An old man pulled me aside and told me that every time you attempt to do something your chances of success increase with every attempt. It is something that has always stuck with me. Later in life I learned about neural pathways etc. and the old man was right. Now every time I have a goal I know that as long as I keep getting back on the horse I WILL succeed. You will become the skinny bitch as long as you keep being a cast iron bitch about it. (if you don't mind me being frank) Some things I noticed. Try not to eat anything for at least an hour after you run. Drink as much water as you want, but stay away from the foods. If you just CANNOT stand it eat eggs with salt and pepper. Black coffee or strait tea is ok too, but nothing else. If you eat anything you are loosing all the benefits of the run. (unless your running for at least 45 mins to an hour) It takes at least 30 mins of running to burn the glycogen out of your bloodstream, which has to happen before your body will even touch the fat. Maybe running in the morning is not for you. I like running in the evenings. If you really wanna get the most out of your run get a quick shower after your evening run, swig some water, and go too sleep. Your body will burn fat all night long. Because there is nothing else to run on. Easy muscle gain could be your ace in the hole. Massive exertion of muscle requires ALOT of calories to maintain. Basic Physics though, It is gonna require X amount of energy to move Y amount of weight. If you increase Y then the amount of X also has to increase (assuming all the other variables remain the same) If you don't wanna get bulky then focus on muscles that people are gonna notice less or muscles that are definatly sexy when they are developed. Abs, legs, and Shoulders are a few of my personal favs on a woman. One thing to keep in mind is that women have 1/26th the amount of testosterone as men. Which means you are not gonna get bulky like men. This is why IFBB women bodybuilders use steroids. The notion of women doing high repatitions with low weight because they don't wanna look like men is false. Your muscles will get bigger but never masculine. Ok I way over time. I gotta get going. Hope this is helpful,and not critical. When I was 18 I decided to quit smoking.
