BGB Challenge….BRING IT!
This one is right up my alley! Genetically, I’ve been jacked from birth with a tiny lil bootie…then after three kids, the tiny little bootie was….well, not even such a nice tiny one. I’ve been working for two years with weights trying to build-a-bootie with slow, I mean slllllllooooooowwwwww progress until about a year ago when Carmel Ken (that’s what I like to call my trainer and friend) told me to EAT SOME FOOD GIRL! He is mixed Indian, black and white (amazing muscle structure - he has great genetics!) and we always tease about me getting a great rock hard bootie like his! Anyhow, he is the one that started asking what I’m eating and started telling me about loading up on protein, etc. to give my muscles something to work with. I’ve been researching and eating to build muscle for about 9 months now properly and it is really starting to work! My flat bootie has gotten some roundness and most of my "thass" is gone but I want this challenge to get me out of the plateau I’ve been on for the last couple months and truly land me where I want to be!
For my eating challenge rules:
1) I will eat 115 grams of protein a day to keep with building muscle like I should be.
2) I will prepare my post workout meals over the weekend and have them ready to consume within 30 minutes after weight training.
3) I will eat clean all week - no desserts!
4) I will have wine no more than two nights per week. (might not sound like I’m trying here….but trust me it won’t be a walk in the park!)
This will really be challenging but I’m a schedule-a-holic so I know…I’m just certain once I really get this down a week or two I can do it! 
For my BGB Challenge…..
I will post pics this weekend and try to show what I’m about to explain. I will work to have ZERO THASS! I want some more height to my roundness. Whatever the freak those bumps are right below the hips on the outer legs….I will be saying arrivederci to those as well! I will also be working to have a little more pump in my hamstrings.
I will do this by working legs and glutes hard every fourth day. I’ve been steady with the cardio for two days a week now. I think I need to bump this up to three days a week and make sure at least two are on some form of incline such as running bleachers, incline sprints, etc.
My measurement technique will be visual. I’m going to take pics….hopefully they won’t be awful and I can post them….and then we can see by watching my bootie rise, thass be gone, my hams get that little muscle bump and whatever the flip those things are below my hips at the top of my outer leg disappear!
GAME ON!!!!

Nobody takes my red wine away. It is my sanity! That being said, I know you are going to kick butt in this challenge. I like how you are preparing post workout meals ahead of time. What do you eat?

When my work day ended, the first thing I thought was ‘A beer really sounds good!’ Then…I remembered! So now, its Diet Pepsi. Not the same thing!
So if you guys are meeting in a dark alley, then count me in!!!

THASS??? Haha! You’ve written some kick-a** rules for yourself, girl!
July 27, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Thass is AWESOME… I’m so pawning that and using it as my own!!!
Great goals (definitely a wine lover as well, best of luck with that!), and yes - uphill sprints, lunges with db’s, and uphill biking are AWESOME for the boot-ay!! Best of luck, chickie, I’ll be cheering you on!!

I had a good thass once… (dreaming of the days)
All the best dear. How do you plan on loading up your protein? That’s my downfall too.
