I’m on a new diet!  And I’m super excited because I KNOW I’ll get better results this time.  I’m simply cutting 400 cals out from my diet so I should start shedding some serious fat!  I can’t wait.  I’ll take some pics TODAY and try and make this thing work.  It usually says the pics are too big?  So if that happens, I’m skee-rude.  But if anyone has come across this problem, help a g out! hehe  Well Thanks for the support everyone!  I LOVE YALL

WOOOOOOOOOOOO I bought a new magazine today I’m so thrilled to read it.

Hello everybody!  How was Christmas!?  I hope it was wonderful.

I have been doing really great, I have been so blessed this year, I’m so thankful!

Everything seems to be going reallllly, reallly, sllooww.  ugh Talk about frustrating!  I mean, I am happy with my body everyday, but you know, I just want more… NOW!  haha

I have been doing great on my diet and working out, don’t get me wrong… it’s hard!  This week especially has been tough with Christmas, "Oh it’s Christmas, I can have a couple of Dark Hershey Kisses"  Which I know isn’t bad, but I get so guilty!  I try not to be though, because I know I deserve it.  It’s just that… I don’t want to start making excuses to eat that stuff and slack off!  I don’t think I will… but I have been struggling getting to the gym and sticking with the full workout.  BUT once I get there and finish, I’m super glad I did it.  I’m just ready to get back into the groove-  Christmas over and done with.

So next week will be a usual week finally and everything will be in it’s place.  From now on, I’ll have ONE cheat day a week when I can have a little Chocolate or whatever I desire.  I want to be serious about this because I know if I stick with it, I won’t regret it.

I need to put pictures up all in my room of Jamie Eason and hott girls to keep me motivated.  Like today… I was taking a nap before the gym… my alarm goes off at 2:30, and I wasn’t going to go.  (lazy)  Well…. The dogs start barking madly and I couldn’t go back to sleep and I got really upset and screamed at the dogs!  haha so I wanted to go to the gym after all that stress!!  hahah LOOK God is watching out for me.  He knew what He was doing.

 Speaking of God, I bought the new BarlowGirl CD.  FLIPPIN’ AWESOME!!!  WOW!  It’s amazing how God can push you through a workout.  I just close my eyes during cardio and let the music drive me.  It’s so awesome and I almost started crying because the music is so powerful… not the music.  GOD.  Everyone should get the new BarlowGirl CD- "How can we be Slient"

You know what Christmas means… Pies and…. well I don’t remember what else is at Christmas but I know it’s no good!  But What really matters is that there are pies, and I hope everyone keeps strong!  I know I wil!  

 The only problem is.. I have a hard time eating at Christmas and Thanksgiving because I will not eat turkey or duck or whatever… and I will not eat cheese.  and I would perfer to not to have anything with eggs in it.  It just kind of grosses me out.

SOO… luckily I have a sweet grandma who makes sure I get my baked sweet potato with absolutely nothing on it except cinnamon. and a salad.  Maybe I can bring my own meatless chili over and eat that!  Pretty good idea if you ask me.  Ok well Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone with beautiful abdominals!  haha Well actually I’m kind of in a rut.  you see… I know I won’t be able to see my abs even if I worked the heck out of them, so why do them?  I know I need to, they are just my weak spot, you know?  I need to get a routine a few times a week and start.  I love side bends on the cables, and I love crunches too, and bicycles!  See? I know plenty of exercises.  ok I’ll start today! Even though it;s my off day.. it’s just abs right???  I don’t think that’s too much.  Well.. I can’t wait to start abs!  Isn’t that crazy!! hahah

So I was all excited about coming back strong after a week off from overtraining.  Well, I still can’t sleep at night, and I’m working so hard all day; I’m worn out.  It really sucks because this is just a delay toward my goals!    But I MUST listen to my body and not overtrain again.  Soo… Bicep day will have to wait until tomorrow.  But it’s all good!  Rest IS the most important thing and I have to remember that.  I’m happy now that I’m actually making myself rest today.  I know I’ll feel better in the long run.  I’ll reach my goals soon enough.  Just keep focused.  I’m also giving up pickles after this jar.  I think I’ll be better off without the extra sodium.  I can stick with carrots and celery.  Thank you everybody for that suppot! Love ya!

I just got finished with my leg workout today on no sleep!  YAY I feel great too.  It’s SUCH a mind game!  I tried not to think about how I didn’t get much sleep last night and I did great!  Ohh, I swear I almost left the gym when I got there because I was playing mind games with myself, "Amanda, you did not sleep last night, you are tired, sleepy and weak."  But I said, "Shut up, head.  You’re a wussy.  Suck it up!!"  So I did great!!  Tonight, I’m going to take a hot bath and relax right before bedtime to be sure I have a good night’s sleep.

 I’m so proud of myself for going to the gym regardless.  That just goes to show you how disciplined you HAVE to be to want something as bad as I do.  I’ll admit, I planned on taking the day off after 8 hours at Sonic this morning and resting, but my friend Norma, goood ol’ Norma said, "Just go to the gym…" and I said, "You’re right, Norma!"  I can handle anything!!  One night of sleep deprivation is NOT going to ruin my whole week.  SOO  I’m still on schedule guys!!  Tomorrow: 5:00am CARDIO before breakfast!  And I’m soo excited!  Right on schedule.

It’s 2 am, and I have to be up in 3 hours for work.  ug.  I seriously can’t sleep.  obviously.  I’m so mad that I can’t sleep, that it’s making me stressed.  ok, ok.  CALM DOWN.  I can live without one night of sleep.  Tomorrow… or today (geez) is LEG day, my FAVorite workout day of the week.  And I haven’t slept!  BUT I slept about 12 hours last night and took it easy today (no workout) sooo maybe I’ll be ok tomorrow. (today) geez.  hmmm.. If I don’t feel energized today after work I’ll just have to do legs tomorrow.  I swear that messes up my whole friggin’ week.  I don’t know what to do, I’m seriously stressed out.  I know, I know.  I’m being silly it’s not that big of a deal, but it is for me!  I don’t like to work without sleep!  I’m all pissy and stuff.

I’s ok I just need to take a deep breath and be happy!  ok I’m all better.

Soooo, yeah.  I’m pretty sure I am overtrained.  I have all the symptoms and it sucks!

This means rest.  Rest, rest, rest.  And as soon as  feel better I will SLOWLY hit it again.  But easy does it, because feeling tired all the time is not fun.  I want energy to work out!! 

 I wonder if I should do light cardio.  I think I might.  Light.  I really can’t stand not doing anything all day.  Work busts my butt anyway, so I might be ok without cardio.  I hope I feel better soon.  I feel like I’m never going to feel good again.  Surely I will, I know I need rest. 

 I’ve had about 3 total rest days in the past 2 months!  Man.  That’s not good!
