It's been awhile

Hey everyone! Sorry that it's taken me so long to post! I am sure you missed me! Things have been very busy the last few weeks with moving and getting engaged! Yah! The wedding won't be until Spring 2012 so lot's of time to plan and shape up for that!


I have switched up my workout again. Back to hitting the weights hard. The full body program only lasted 3 weeks maybe and then i got bored. I think it's very important to give your body and break and do that every once in awhile. Just to keep your body guessing. Plus you get the added cardio bonus with full body programs.


Since i last posted i have started a supplement called CLA. And wow i think i am seeing results already. I think i have been on it for 2 weeks already...ish! Lately i have been feeling very fit and in shape and i think the CLA paired with the supplements i already take, my eating habits and my work outs have made a great combination.


CLA stands for Conjugated linoleic acid....whoa thats a mouthful! CLA is a natural supplement that is found mostly in dairy and meat. According to www.bodybuilding.com it is a mixture of different types of isomers of linoleic acid. Again science is not my fortay so that is over my head too!


CLA not only speeds up your metabolism but it also totes cancer fighting benefits. It's like a super supplement, an anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogen, anti-catabolite and immune system enhancer. 


It is said to decrease body fat in its users and body fat that predominatley resides in the abs, bonus if you ask me. It also stimulates lean muscle growth all in the same breath. Other benefits include; lowers cholesterol and trigylcerides, lowers insulin resistance and reduces food-induced allergic reactions.


If only i had discovered this a lot sooner i would have started taking it at an early age. However if you aren't interested in taking a supplement like this there are natural places you can find it. You can get it from consuming lamb, homogenized cow's milk, butter, cottage cheese (no wonder it's a health super-food), fresh ground beef, sharp cheddar cheese, chicken and pork. However bodybuilding.com presses that only organic meats and dairies will have CLA. The animals need to eat food naturally and can't be force fed processed crap which is often the case these days, although it is getting better.
