100 % on diet and water….but irritable today and low energy (carb depletion after eating a million carbs a sitting i.e  1/2 gallon ice cream, 1/4 of a creme filled three layered cake, a monster cookie and cream puff)….LOL ..feel light headed…today was my no training day…I train Tues. thru Sunday….tomorrow…quads, hams, shoulders and abds.

I love this diet Jay designed for me..he really does focus on individual preferences and how your body responds to feeds…he is teaching me a great deal. For years I would drink Myoplex and not eat a real meal but maybe once a day…then be so hungry after a week that I would eat a whole can of cashews or almonds (not to meantiono cheesecake with hot fudge 2 slices   at least   sometimes 3…..so to eat real food again has been awesome…tks to his guidance the first go round I have learned to enjoy eating food again.

Came home and napped…then worked on my food for tomorrow…planning, planning, planning is the key.

It is funny, everyone thinks they are a expert when it comes to leaning out and maintaining muscle for a comp. It is interesting how people revert to "used to"…I refer to them as all the folks from USTA, USA. I really do not give a care about what you did in USTAville….let your physique speak to what you are doing now…..I love the excuses as well… I just say…hold on a sec.,  let me get my laser pointer and I will point to the 101 excuse board that I have for I have heard EVERY excuse  for not being fit.

ANOTHER interesting phenomena is the "cost" attitude. I reply…we all decide where we place our investments based on personal value. Some people put a lot of money into clothes, jewelry, cars, eating out, partying, etc., I choose to invest in my health….call me CRAZY!!! Billions of dollars a year are spent on fad diets that FAIL…like this HGC thing…talk about costly…when that money could be invested with someone who knows the game like JAY and the results are amazing.

OMG…what am I thinking…that would require effort, dedication, discipline, motivation, patience, perseverance and NOT instant gratification…

I must really be carb depleted/spacey!!!  LOL

I was able to keep my heart rate between 99 and 114 for 45 mins of my cardio today and I burnt 60% of the calories from fat A couple of time it got up to 120…but I quickly brought it back down. And….I was able to stretch and hold for 15 secs on my stretches. A few of the exercises I held for 30 secs for all 10 sets……yippee…but wow..I am so tired.

WOW…my weight is down from 145.5 to 139.5 in one week…talk about a lot of water weight….I only lost one and one half pounds of fat (which is right on target)…I was up to 31 pounds of body fat…today I am 29 1/2 pounds of fat. I have to get at least 11 more pounds of pure fat off and preserve my lean muscle….what a challenge that is.

Back…shoulders…wood choppers…my shoulders are really alive!! That workout ws really challenging as well….whew..I am tired….in a great way!
I just discovered a great tasting post weight training meal…protein pancake with just protein powder, water and vanilla flavoring, power peannt butter (all natural) and fresh strawberries…I have died and gone to heaven….I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER….for one tbsp it has 10 fat (all from flax), 12 protein and 6 carbs….ahhhhhhh…

I am in the worst mood I have been in for over a year….I wanna "bitch slap" somebody  ..LOL. Whew…I feel better!!!! I missed a meal this morning so that got me going…had to compensate for that all because I talked with a posing coach (unplanned). Then found out I have no insurance due to my FREAKING recruiter….I am so not happy with her and her snotty attitude.

Oh, well….on the great side….diet is going well although I am light headed this evening…not sure why…could it be I MISSED my morning FEED!!!!!and then had to play make-up!!!!

Off to train….yesterdays workout was challenging  {milding put} (yea!)  Single legged squats off a bench….help me lord…I feel like I am such a WUS right now…. dead lifts put me in the dirt but at least I can do them….up to 100 pounds with good form. I could not do 15 one-legged off the bench squats with 5 lbd dumb bells…:o(

Love the challenge and cannot wait to see how much stronger/tighter I get… all tks to JAY!!!!

I had cases all day…did not get home until 8:00 pm….made myself go to the gym and wooooaaaaa…what a workout Jay has designed for me. I thought I had been working out hard on my own…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….NOT!
I am a wupped puppy.
My toes started cramping on one exercise….hate that….it is bad enough to be in pain from working out without the added muscle cramps…and…in my feet?????????? Geezzzz….
I barely completed my workout before the gym closed….I was the last one to leave but I "Got er done".
I will be glad when I get stronger so I do not webble wobble when I try to do single leg squats…..:o(

I am a wus!!!!! Tonight was a stretching routine and then cardio designed by Jay….I was looking forward to the stretches….OMG!! Talk about a challenge for me. And no, it is not just stretching but isometric contraction  as well. I was sweating and could not hold then for more than 10-15 secs…heart rate was up, have mercy, and I felt like a wus….but, once again…LOVE IT!!!

100% on the diet and water…love  Xtend and NO Xplode pre-work out ( I forgot to take it one day and wow…what a difference it makes).

This is day three of strict eating….I love it so far…  LOL. I have been taking in a gallon and one half of water (at least) a day….what a difference it makes when you are well hydrated!!!

I have been doing my own training routines based on what Jay taught me.  Sun. and Monday I stepped it up a notch…really concentrating and holding the contraction at the peak….also tried working to failure and then doing partial reps to failure then just holding the contraction as long as I can. THEN>>>>>tonight…I started my new routine designed by Jay….I was already sore, especially my abds and tris…now…wow, he stepped it up to a whole new level…One word…OUCH….I love it and I am exhausted…….He is really amazingly talented when it comes to all this stuff!!!!

YEA>>>>>I am training with Jay again…..so HAPPY!!!! and Excited….started my diet today to "be better" than I was before….right now…I look like  bloated oinker…..

Still training hard….hopefully within three weeks I will start to lean out and drop some of this fat….

What an awesome job she has done!!!!So…I want to compete in November, get this fat OFF, and be a long, lean, muscle machine..LOL. JAY>>>I need you!!!! He is awesome and I pray he will work with and train me so I can at least not embarrass myself on stage.

OK…my weight is up. My workouts are ok. My diet sucks. So, goal this week….stick to diet. Train hard…keep track  of food, water and workouts and hope you guys will help hold me accountable…

Performed my cardio this am…treadmill/stair mill/arch trainer…then  push ups and stretched. Total time   115 mins…calories burned: 612…35% were fat. This evening….hams and glutes……:o)
