up+ a little progress diary when i start ^_^ That’s all I wanted to share for now!! Hopefully we can stay motivated together and inspire one another!!

Love, Sunny xx

Deciding to become a coach has been such a blessing. Helping someone feel good in their skin is a feeling like no other. With that being said, I HAVE to lead by example and practice what I preach.

How did you change your eating habits? Over the years, I have learned that nutrition is the absolute key to achieving and maintaining your physique goals. Without the proper balance of carbs, fats, protein, and fiber, you will spin your wheels and find yourself “starting over” every Monday. 

In the past, I would do well during the weekdays and ruin all of my progress on the weekends. It was a battle that I never won. Once I approached my nutrition in a realistic and sustainable manner, my entire life and physique changed.

What is your workout routine? My strength training routine usually consists of the following:

Monday: Lower body/glutes

Tuesday: Back and biceps.

Wednesday: Core, mobility, foam roll, stretching.

Thursday: Lower body/glutes

Friday: Shoulders, triceps, traps

Saturday: Core, mobility, foam roll, stretch

Sunday: Rest/active recovery with a light walk.

Regarding cardio, I do 25 min treadmill incline walk four times per week.

What was your starting weight? What is your current weight? My starting weight was 209 pounds. My current weight is 140 pounds.

What is your height? My height is 5’3″.

When did you start your journey? I started my journey in 2014. I noticed the most change when I gained new nutrition knowledge and executed a new plan of action in 2015. I would say it took a solid nine months to see a drastic change. But initial change can literally start in one week if you are dedicated enough and hit your macros properly.

Is weight loss surgery part of your journey? No, I did not have weight loss surgery.

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far? The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that nutrition is EVERYTHING. There is no magical way to lose fat and keep it off. It comes down to dedication and consistency. I was CONSISTENTLY blowing my diet and eating more than my body needed. While I wanted to blame my metabolism, genetics and make it everyone else’s fault, it was MY responsibility to hold myself accountable and make a change. I had it take FULL responsibility for my health and the position I had gotten myself into.

What advice would you like to share with women who want to lose weight? My biggest piece of advice would be to take responsibility and lock in on your health goals. Take it one day, one workout, one meal at a time. The moment you truly get sick and tired of being uncomfortable in your own skin is the moment you will stop playing. 

It does take time, it does take patience, and it can be VERY frustrating. I am NOT always motivated, nor do I always make healthy decisions. I love me some cookies, too, lol! But 90% of the time, I eat according to my goals. The gym is just a cherry on top. Make your time NOW! You can see the change in a matter of 7 days. You just have to want it bad enough.

Weight gain with the help of diet and exercise

Weight gain can be an incredibly daunting prospect for many people, whether it’s to build muscle mass or just to get a little healthier. Whatever the goal may be, gaining weight isn’t as simple as eating more and going to the gym a few times a week. It takes discipline, consistency, and a good understanding of nutrition and exercise science to see results. The good news is, with the right plan in place, it is entirely possible to gain weight when combined with a proper diet and consistent exercise.

For those looking to add a few extra pounds to their frame, one of the most important pieces of advice is to develop a meal plan and stick to it. Eating larger portions, munching on healthy snacks, and planning meals throughout the day that will help you reach your weight gain goals are essential components of the process. When devising a meal plan, it is important to focus on nutrient-dense products such as proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Quality protein sources such as lean meats, eggs, fish, yogurt, and legumes contain essential amino acids needed for muscle growth and development, while carbohydrate sources like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables provide the body with energy. Healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil provide calories and essential fatty acids that are needed for cell health and brain development.

In addition to implementing a solid nutritional plan, exercise plays a major role in the success of any weight-gain program. While there is no single best type of workout routine for everyone, creating an exercise program that focuses on building strength and increasing muscle mass is often beneficial for those aiming to gain weight. A great way to start out is by picking two or three compound exercises—such as squats, deadlifts, push-ups, and chin-ups—and performing them consistently. The key is to constantly challenge the body. Increasing the weight with each subsequent workout and adding additional exercises over time are effective ways to shock the muscles and help promote further growth. Moreover, making sure to get adequate rest between workouts is absolutely essential to allow the body to recover from the physical stress and make progress.

Finally, patience is key while pursuing any sort of weight gain goal. Everyone’s body is different, and it may take some time to get accustomed to a new diet and exercise routine. To maximize results, it is important to commit to the process and stay motivated to reach the desired results. Utilizing all of the tips mentioned above, combined with regular check-ins with a personal trainer and doctor, can help ensure that weight gain efforts are implemented properly and reach their full potential.
