LEANER,SEXIER, DETERMINED!

Woke up today feeling like a million bucks, only part of my legs that are sore are my hams and calfes, leads me to believe I aint squatting with enough weight, I think I am underestimating the strength of my quads, will have to up that for next time.
But I woke up leaner today, my stoamch is flatter and there are some new muscles peeking out, wish I could upload pics but since I am on vacation, no computer to upload and cannot upload from my phone, hey atleast I can blog about it. We are going camping tomorrow for the long weekend, looking forward to it but not, no gym which means I’ll be missing atleast one day out of the training sched, two if the gyms are closed holiday monday, wonder if I decided to stay home if the family would mind(lol), yeah that wouldnt fly. Oh well, I am supposed to be on vacation, two days away wont hurt, I’ll just keep eating clean while I am there and get back to business when I am back.
Another sign I am leaning out, my boyfriend starts asking me where my breasts have gone Its always the first thing to go

So, did my first workout that was planned out for me, started on day four as I had already worked out earlier in the wk and it so happened to fall on me doing a leg workout, high reps and lots of them. I can honestly say that when I left I felt my legs might give on the way down the stairs, good job!!!! At the moment legs dont feel too bad but we will see how things are tomorrow. Will be doing upper body tomorrow and after I go to play a game of softball(if its not rained out) maybe I’ll hit one out in the field, hehe, they never expected that from little ol me

Today is the start of a new plan, training and diet set up for me by Camster(bless him for helping) and so today I start anew.
I will be doing alot more in the gym than I have been doing and eating alot more calories than I am used to.
As a woman of course I start thinking really, I have to eat all that!! WHAT!!
But hey, I’ve got faith in him though and seriously if you’ve seen him here on bodyspace you’d understand he obviously knows what hes talking about cause really, look at him
So my agenda today is to start of with the new workout and buy protein and the food I will need. I took some time last night and planned out the days I would need to be in the gym so I could let my man know when I am going to be out of the house cause with 3 children you cant just get up and head out to the gym.
He is being supportive (for now) and says if this is what I am passionate about then he’ll help me anyway he can. which means alot more time at home for him(lol) and alot of me taking time for me but its all planned out so hopefully there wont be any snags.
Its important to have the people closest to you there to support you, your spouse, your kids, your friends. I would like to think I have that. Off for a shower and out the door, later.

Today is day 2 of vacation or should I say being home. Not really a vacation if you are doing laundry, cleaning and organizing
I felt like hell when I woke up this morning, had a glass of wine last night, big mistake! Made me feel just nasty this morn, so I eventually hopped on my bike and sweated out whatever alchohol I had in my system, then had breakie and went out for laundry soap and coffee, so right now I feel good, especially cause I looked good too
So I’ve got a confession to make, I just quit smoking, it was one week yesterday, I have quit on and off for the past 10yrs, picking back up the habit when I got stressed, I knew it was time to stop but kept holding on to it like a good buddy. I finally got an eye opener when my kid tells me you smell like smoke and when are you going to quit, Good reason enough right!
So anyways its been over a week, did it with the help of zyban but ran out of that last friday so now its cold turkey! I have done it before and at 31 I need to face the facts that its not attractive, it stinks and it can kill me, all these thing I knew before but chose to disregard it, cause it what a part of me but no more. I cant do it no more, I have too much to live for.

Today is my first day of vacation and as I write this from my bed I am thinking I wish I wasnt on vacation, it just throws me right off schedule, sleeping in late, not eating on time. Thank goodness I have a gym schedule with my co-worker or else I dont know???
The kids are just tickled pink to be at home with mom, its unfortunate that they only get me for one week.
Training legs today, I always look forward to it. Its a good way to start the week. So weighed myself today and I am at 135 and BF is 17.6 according to accumeasure calipers. I AM ECSTATIC!!!
Off to eat breakie

Today is a rest day, no working out. I need the time off yet I feel guilty if I dont atleast hop on the bike so before I head out with my girls tonight I will have to or it will just not feel right.  Did not get out of bed until 10am which is not usual as my son is up at the crack of dawn but this morning decided to play in his room, god he’s just so perfect .  I put him on sugar patrol, he asks me the other day if I wanted some icecream and I told him "no, mom cant have any sugar", he looks at me and says "you had a gummybear yesterday and that has sugar in it mom" Caught red handed (LMAO), so I told him he’s in charge of sugar, he turns 4 next month, kid is too smart I tell ya!

Hello all, today is chest,tricep and ab day, did 30 min on the bike this morning and it’s geting easier to do. It’s a great start to my day. So I check my bodyfat this morning and came to realize that I was using the calipers wrong(LOL)

So I am hovering around 18% bodyfat **yippee** a bit closer to my goal than I thought. Will do a weigh in at the gym today and let you know how that pans out. I feel great, optomistic. I go on holidays next week and have to find a way to still workout, I don’t want to not workout the whole week, especially when I am on a roll. Gonna have to figure that out.

This morning after 30 min on my bike I took some pics cause you have to look at yourself and see where you need to focus on. My 11 daughter took the pics for me and I posted them today. So……although I have 14 wks and am at 134lb(weighed this morn) it is painful to look at pics of my butt cause I know that is my weakness, sure it looks good in a pair of jeans but really I’ve got to step it up to be stage ready. I figure that I’ve got about 12lbs to lose(which I think is all in my backside) in 14wks, that’s doable right??? It’s all about me not slacking on cardio and not giving up cause I don’t see results fast enough, it’s about me not letting anyone deter me from my goal, it’s about me looking at myself honestly, breaking past my comfort zone and getting things happening. I can look at other people and hope to look like them one day or I can put a plan into action so that people are looking at me and thinking "damn, I wanna look like her". I am PUMPED!!!!!

On another note, locked myself out of my vehicle this morning at work, thankfully the building super helped me break into it to get my keys, yeah, don’t get any better than that!

Hey everyone, today was back, abs and biceps day. It was a great workout and because I actually had some good carbs 1.5hrs before I had lots of energy. So feeling good about that. I’ve been able to get pics up with my progress, I had to use my camera phone which means I have to upload it at work cause no internet at home(just on my phone). I do have to buy another camera soon though so I can upload all my progress. I got some really good advice on dieting from friends on bodyspace, it’s helped. And in one week will let you know if I’ve dropped some weight, all I am asking is for 1lb a week. Checked weight today at the gym was 136 but I feel leaner so have to check BF. We’ll have to see
