Week 2 Begins… Have faith…
Hi BB friends. My first week on the new diet and training plan went well. It is a competition style diet and I am easing into it. I will continue making improvements each week until I am following it to the letter. For example, I still have milk in my diet and I am supposed to get rid it. Well, I have two half gallons of ultrapasteurized milk left in my fridge and I’m not dumping it. Right now I use it in my protein cereal in the morning and in my coffee. I’ve already switched to 2tbs of creamer for the coffee (eventually I’ll drop that too) and that brings the carbs down significantly for my morning meal. Although it raises my fats but still fits into my daily macros nicely. When I’m done with these two half gallons…I’ll be done with drinking milk for the remainder of these 16 weeks…actually 15 now. There is some serious re-programming that has to happen when you are on a competition diet… Remember those ads…"MILK. It does a body good" Well apparently not on a competition diet if it has greater than 5 grams of sugar per serving!!!
Training went well. Currently following a M-F schedule it was odd having two days off in a row…but I really did need the rest. In fact, I am still feeling sore in my legs, chest and abs but recovering well. Eventually I’ll be on 6 days but it’ll be nice to have the weekends off for the first part of the summer!!
No cheat meal this week. I figured the milk was cheating enough and I had a few pieces of sesame candies my Mom brought back from the island. Those are all gone now. I’m not a big cheater! lol! 
My bf is currently measuring at 20.0%. It’s a fickle machine (must be a girl…lol!) But it’s all I have to work with for now and it gives me a general idea of where I am in terms of my fitness. My weight is holding steady at 120 lbs(hope I can hang on to my weight and not lose any).
Oh..right…the water thing. Well I drank a half gallon everyday. Baby steps :0)
I hope this works! Not seeing many changes but feeling pretty good and having Faith that all will turn out well.
Much love,
Surf :0)

Congratulations on a good week - keep up the great work!

Wow, I find it hard to believe you’re 20 percent bodyfat. You look much less than that in your avatar photo!! You probably are like 15 or even 14. You hang in there. I started New Years. Yeah, 2007! It didn’t happen overnight for me. You’ll have your ups and downs but it will come. I would highly recommend www.burnthefat.com to you. Tom Venuto changed it all for me as I had hit a wall a few montsh ago. Well, best wishes!! You look awesome now! I can’t wait till you get ripped!!
