Well last week in my blog I stated that I was starting an 8 week cutting diet. Did great M-F. Went out of town for my 1st anniversary and bombed my plan. I diet right now is half assed. I need some more motivation to get me going again! I am going to try my best from here on out to eat right! No more out of town fun, drinks and tasty treat. The bad thing is that I was just getting over the cravings. Now I have to start all over again! I am thinking I may try to compete in April in MN. That gives me 7 months. Should be plenty of time but I really have to stay focused. Wish me luck (again)!

Well I have been on my diet for 5 days now. Things are actually starting to get a little easier. I have not cheated once! Why is it that every time I get stressed I want a Twinkie or ice cream? LOL

 This weekend is my me and my husbands first wedding anniversary and we are going out of town. This will be a true test for my diet. Wish me luck!!! Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!

This is my third day on my diet. So far I have not cheated one time. Went to Walmart and did some grocery shopping over my lunch hour and was SOOOO tempted (the worst temptation as of yet) to buy  junk. I stayed strong and didn’t. Then I realized I had no one to pick up my kids from school. Started to panic after I called a couple people and they couldn’t get them. I hate taking time off work for these kinds of reasons! Needless to say one panic lead into another until I had myself in a complete tissy. I called my husband and started ranting and raving about how stressed I am. Could this possibly be the diet that is making me have a meltdown?

So 2 weeks ago I tried on a new shirt (had it for 2 months and had not worn it) and it wasn’t fitting right. I was kind of annoyed and just thought I either gained weight or grabbed the wrong size. This morning I get up and put one of my dress shirts on that has cap sleeves and it doesn’t fit either! I finally figured it out! My shoulders obvioulsy must be getting rounder and it makes my shirt fit weird in the arms and shoulders. This kind of sucks. So where the hell am I supposed to buy clothes that fit?

Today is the first day of my 8 week, eating clean diet. I want to see what kind of changes I will see with no cheat meals whatsoever. It is going to be tough! I eat great all day long and when I get home (especially after a stressful day at work) I eat like sh*t. Wish me luck!

I took progress pics last night and I feel like I have gotten no where in the last 2 months. I have been watching my diet to a tee and working out very hard consisently 5 days a week. I have seen a trainer (who used to compete) and she looks fantastic. She trained me for 3 months and I have been following everything perfectly. I just don’t understand. Is my body just going to take longer to gain muscle or what? If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to comment.
