FitnessPeanut’s Transformation Blog

I realized today how much motivation and dedication I have when I stay current on Bodyspace. Blogging, checking out the forums and talking with other members really helps to keep me on track. A healthy body doesn’t come from training and cleaning eating alone, it starts with training the mind. That is where my downfall has been since I first realized I was "overweight" back when I was a kid. It was only until last year when I broke through the 160-170 weight range that I have maintained since I was in high school. My wedding day was a big help to do that and even though I still had weight to lose, weighing in at 135 that morning was such an achievement. I swore I wouldn’t gain it back and month after month, I watched the scale go up. Honestly, I didn’t really try to do anything about it either. Now here I am 20lbs heavier and starting over. But I want to look at it in a different light. Not as if I am starting a "diet" or starting to "lose weight" again. I want to see it as "Time to start eating clean and training because I love it and because I want to be happy and love myself".

So, I bought a mini camcorder and I am going to try some video blogging along with my forum posts and bodyblogs. My ultimate goal would be to compete in my first competition and I am hoping that will be next year. For the remainder of this year, I am going to focus on getting my weight down around 125 and then evaluate from there. I have tweaked my eating plan a bit. I don’t need to be competition strict right now as my body will respond to just eating clean.  Especially since I will be cutting out some bread and the not so good for me carbs Mmmmm…except the occasional bagel…I love bagels!

This is what it will look like for the next few weeks.

Meal One (pre-workout) - 1/2 scoop whey w/ 4 oz skim milk

Meal Two - 1/4 cup oats, 1/2 scoop whey, 5 egg whites

Meal Three - Md. Apple, 6oz low fat yogut

Meal Four - 4 oz chicken, 1 cup brown rice, low sodium V-8

Meal Five - 5 egg whites, 1 oz almonds

Meal Six - 4 oz chicken, 2 cups salad, 1TBSP olive oil, 1 TBSP balsamic

Meal Seven - 1 scoop whey w/ water

I just got my new order of supps from bb.com:

My usual order and my favorite protein: 4Ever Fit Mango Whey (SOOOO good!!) & another order of Lean Dreams.

I also got a few things that I haven’t tried before: BSN Lean Dessert - two jugs - Cinnamon Roll & Banana Nut Bread. I also got SciVation Watermelon Xtend.
