Show me the FOOOD!!!

So, I've decided to do something.   After years of off and on weight training, doing just enough to keep from losing muscle mass I've decided to do something about it.  I'm in my late 40s.  At my age, I'm starting to lose muscle.  Now, I don't know about you, but I like muscle.  That's what will keep me getting up off the toilet by myself when I'm 90.  That's what burns a lot of calories that I like to eat.  That's what give arms that nice shape, and will eventually make my butt look great.     And I don't want to lose this muscle.  

So, here's what I'm going to do.  I'm going on a bulk.  Ok, I can hear you now.  What the "F" is a bulk?   Its where you eat above your calories that you need to maintain your body weight.   And you lift a lot of heavy weights.   You put on muscle cause with the extra calories, and lifting heavy weights, a lot of heavy weights, you build muscle.  Ok so I'll probably put on a little fat a long with the muscle.  That's just one of the side effects.

I'm going to go slow.  Not go over by much, and try to keep my foods as healthy as I can.   That will help keep the level of fat that I gain as low as possible,

Then after a few months, you cut back on calories, and start burning off the fat.  And it might be a little easier cause with the extra muscle, you have more fat burning capacity.    Or that's what I'm hoping lol.    Build some muscle and it will help burn off the fat without having to do a major cut of calories. 

I've been getting some makeup and stuff.  Of course I have lol.  Ordered some stuff from Sephora during the Rouge sale.  And tomorrow I'm planning on going to Sephora and picking up the Huda palette.  I hope it is there.   I'd love to get a Natasha Denona palette but WOW.  They are expensive.  Maybe for my birthday.   I think that's a great birthday present to myself.

Hitting Des Moines tomorrow. Have a follow up with the dietician I saw.  I'm going to have her help me with my calorie goals for my bulk.  Then I'm going to see if I can find a bra, cause mine are getting old, and then Costco time.   If I'm going to be eating a little more food, I need to stock up some.  And we also need pet food and stuff. 

I hope all is great with you.
