Throwing Up at the Jym

I am starting Jim Stoppani's Six Weeks to Shred fat burning program today. Kind of terrified - it's pretty legit. However, after a lot of searching and planning, I felt like this was a good fit for me. I had considered just doing my own thing, instead of starting another program, but I think I need one big push before I get to that point. Jamie Eason's program got me going and motivated, but I know I could've seen more improvement. I didn't really follow her diet plan, I just made an attempt at eating better. I cheated a lot. Like... a lot. I'm going to do my best to follow Jim's guidelines and actually attempt the macros. All workouts aside, I feel like if I actually stick to an eating plan I'd see pretty remarkable results because my body wouldn't know what to do with itself. It'll start wondering where all the ice cream and french fries have gone and hopefully start devouring the fat around my tummy out of spite.

I went ahead and bought the "Pre-Jym" mix that costs an arm and a leg, but only has 20 servings worth. Boo. I was totally a sucker for advertising; the more Jim talked about the science behind his products, the more convinced I became that you'd be an absolute fool not to buy them. Let's face it, talk nerdy to me and I melt. I probably should've checked out some of the studies he cited and looked for empirical data that backs his claims, but that advertising was too dang good.

By buying this expensive product with zero dollars to my name, I will be trying creatine out for the first time. Man, s*** just got real. I know creatine isn't like a steriod or anything, and it can actually be used to treat depression and all sorts of medical issues, but it kind of feels like I'm going to be popping roids now.  If I start looking like she-man in a few weeks, anyone who reads this blog will know why.

However, I may not have the opportunity to make it that far. After looking over some of the comments on the Day 1 work out page, I've come to the conclusion that this program is going to kill me. Several people talked about nausea and one dude even threw up at the gym! He actually had to run out of the weight room and get sick into the sink because he couldn't make it to the stalls. This is my future ladies and gentlemen, in T minus 1 hour.

So blogging world, if I kick the bucket today here are my final words: it will be a pleasure to know I was killed in the pursuit of a good chest, tris and abs.

Here we go. Day 1.


***UPDATE***
There actually were a few moments I felt queasy. I was doing pretty well till I hit the dips and my first rep started to bring up that expensive PreJym supp. Overall though, it's a great program and I'm really happy I'm doing it. I mean, the amount of sweat on my body puts Niagra Falls to shame, but that's attractive right?
