Training Update
I am at the point of leaning out where it gets tougher and tougher. I am patient with the fact that the fat on my legs will be the last to go. So I am lifting 5 days a weeks and doing 5 cardios also. I seem to be stuck at 135lb, although I feel like I weight less. Anyways, this is also the time when my mind plays tricks on me. You see…I gained and lost weight way too many times in my legs and glutes over the past 20 years.When you go back and forth from size 13 to 5 enough times, the skin can only take so much stretching. So as I get leaner..I get gigglier in my legs. I am trying not to to become obsessive about it, there is alot of loose skin on and right below my butt. So as the fat goes away little by little…the reflection in the mirror gets worse and worse for me. But, when I carb up for the shows it will fill in alot. Once again I will tell everyone that the point here is to JUST KEEP GOING! When things don’t seem exactly right, it’s ok. I know in my heart I am giving 100%. I want you to be patient with your body like me. DO WORK!!

Amy you are looking fantastic keep up the good work. Your current profile picture is my favorite, your legs look like they are 6′ tall. I was curious to know. Is there ever a ceiling or cap to were you want to be in your training? Is it truly possible to get that perfect physique in your mind? I think that it would be hard to be trully satisfied. A person sets the bar higher and higher but it seems that there has to be a point where you cannot go any farther. And I think that would be really hard for certain individuals to deal with. Lucky for me (not really) I have a long way to go, so I won’t have to deal with that any time soon. I am looking forward to seeing your progress.

I feel the same way about my abs. This is the first time that I have been able to see my obliques and the beginnings of ’squares’, as my daughter calls them. But I have this flap that looks worse and worse as I get leaner. I can hide it with posing and posture, but once I sit down (and we won’t even talk about bending over) it looks like I’m melting, or something. LOL! But, hey, the journey is satisfying.
See ya at the Arnold!
