So….

I worked out with my trainer yesterday.  It went great.  He competes in MMA and is teaching me some fighting skills (yeah man!).  I felt really strong.  I started adding NO-Xplode drinks yesterday before my workout and so far so good.  I did 30 min of am fasted cardio on the eliptical and 30 min of HIIT on the treadmill in the pm.  I havent weighed myself because my hubby hid the scale on me.  Im going to check my wt next week, as it will be 6 weeks eating clean and training right.

I ate perfect yesterday, except I only got in 1201 cal.  It was 50/30/20.  I just dont like going to bed really full. 

I slept in a little this morning, so Im probably going to be around the same for calories today.  I have class again on Monday (spring break), so Ill be up at 4:30 again and able to get in am cardio and 6 meals instead of 5.

Just got home from the beach with the family and Im gonna hit the gym in a bit.  Planning on doing back and bi’s…wish me luck

Ok, Im a dork.  I read everyones journals, but never post.  I have decided to start a blog to make myself accountable.  So here goes…

I am 28 years old, currently in nursing school, and a married mother of 2.  I used to be in great shape and did some modeling.  I was never concerned with my figure because it came easily.  I did cardio about 3 days a week and never lifted weights.  Then life happened.  I got married and had 2 children.  With my second pregnancy I was 204lbs the day of delivery.  Yikes, just saying that makes me wanna barf.  Anyway, I have gotten down do 158 and counting.  I am 5′6" and pretty good genetics as far as muscle tone goes.  I can add muscle easily, but fat too   I started dieting about 5 weeks ago and have eaten perfect every day. 

Heres my diet:

meal 1: 4 egg whites and Kashi almond/flaxseed granola bar (multi vitamin, chromium, and fish oil)

meal 2: 3/4 scoop whey protein & 1 tbsp natural pb

meal 3: 5 oz grilled chicken and sweet potato

meal 4: post workout usually - 1 scoop whey protein

meal 5: 6 oz grilled chicken, 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 c brown rice

meal 6: (if not too late) 1/2 c ff cottage cheese with 2 oz blueberries

I am forcing myself to get 5 or 6 meals in because I am used to only eating 2 meals a day.  I am doing cardio at 6 or 7 days a week.  I switch back and forth from 45min on the eliptical and 30min hiit on the treadmill with an additional 15 min uphill walk.  I love to do cardio, so this isnt a problem.  I could probably do 2 hours if I thought it would do me good.

my workouts are spiratic.  I am working with a pilates trainer 2 days a week.  He’s cool, but not what I expected.  I am doing some circuit training with him as well as kickboxing.  On the off days (2 or 3) I will train at the gym.  I dont really have a split so if anyone can suggest a good training split for 3 days, please let me know.  I love to do the bodypump classes when I can make it on time.  When I workout, I try to do 3 exercises per muscle and 3 sets each of 12-15.  Im not sure if what Im doing is right, but I am loosing weight.

Im planning on posting every day and updating my diet and workout and I would love ANY advice and tips yall have!

Thanks
