The Transformation Playoffs….

That is the percentage of which I am tired of chicken baked,grilled or fried in olive oil.I haven’t boiled it yet is the reason my dislike isn’t 100%.I have decided to eat turkey,fish and tuna;maybe I can go back to eating chicken.Of course if was battered and deep fried,licks finger tips, there would not be a problem.I assume that my protein intake will be ok with those 3 choices without chicken if it being boiled doesn’t excite my taste buds.

leg day,I hate training legs but I do it because I am suppose to.But I won’t let my disgust of leg day bring down my renewed energy over the last couple of days.Now the only thing I need to do is find some new music for my Zune to keep me moving through my cardio.If anyone has any good,anything fast pace I am all ears!For now I am listening to T.I. until I get tired of it,then I don’t know what I will be listening too.

back to doing my cardio fully.I have been slacking big time but it is officially over.I rode 30 minutes on my bike and I did my run/walk routine for an hour.I will do sprints later on to finish it off.To point it out yes I do LOVE doing cardio,it gives me time to think.For a couple of weeks I have been doing about 20 minutes every other day but I still felt sluggish.Today is the first time I have done cardio the way I like and I feel a LOT better.So let cardio continue!!

I will be between 200-210lbs,because I leave for RTC on March 3rd.I joined the Navy which was the reason for my current weight loss;well actually I had intended on joining the Air Force Reserves but it didn’t work out that way.I have quite a long wait because of the job I wanted wasn’t available till then but it is a good thing since it will give me 4 months to drop 30lbs.I am well below the already but I would like to be a lighter weight just for my own personal comfort level going through the training.So I have decided that my goal is to be lean medium size of muscle(make sense?) and then after my training is over I will decide if I would like to put on more muscle.Oh an I still will have to get my six pack so I can see what penny08 can do in a cheerleading top,skirt,underwear(optional?,lol),pom pom socks and whatever they wear.My goals for now.

My abs are slowly coming in,now I am working on my back searching for my lats.Which I think they will show up when my BF% drops even lower,right now I am around 12.6%.That is a long way from being over 30% which I was at the end of March when I entered the Muscle Tech contest.I did have two cheats,buffalo popcorn(didn’t really have any taste) and a snickers ice cream bar last night which was mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmm,lol,but I only had one of those bars.I didn’t feel guilty afterwards either,mainly because I only had one and not the whole box.That pepped my spirits up as well knowing that I have found self control,something I haven’t seen a while.Starting tomorrow no more cheats at all,because I am ready to see some abs now if it would stop raining so I can go outside and run,I would be set.

,cookies,cakes,pies & ice cream;why do I crave things that I know won’t satisfy me anymore.I should have paid attention during Psych class,lol.I resisted the urge the Wings,cheesecake,cookies & donuts;yes i had a craving for each one after another.I almost did the "just one time won’t hurt,I will just do an extra 30 minutes of cardio" but I bought some garden vegetables mix and brown rice which filled me up.I know the Body For Life does give you a free day to eat what ever you want but I am choosing not to take it to help me continue on my journey.Now it is time for a chicken breast.

,well I wasn’t really off but my feet was dangling,lol.After the Muscle Tech Contest ended on July 14 and I was down to 239lbs,I felt quite good about myself.I was sure the weight would just keep coming off but losing 45lbs in about 3 1/2 months really drained me.Having to constantly explain why I was eating the way I do and I didn’t want that every single day didn’t help matters either.So splurged with some sugar free cookies which I had longed for the whole time through the contest,well they didn’t taste like they use too.I never stopped working out,I just didn’t maintain the whole clean eating.So I decided to eat some oatmeal raisin cookies,still didn’t do it for me.So why was I craving things that doesn’t taste the same any more,I suppose my senses just remembers how good it use to taste.But now that I have went back and tried the devil’s candy which doesn’t do it for me anymore.So now my taste buds salivate for chicken breast,fish,turkey & etc… you get the drift.I admit I went through a little down time with my cardio,the energy just wasn’t there.That is when I decided to do the Body4Life, the first work out had me so tired & fatigued I loved it.It gave me the boost I needed and my energy started coming back.So now I would just like to say my energy is completely back and not only am I back on the Fitness Goal wagon,I am about to start pulling it,lol.I had to say it,sounded good.lmao

I was wondering if using weights with my ab work outs will make them extremely bigger.I would like them to be strong but I don’t want to increase the size of them.Or does it even matter,will abs grow like other muscles will?

The work outs are nice basically just decrease weight,increase reps & vice versa.I’ve always wanted to do that but I never took the time to plan it out by how man reps or how much weight to increase.The only thing is that the work out only uses 2 exercises for each muscle group that day.There are a lot of exercises that I like to do that can’t unless I just rotate exercises each week until I do them all.I don’t know if that would be beneficial to go that many exercises or should I stick to about 6.Meaning would I continue to increase strength or would it just take a little longer.Besides those concerns it did give me a great work out,I was fatigued from lifting.I haven’t felt that fatigued in a while.Also my chest & my lats are a little sore which has been a while since anything was sore.I am going to keep it up and the intensity;hopefully it will take me where I would like to be.

Well I said I wasn’t taking anymore progress pics for a while;because I got to caught in trying to compare them and I don’t know if I was having any progress.But today after my back workout,I felt like my back was a little tighter so I just had to take one back pic to see.An well I may be delusional,hoping for to much but I think my lats may be growing.But I have looked at all of my before pics but I really can’t tell,sooo no more progress pics for a month.Then I will be able to tell if there is any progress or not.The one thing I am finally waving by to is my love handles;since they are finally moving out,I hope the lats will finally move in,lol.
