Drinking My Muscles Away

I read Men's Fitness article called Living a Double Life the article was talking about drinking alcohol, and does it cause your muscles progress to decline. Like the guy in the article most of my friends are into the bar scene and most of them drink liquor or beer.  Most people old enough to drink alcoholic beverages don't see any harm from drinking, and just feel they can continue to work off those calories. Check out the calorie count for some of your favorite beverages and try to choose better. Did you know that most alcohol have 7 calories per gram?  Here are 5 popular alcoholic drinks that everyone love!  To keep that body tight, so you can stay right choose wisely.

(standard cocktail size)

Shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey= 72 calories

12 oz Corona Beer= 148 calories

Vodka & Red Bull= 240 calories

Glass of Pinot Gringo= 156 calories

This article isn't trying to say, "stop drinking all the way", but it's trying to persuade you too think about what you're drinking. I give it 3 snaps and a drunk man "I'm not drunk". As social individuals we cannot just stop, but we can slow our consumption . Which is a great ideal.  When you are drinking your body can't metabolize alcohol & burn fat, so until the booze is gone your body is not running like a well oil machine. Yes, that means pizza, hot wings, or my one time favorite pancakes are off limits.  When you eat a large amount of these things your stomach is drunk, so I cannot tell you it's full and it's in pain of stretching.  The best line of defense for drinking is limiting your calorie intake. The day after drinking like its Spring Break is to get Beta alumina will help stimulate your blood flow.  Also take some amino acids, or BCAAs, which all these thing will help flush the liquid poison out.  Read the article and tell me what you think.

Because you are reading my articles here are some drinks that are good for you & will F-you up!!! Cheers!!!

2015 BYE BYE & HELLO 2016

Ok people......


I have been slacking on putting my #HEALTHONTOP for the last 2 months.  I know most of my friends  and family are saying get out of here I don't see it.  I've been controlling my health for years and I know when my body is changing. I've been saying it's winter time I'm trying to #Gainz.....Yes with a Z.  That means using healthy food to put on lean muscles, but that ain't happening in "Mr. Lewis Neighborhood".


I've always had a certain feeling when people would tell me, "I'm a emotional eater and I can't work out".  I couldn't understand that in the past, because I can say this today I was never stressed out back than, but now work stress and life stress can really change your mindset.


Who is this guy I keep saying to myself because usually I'm in control because I'm always "GIRGIT Corey"


In 2016 I'm going to get back on track.  I've stated to myself that I'm going to stop drinking for 2 months (help me lord).  I really want to cleanse myself and get back in front of that camera and try to get some modeling jobs.  I've moved away from this career and feel this contributed to my nonchalant fitness attitude.  So come join me on here to see the changes I'm going to do by summer 2016 and push me along.  I may not be the best writer but I'm going to document this journey help me stay on top.  Get ready for cooking, fitness tips, and pictures galore.


Thanks

Thanksgiving Gainz vs. Gains

People look at me and think that boy don't eat!!! Well the devil is a lie!!! This past thanksgiving my family had enough food to feed Mose and all his people crossing the Red Sea! Now usually I'm good about saying no I'm good and watching everyone else eat but not this year instead of watching I'm going to eat.   I made a plan I would do a crossfit class at my crossfit gym (9:00am) then cook and enjoy thanksgiving.  I want everyone to know that if you eat it us it!  I ate bad so I have to work that food off! Is it going to be that same day? No you're going to have to train to make in GAINZ instead of GAINS. Which are two different things 

GAINZ- food to improve your body muscles 

GAINS -food you sit around and increase your waist size!!
