I trained my back and a small amount of chest today. I don’t like to work chest but I did go ahead and lift but with very light weight. I also did some squats (not in the plan). I try to do something for my butt at least every other day. I’m really focused on keeping my butt firm! Anyway, I will do measurements, weight, and pics weekly for anyone who wants to follow along. My nutrition plan is going to suck. No carbs. I only get carbs from my two servings of fruit and my veggies throughout the day. It will take me probably about a week to adjust. I always get a headache when I cut out my complex carbs but I will do anything to lean out! I pretty much pigged out this weekend. I wanted to get my last taste of ice cream. LOL Twelve weeks of sticking to this will hopefully get me to where I want to be!!

UGH! I’m just a little cranky today. I just wish that I didn’t have periods anymore! I get so wiped out, don’t feel like going to the gym, and not to mention the 3-5 pounds of water weight that I put on. I swear to God– I bloat up like the Pillsbury Doughboy! I don’t know if it’s my age or the fact that I’ve had three kids but my cycles have gotten longer and heavier…I HATE IT!! Oh and did I mention that I practically live on sweets when I get my period? I feel like I step forward and then take two steps back when I start my cycle. Ok…sorry. Too much information I’m sure but I just had to rant! I’m sure I’ll feel better by Wednesday or so… at least I hope. I have two full day orientations to attend for Nursing school!

I feel like I’m not making much change lately. I know these things take time so I am going to be patient. I saw this girl at the gym that has the most amazing body….when I say amazing… I mean AMAZING! I asked one of the guys that works there how long it took her to get like that and he said 9 months of hardcore training. She does weight training 5 days a week and cardio twice a day 6 days a week! UGH….. that is alot of time at the gym. I haven’t had any personal trainers or nutritionists so I can only imagine what changes I could have made if I had help at the gym! Anyway, that is my rant for the day!

Finally back into the swing of things and feeling stonger than ever! I’m eating great, doing lots of cardio, and lifting heavier than I ever have before. I love this high that I am on. I notice myself walking around with my head held a little higher. I still remember walking into the gym and not really knowing what I was doing. I watched everyone else and just tried to figure things out. I wouldn’t even walk over into the free weight area because there were so many guys over there and I was just not confident enough. Boy how things have changed! I did tons of research, got fantastic advice on this site, and even started talking to some people at the gym. I now go over in the free weight area and lift with the best of them! It feels really great! I actually had someone come over and ask me for help! Now THAT felt good! Anyway, that’s all for now!

I do NOT recommend going on vacation and eating like crap! When I got back I felt like crap and it was tough getting back into my routine. I had to work twice as hard to get back what I had the week prior! I am now back on my game and ready to make some serious changes. I am lifting heavy and have turned up the heat on my cardio. No more messing around. I made a huge change when I first started this whole transformation in just two months. I want to make another transformation now. I am looking to really build some nice lean muscle and seriously lean out….. but not too much. I don’t want to look "thin."

Since I started my transformation. I am very happy thus far. Now for some goals…. I hope to drop 2% bodyfat within the next two months. I want to build my legs a little more and show some serious cuts in my arms, back, and abs! I know I can do this!!

I had my bodyfat tested again today. I didn’t make much of a change but I guess any change is good. I really thought that I might have a much bigger change so I am a little down about that. Oh well… I guess I have to suck it up and train harder. I am hoping that the extra cardio that I started this week will help push me in the right direction!

Does anyone else experience any problems with p.m’s? I have a lot of legitimate messages asking for advice and so on but then I get messages that are kind of annoying. Some guys are trying to be "cute" with their p.m’s. They are complimenting me but go a little over the top. I have had one too many and I know for a fact that my husband would NOT be happy if he read some of the messages that I have received! I try to be nice and tell whoever sent it to please stop and some I ignore completely. I really don’t want to be rude but I am not here to be "picked up."  I am here to learn from others and maybe inspire someone… I don’t need to know how "ripe" my butt looks or how much someone would like to "do" me!! Come on guys!! Please…enough is enough. I am not trying to be a bitch. I am just trying to get in shape!!

Either I am measuring wrong or I am losing my mind. How is it that I can lose 1/2 and inch in my waist in 3-4 days? That is just not possible or at least I thought. Anyway, I am trying to take daily pics now so that I can truly watch the transformation. I cannot wait for my next 8 weeks! I am becoming a psycho in the gym! LOL I also tried SuperCharge Xtreme N.O. today. Pretty good stuff. I’m still all jacked up though. I haven’t decided whether or not I like this feeling!

I have made a big change! I am very please. I looked back at my before pics and can’t believe how much breast tissue I have lost! That sucks! LOL …. but I will deal with it considering the changes I have made!! Still sticking to the nutrition plan. I did have a couple cookies last night though!! I couldn’t help it. My girls were trying to get me to take a bite and I couldn’t resist anymore!!
