LFG27’s BodyBlog

So, I lifted my weights last night (light back) and did about 30 minutes on the treadmill. I was in the ladies room gathering my things when one of the aerobics instructors asks if I will be staying for Kickboxing class. So I did. It turned out to be very intense (the instructor went extra hard on us because we were off for the holiday).

Where is this going? My appetitie is out of control today!! I am maintaining myself nicely but I can’t stop thinking about food! It must mean that I burned a ton of calories last night or my glycogen stores are empty

I weighed in at 132 this morning. My weight is falling really fast. I guess I ought to get my bodyfat tested to make sure I am not losing muscle. I just finished off my first bottle of Cytolean. It really does work like ephedra did. Maybe thats where the extra weight loss is coming from.

I had stopped buying nuts. I know they are a good source of vitamins, fiber and healthy fats but once I opened the can I would eat at least half of it before i could get myself to stop. I decided yesterday to buy a small can unsalted. I had always bought the salted version. I had no problem stopping with a small handful! Must have been the salt/fat combo in the salted version that trigerred overindulging.

God bless all!

I was looking at my Bodyspace profile and realized that the 30th of this month will be two years to the day since I began my quest to become fitter. I have come a long way.  I know I will be even fitter and stronger than I am  now two years from now. I hope this finds all who read it realizing their dreams! God bless!

I had my photoshoot Saturday May 19. It went very well (I think). But I have reached my old goals. Time to set some new ones. I want to get my bodyfat down low enough that one would be able to bounce quarters off of my butt!:) Ha! Ha!

I am sodium depleting. This process began Wednesday night after 6:00 pm. No carbs, no sodium and I think I came in at a grand total of 840 calories yesterday. Unfortunately I won’t fare much better today. Saturday after my photoshoot I will begin to eat normally again. However, I will not be taking a cheat day. To do so after being soooo strict will set me up for a binge fest! Hope this finds all who read it with good food in their bellies and happy hearts! God bless!

Turns out the photo shoot is on for Saturday! I am attempting for the first time to sodium load/deplete. I was informed that this tactic could potentially backfire so keep your fingers crossed everyone! (unless of course you are doing bicep curls or whatnot, that would be akward)  God bless y’all! Hope this finds everyone doing well!

I have lost another 4 pounds! I know from here on out it is going to get harder and harder. Just learned this morning the photographer that was doing my photoshoot this next Saturday had to cancel. Looks like I’ll have to postpone my official "after" pictures until I can find another photographer. Best of luck to all this reaches!

Struggling today. I have decided to start carb cycling in order to lean out more. Yesterday and today are both low carb days and I can feel the difference in my mood. I am less "tolerant" of other people. I had a few people bring me down yesterday, commenting on the size of my muscles. That females look better with more "tone" and less muscle. So why is it that I was more readily accepted by the people of my small town when I was fat and now that I am fit, healthy, and yes muscular I am no longer considered "normal"?

I am muscular, I will stay muscular. I love who I have become and those people who don’t understand that will never bring me down again.
