This morning when I got up at 0530 I decided to weigh myself since, according to what I saw in the mirror, I looked smaller.  The scale read 121!!!! I didn’t trust my little walmart scale so when at the gym I used the scale there too, and it read the same, 121lbs.  I just got back from pass in Qatar and I ate whatever I wanted and had wine every night I was over there.  So, it makes no sense that I loss weight.

I stopped taking the NO explode a week ago, so I wonder if it might be that.  I remained active while on pass but not as active as I am here.  I also lost .5" from my waist and 1" from my hips.

My goal weight is 115lbs, so if this 121lbs weight is accurate, I only have 6 more pounds to loose!

So, I just got in today from my pass.  I haven’t gotten any sleep in the last 30 hours, but that is the way it works here.  I only worked out Saturday…so that is almost a week off.  However, tomorrow I am back with a vengeance.  I have 2 important dates I want to look wonderful for.  First, I might go on a trip in November and I want to look as toned as possible.  Second, I am going on another trip to Puerto Rico in December for a class reunion and you all know how that is.  I hate to say I didn’t eat good while I was on pass, but at least I didn’t eat crazy big amounts of food, just junk food.  You all know how it is when you go on vacation.  Today I started eating small, clean meals again…and tomorrow is legs day at the gym.

Wish me luck!

So, even though I do sprints, today I started the 30 second HIT program (30 second jog, 30 second all out).  I did that for about 20 minutes.  Tomorrow I will take a break and again on Saturday.  I want to do that for about a month to see if I can break my plateau.  Wish me luck.  I need to get that hot bod before October!

I thought about my problem with leg definition.  I think the main issue is that I try to do a super workout that includes running and lifting altogether.  Its very hard for me to give 100% in my run and quickly turn around and give 100% lifting weights for my legs.  So today I got up at 0530 and did 30 minutes of low impact cardio.  I will go to the gym in the afternoon as well and I will run 1.5 miles (about 11-12 minutes) and then I will focus on lifting hard for my legs.  I am going to try to keep this routine for the rest of the month.  I will keep the results posted.  Wish me luck!

If you took a look at my new pictures you can see I have no leg definition whatsoever…I am so sick of it! I am doing 30-40 minutes of cardio 6 days a week, plus I ride my bike 20 minutes each day to and from work and I do legs once a week.  I am going to introduce an extra day of legs a week to see if I can see any changes.  Wish me luck.  Off to the gym now…

Hello all, so I am doing everything I am supposed to be doing, working out 6 days a week, eating quite healthy and sleeping enough, but I still need a good fatburner to go pass this plateau I am in right now.  Please HELP!  I have tried (in the last 3 months) Thermogenics from EAS and SLimquick with no results at all.  I have 3 more months to go back home and I want to be in the best shape of my life, plus I have a trip planned to Las Vegas (and I don’t want to have to wait in line to go to the club ) and one to Puerto Rico and small bikinis are a must for those two trips. So, I need to trim my legs and belly ASAP.

Please help!

Gracias

Ok, so here are my excuses.  I am in Baghdad, I am very anxious, I am quite stressed, and I was not able to workout yesterday.

So today I decided to make up for it, I have been eating good and counting my calories. I am not sure if it is a combination of the stress and the time of the month but I just went crazy about it last night

I need to get it right again. I am going to the gym to do circuit training like a mad woman.

Since I am in the dessert, I dont have a lot of civilian clothes. This morning I decided to try on my only pair of jeans here, which used to be tight when I got here, and they are loose now!  I can’t be happier!  I haven’t seen any more changes in the scale, so I am going to use those jeans as measurement.  They are size 7 from american eagle, so I am thinking I could be a 5 right now…Great!!!! I want to be a 3 though lol.

I am just starting the week 5 of my abs diet. I think once I am done with the whole ordeal, I will continue eating the same way, and keep my one cheat meal a week, until I either look the way I want, or weigh as much as I want to. It has been hard, but at least people in the office are quite supportive. Looking forward the bikini body!!!
