Cristin’s BodyBlog

I have ordered a copy of Body for Life, a set of calipers to measure body fat & also the myotape.  I have been hearing wonderful things about BFL.  Can’t wait to get the book and see what’s in it.  Thanks Capt. Ahab for pointing me towards it! =)  Maybe this program will break me thru the plateau I seem to be stuck in right now. 

Otherwise, the scale is still bouncing up & down within a half pound everyday.  Time to change things up and try a new approach for a little bit.  I did a lot of lifting around here yesterday just doing work on the farm… including a 3 sided box that was made out of green 2X8’s and was 24 FEET long.  Had to lift & carry that at my chin level.  Can’t tell you what it weighed, but that thing was HEAVY!  So I know I got a decent weight lifting session in.  Granted much less stylish than being at a gym using fancy equipment, but effective anyway lmao.  Hope everyone has a great week! =) 

Thanks again to everyone who gave me input!

I’ve spent most of the week trying to tweak my diet.  I’ve gotten a lot of great advice & this is what I put together.  I’d REALLY appreciate it if you all would take another look & tell what you think as I’d like to start it tomorrow.  Keep in mind I’m trying to lose a bunch of weight & gain muscle.  This should round out at about 1200-1400 calories depending on how much whey I drink & what type of lean meat I choose.  THANK YOU! =)
