Burning The Christmas New Years Fat

Well finally we’re all clearing the Christmas/New Years period (not to mention my family’s annoying birthdays on the 28th & 3rd!), and as usual my partner is saying she’s put on at least a few kilos. Me on the other hand… I’ve dropped weight, because I’m not at the gym. Ah, the curse of the fast metabolism.

I see see the conversation going on in your head right now, “oh poor you, you have to work out to keep weight on, I wish I had that problem.” Well, its a problem none the less, and these days guys have plenty of pressure on them to be buff & strong… and besides… *I* like being buff & strong! The problem is…

I’m just lazy!

And my body knows it. Its telling my muscle cells, “Yo! We don’t need to maintain all this mass any more, the guy’s not using it anymore!” And I lose weight… but gain a tiny bit around my waist.

What am I going to do about it? I said in my Colorado Experiment post I’d read about a guy called Tom Venuto, so I’ve gone and got a copy of his ebook, and I’m putting his eating practices to the test, while sticking as closely to Colorado style rep schemes as I can.

I’ll see what Tom says to do anyway. I’ll also be dragging my other half along, but to be frank with you, there’ll be no before & after shots – we’re just a little too shy for that.

So stay tuned & I’ll let you know what I think of the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle book, and then I’ll see what results we get from it, month by month.
