I head to Vegas tomorrow for 4 days, 3 nights of non-stop chaos with my girls! I haven’t been posting lately because I’ve started writing my daily meal plans and workouts in a journal that I take everywhere. I’ve been eating so well the past couple of weeks and I’m really noticing a difference in my workouts and in the mirror. I’m up to 2 protein shakes a day (first thing in the morning and my last meal at night). I also noticed that mixing protein powder with soy milk keeps you full longer versus water. I have pretty much killed all my cravings which is amazing. I still indulge in a piece of chocolate and a glass of wine every once in a while, but I’m eating more veggies and less fruit/complex carbs. Go me! And as much as I hate to run, I’ve been running for 30 minutes everyday on the treadmill!

 I hate to fall off track while on vacation, but I think I deserve a little time off from my strict regimine. I’ll still do cardio (shake my booty at the clubs) and drink my protein shakes (along with a few shots of vodka). See you in a few days! Stay tuned for pics…

 I’ve gained 13 lbs since graduation. Hopefully, most of it has been muscle since I can’t tell much of a difference from photos. My clothes are a bit tighter, but I feel more dense, not jiggly. The reason for my weight gain is from a better diet (more protein) and supplementation. I need to stop hiding from the calpers and just suck it up and get my body fat checked.

Good morning! I’m changing up my workouts for the next week and a half to get ready for Vegas. I will be doing 45-60 minutes of cardio everyday (2x on the weekend) + heavy lifting (2 muscle groups everyday) and decreasing my carb intake. I will also be limiting my fruit intake to 1 piece/day right before my workouts. For extra energy, I will be relying on energy drinks and stacks. Plus, I will continue to take my Animal Paks and Kre-Alkalyn.

Skipped workouts last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Felt like crap but got back on track Monday and Tuesday. My arms are really sore today and for some reason my body is exhausted. Tonight is just a cardio night (thank goodness). I just ran out of my Isopure and until my shipment comes in on Friday, I have to steal my roommate’s Muscle Milk. That stuff actually tastes pretty good.
