Belles’s BodyBlog

Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA lately….work has kicked into gear with the election date nearing so please forgive me for my late response to everyone’s blogs.  I’m certainly thinking of all of you and still working towards my goals!

Onto my goals…..in the beginning of this challenge I expressed a desire to get rid of my "thass", pump up my hamstrings and shave off those bumps at the top of my thighs (bumps that trainer Carmel Ken has later explained to me are called "saddle bags"! OMG!).  And gain some overall bootie because I wasn’t blessed with much on the backside!  So I am still working toward these goals and things are looking better.  I have designated one day a week to a hardcore glute workout and one day a week to an over all killer legs day, as well as I’ve increased my cardio.  I certainly wish I would have posted pics four weeks ago when this started so I could see my progress but I’m posting them today and I’ve added some annotations to help explain my goals.  My tan is lacking right now so I’ve got one in black and white and one in color…..makes no sense I know.

This week has been a flat-liner for me!  Tuesday was primary day……rodeo started Wednesday through last night and Saturday was our huge event we have been planning for months.  So basically….this week was late nights, early mornings and a lot of head stress but I just woke up from my Sunday siesta and I’m feeling like my lil body is bouncing back! 

I have been eating clean and on a 14 day detox program so my body is looking good.  The majority of my bloating from up-ing my protein is now gone so…….I’ve basically lost a week of building muscle but all else is good! I’ve ordered a hemp protein powder that doesn’t have lactose and I pick that up tomorrow at the health food store.  I’m working on my post workout meals for the week now so I’m ready for a great week!  JJfit was brave enough to post some bootie pics soooooooo….surely I can be too!  I’ll have my bff help me out tomorrow and we will get them taken and posted.  I’ll post my program for this week tomorrow as well.

Congrats to all the ones still on the eating challenge!  I’m so very proud of your endurance!

Everyone has been so kind in responding to me being out of the eating challenge!  I so very much appreciate all of you that have said its not about downing 115 grams of protein a day…its about eating clean so stay in!  Had I of only had that positive thought process………but no…..I called my bff (Malibu)……we had an emergency meeting of the brains over a glass of wine to ponder my mystical bloated state of being.  As we sat perplexed….I mean….I’ve been eating clean for almost a year….all I did was up my protein intake so what the flip?  Anyhow, as we sat perplexed…Belles here decided the only thing to do was to order dessert to go with the cabernet! lol!  So, thank you all very much but I most definitely broke my second rule!!!
