Getting down there! Yesterday I did not do so much cardio. Today I will be doing 45 minutes of good cardio. My hammies hurt from yesterday still. So, today will be cardio day. Yesterday I did warm up cardio, and just about 45 min. of weights, and then 10 min of the step mill. Today, I will be doing cardio to compensate.

Thank you Jesus! Another successful day down… today is a day of it’s own. I must say I did not plan my eating today though, I brought food to work, but not enough for all my meals and snacks. Sucks.. I have to go grocery shopping tonight. Last night I did interval on the step-mill, a first for me! I did 20 minutes, starting at an OK level, and increased it to 6, doing 2 min./medium, then 1:30-2 min./hard. I was out of breath, but it kicked my arse. After, I did 30 min. medium intensity on the elliptical. I’m so hungry… today is the last day I will be at Bally’s, the Bally’s that got me back into fitness. I’m super sad, but, time to move on I guess. Today is a new day, I plan to kick my butt and legs and abs, and do 30 min. cardio since I plan on doing some heavy stuff today. I need to do lunges, angled leg press, leg ext./curls, ab/adductor machine, abs/glutes class, hyperextensions.. Can’t wait!!

I am super stoked today. Today is a great day for my fitness and motivation.  Since I started BFL, I’ve lost about 8/9 pounds of weight! That’s about a pound a week, totally healthy and on track. This last 4 weeks, I plan to def kick my progress into HIGH gear. I plan to cheat as LITTLE as possible. Not really have a cheat day or meal, but not make myself go crazy, keeping my daily caloric intake into consideration if say one day I have some fries or something. I also need to make sure that if this does happen, to get some cardio in that day too, and maybe do an extra 20 minutes just so I can really stay on track. This part, I will take day by day.  I can def tell things are changing. I met with my trainer last night, the one who will hold me accountable to make sure I lose this last bit of weight that I’ve been carrying since I was in high school. It will be hard, but I’m ready for it. I plan to have been completely transformed come April 2009, exactly 1 YEAR after starting with my first PT. I’m super excited for what I can do in the next four weeks. I’m going to emphasize focus on my eating and cardio. I know it’s ALL important, but I will be keeping myself in check more than ever. All I can say is I have 28 days left to be the best and cleanest I’ve been thus far! I’m going to try to post here everyday, or at least every other day if I can get to a computer.

Well, yeah… tipped the scale at 155 on Sat. morning! WOW, I know the scale is evil.. but I had a phenomenal week eating and working out last week and was curious. Loan behold… I could notice a difference! Not just on the scale, but in my clothes, my attitude, my everything. I have a cheater day yesterday. I had some cheese fries from outback steakhouse, they were the sheeeeet. But today, back on track. I did not take the time to make my meals this weekends for this week, so today I’ve been eating easy things, like yogurt, string cheese, had 1/3 of a leftover chipotle burrito, and drinking some diet mtn dew more. I know, not the greatest! But I am def keeping the calories down below my goal (1200). Especialllyyyyyyyy today, after last night’s fries! Tonight will be a chicken salad with fat free tangy tomato dressing post-workout. I hate eating food all randomly, I like planning it out. Granted I did not eat like a whopper or anything today, but the chipotle, the soda….. I EXILE these from my daily diet, so it’s weird eating them now. Oh well…. tomorrow will be totally back on the healthy train! And also tomorrow….. will be but 4 WEEKS LEFT to te conclusion of my B.F.L. challenge! It’s still GO TIME! Day by day, wekk by week, only 4 more to go. Now is still the time to keep on beating this damn fat.  I will be starting up with my new trainer this week too! It willl probably be the last time I have a trainer. Once I beat the fat, I will be on my own. But it’s really important that I lose it the right way. And investing in PT is, and was, worth it to me. I’ve never regretted it once. It’s time to kick some fat!

Well! Maybe I will take tonight to just do cardio. I’ve done 2 upper bodies so far and 1 lower, yesterday. So, needless to say… I think I should take a muscle break I was soooo stoked to hop on the scale yesterday after a couple week scale-strike… and this was mid-day, after eating my full, 3 small meals earlier… said 1-5-6! I was like holy crap. I changed my BB.com stats too. Now, I can officially say, I am back to where I was a year and a half ago, prior to my father passing away. I’ve officially worked off all the depression-weight.  Now, it’s time to kick it into high gear some more and get skinnnny, j/k, FIT!

Last week was a mediocre week. My average calories was at a basic maintain level oppose to lose weight. But this week I am back on track and really logging all my calories. I’ve also LOST my workout binder/journal/log!!!! Ugh, pisses me off so bad because I have had that binder 2 weeks before starting BFL. So over a month of training logs and stuff went missing…. I’m going to make another one though this weekend. I really liked having it. Still cracking away at the workouts. As of today I officially have 5 weeks left of BFL challenge. I have hoenstly veered a little away from being super consistent, but I’ve been persistant more than anything with using that date as a goal to just be the best that I can be. Now, 5 weeks to go. I know it’s going to fly, just like the other 7 that’ve already passed! I am going to really kick my workouts up a notch too. I’m going to be supersetting, and using the BFL method of sets. I did that yesterday for my upper bod and boy do I feel it today. I lovvvve it! Today will be abs and triceps and back. Yesteday I did ant./post/med delts, biceps, chest. Tomorrow will be legs and booty. November 25th is coming up fast!

Well my branch of Bally’s is shutting down cause they lost their lease.. So, I’m going to another gym that’s actually closer to my work, LA Fitness. I’m going to finish out the month wit my abs/glutes classes, but after I will be officially changing my home gym. It’s pretty sad, like a memory. We will see my final poundage loss there in a couple days, but after I will be starting anew at LAF.

Wow, I still think time is flying by. I have def had my share of struggles, but all in all I am persevering! Past 2 weeks had more set backs, but this week, since Friday have been back on it in full swing! I did not go to the gym this morning though on account I did not wake up until 6:30am… errrr. But I guess I would not have slept if I did not need it right? I will be going tonight too to the abs/glutes class! And then after doing some more abs and glutes and hamstrings, quads. Lower body pretty much is my Wednesdays. Followed by some cardio! Probably step mill and precor for today, 45 min. I have been pretty tired though lately, just stressed with minor things. I think once I keep eating clean I’ll be okay. It’s been 4 weeks, not sure if I hae lost any weight, I don’t want to get on the scale an get discouraged though. But today, I will kick my own @$$ at the gym. Once I’m there, everything is golden.
