Several bb members have mentioned cellucor products for amazing results.  I am quite tempted to try them, but I still have lots of hydroxycut and ripped tabs left.  I really would like to take a break of these energy pills for about a week sometime soon thoug and then start the cellucor.

People in the office think I am on steroids.  Does anyone have any reviews for the fat loss cellucor stack?  Cause if it is as good as they claim and I lose more weight, I will get more HATE from the co-workers…

Last night, after my workout I decided to check out my arms and I got scared.  Where did this big guns come from?  I even asked my roommate if I looked manly cause my arms are HUGE.  Not sure when it happened…I haven’t done arms in a week, and last night was shoulders night.  I am doing arms today! 

It might be the NO explode, but I just started taking it 2 days ago, along with cellmass…

I am very happy with all my accomplishments for the last month.  So far, I have gone down to 135lbs, I am running a mile in about 7:30, and I have been working out almost every day.  My resting heart rate is 47 bpm!  I have been eating quite clean with one cheat meal a week.  I have been drinking lots of water to the point I have to go to the restroom every hour and I have added an extra light cardio session in the am. I lost 2" from my waist!

My goal for February is to get to 130 lbs and to fit in my goal jeans and loose one inch from my waist and my thighs.  Got to get the bikini body before the summer comes to Iraq; that’s sooner than what everyone thinks.

I still have 11 more months to go in Iraq, so I should get to 115lbs-120lbs and be quite toned.  

Today I took the day off from the weight room and did 30 minutes on the stairclimber, 15 on the rowing machine and 20 on the ellyptical.  I think my body needed a break from lifting.  Tonight I will be teaching salsa for about 2 hours…so more cardio for me!

The plan is to do push ups/lower body exercises for cross fit tomorrow.  I will probably throw up.  Nice…

Every week I am noticing more and more changes.  I can feel my body getting toned!  My progress pictures might not be showing it, but I am getting better and better.  My heart rate is lower and its getting harder to make it go up.  My pants are fitting much better, even though my "goal jeans" size 28 from Bebe skinny jeans don’t fit yet.  This morning my roommate (who sees me every day) told me I looked thinner!  Yes, made me very happy.

I am not sure if the extra cardio session in the morning with an empty stomach is the responsible one for my progress or maybe my adherence to a stricter diet with one cheat meal a week (can’t wait for my twinkies to get here!).  Or maybe its the 2 salsa sessions a week I am doing.

I have been weighing myself but it seems all the scales in the green zone are 200 years old and they are not calibrated.  So I ordered my own.  I have a tape measure though, and I have lost about 2 inches from my waist since I got here.

Working out and helping others to workout makes me VERY happy.  I have been thinking about doing it seriously and becoming a personal trainer.

I can’t wait to see the results of 11 more months of this kind of training

I have been taken hydroxycut and ripped tabs for about a month now.  So I decided to take a break from them.  Starting today until the 1st of February.

However, I am going to do one day of Crossfit and one day of aerobic only a week with 5 days of lifting.

I just started my new routine yesterday.  The plan is to do legs twice a week, Chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders/delts.  I will do 25-30 minutes of cardio in the AM, lift around 1600 and do about 30 minutes of cardio afterwards.  I am planning on doing this for a month.  I will also do crossfit once a week, and salsa dancing for about 2 hours on my rest day.

I tried cross fit for the first time today.  I ran half a mile at 8mph, did 50 hyperextensions, 25 push ups, 50 sit-ups.  All that times 4.  Pretty good workout.  After that I did the rowing machine for 10 minutes and I stretch.  Tonight I will go salsa dancing for about 3 hours!! Quite the workout.I think I might do that work out once a week, for a change, to break out from the plateu.  

Tomorrow I will start my new 5 day split, with 2 of those days being legs. I might do cardio in the AM and lifting in the afternoon with a bit more of cardio.  

Here comes the major weight loss!

Today I decided to do cardio only.  I ran 3 miles @ 6mph and then I walked with incline @ 4mph for a total of 60 minutes.  It felt good and I am sure I am going to sleep really good tonight.  I lost a pound!!! Yay!!!

 Tomorrow, the plan is to do crossfit for about 45 minutes and I will teach salsa lessons in the evening.  I am doing the same on Saturday and on Sunday I will begin my new 6 split workout.

I know eventually I will need a day off…

I want to try cross body for a change.  On Fridays, I will try it for 4 rounds, 1/2 mile run, 50 hyperextensions, 25 push ups, 25 sit ups.  I believe this will help me loose more fat.  I am quite muscular since I havent stopped lifting ever, but I have a LOT of fat on me.  Hopefully I will start seeing results soon.
