So from what I can see I haven’t lost any weight this week. I’ve been eating about 98-95% clean…so pretty good…I’ve read a lot about stopping your carbs after 1 pm or so….I think I actually need to try this because the smaller I get the harder it seems to lose the fat. I’m gonna be upping my cardio a lot in the next month in order to shed this last 10 pounds. At that point I should be 18 % BF and would like to focus on some mega gains. I’m getting restless about constantly changing my workout and diet, so that I can lose the fat. I really think HIIT helps out a lot…and I try to do 2-3 session..but can only get up to 10-15 min of HIIT. What a sissy!!! I’m pushing….hopefully I will work up to 20 min here soon.

Workouts have been great…just started on Xtend watermelon oooooh! Pre and during my workouts. I’ve been back on the 5×5 and lifting heavy…for me that is. Gonna post pictures here soon of the past 8 weeks progress….Happy Easter and Spring ya all!

Oh my! Period and sodium = MAJOR BLOAT! I totally bloated up these last few days from eating some salsa and chips and El Torrito. Felt soooo sick…I cheated a few times this weekend…ugh…usually im strict strict on my diet right now because I just want to get over these last 10 pounds already! I’ve come soo far already and just want to lose this last bit’s of fatty fat! Anyhow, some good ole Dandillion Root and a lot of water is helping flush my system. I’m actually considering doing a detox, I haven’t done one since before I was pregnant.

My low calorie diet has been working great for the past 3 weeks but this past week I noticed I stopped losing weight as fasted. It’s time to change that diet again. I have to constantly change my workouts and diet to keep my body changing. Kinda seems like a pain to figure out what will work each time. I’m also back on the 5×5 program. I got the BEST Leg and butt work out this week. I had the DOMS sooo bad! It was a good feeling to get sore like that, it’s been a while since I was THAT sore. It just made it hard to do cardio the next 2 days after. I also need to remember to add HIIT in because I can tell my body makes MORE changes with it….sometimes with my 6 month old it’s sooo hard to have the energy to do HIIT. (he still gives us 2 am morning calls!) Steady State cardio seems so much easier. ugh! But no excuses.
I went to the OB this week and she weighed me in at 128. I was totally shocked. The last visit I had with her when I was 10 weeks post partum (2 1/2 months) I was 150 lbs….so I’ve done pretty good. My body is totally not the bomb, I know that…but I am sooo glade to get that fat off of me! I also got my BMI checked at the gym and I was at 20.1 %….somehow im not sure about that though…I kinda think I might be at 22 or 23….or maybe I have gained a bit of more muscle then I thought. My hubby tells me I have a harder butt…maybe it’s all in there! haha j/k!

Aight! So im checking in for week 3 and 4 at the same time…

Start weight of 8 week challenge: 137

End weight by week4: 133

Im staying on the same routine as I last posted in week 1 and 2 but im adding more running in. Sucks though my left knee so hurts from running between 5.5 and 6.5 for 30 min. I think ill cut down on the running time to 10-15 min max. Gotta save those knees. As far as lifting goes, I dont feel like im getting as sore lately and I am lifting heavier…so im thinking about supplementing with SciVation on Xtend or Universal Animal pump for the next few weeks.

Things are going well though…eating 95% clean…whoops…workouts consistent.

   Hmmm which one?
