The Countdown BEGINS!

Ok..so not sure if I deprived my body of carbs too much or what, but this week has been horrible! I eat anything I see and don’t even care! I have meals planned out..but just don’t feel like eating what I have planned, so change it and then it all goes to hell from there!

My husband and I have been talking about trying to get pregnant, so I think maybe that has changed the way I have been looking at my meals and workouts. With trying to get pregnant, I don’t think it would be a good idea to lose any more body fat…being 35 is already a disadvantage, I don’t need more things against me.

So looking at my goal now then…not even really sure. I still want to tone up. Mostly lower body..have that extra fat still lingering around my butt and thighs, so I want to get rid of that..but not even sure its possible without losing body fat.

So I guess I am just a mess right now…gonna keep trudging away with the weight and hopefully get my meals back on track and see how things go….

Friday I could hardly get out of bed, so that was my day off! My lower body is hurting….a good hurting, but SHIT! My clients probably think I have a stick up my ass cuz I can hardly move! LOL! So guess my lower body workout was a good one. Yesterday was some free meals also…not a good thing when my husband is home, hes bad influence! Oh well, back on track today!
This morning did intervals on the treadmill for 15 minutes. Not very long, but I had to get to work. Off to stretch so I can workout tomorrow!

This morning was lower body…Here is my workout:

A1)Squats 3×12 at 65lbs

A2)BSS 3×12 at 24lbs

B1)Bent Leg Deadlifts 3×12 at  55lbs

B2)Step Ups 3×10 at 30 lbs

C1) Seated Leg Press 3×12 at 109lbs

C2)Stability Ball Leg Curl 3×12

D1)Calves

That is what I am doing this week, need to get my workouts changed up a bit for the upcoming week. Was a good workout anywhoooo…legs were pretty tired when I left gym.  My forearms are still tired from mondays workout…weird…

Back from vacation…had a blast in Vegas, had 4 days off and I’m so ready to get back to "ME".

I’m still working on losing that BF, hopefully getting it down to 17%, at least thats my goal for now. I am currently at 18.5%, so I’m getting there.

So, the newest workout routine is gonna look something like this:

Week 1 - Heavy Week, reps of 8 at high weights. 3 days of strength, one lower body, one upper body and one split. Cardio light on off days.

Week 2 - Medium intensity week, reps at 10-12. 3 days of strength, one lower, one upper and one split. Heavy cardio on days off.

Repeat. I plan to change the exercises up every 2 weeks to keep my muscles always working!

Nutrition will look like this: Calories 1600-1800, Carbs 80g, Protein 135g, Fat 101

In doing lots of experimenting the past couple weeks, I find that my body responds better to lower carbs and higher fats. So thats what I plan to keep doing, at least for the next month.

I plan to keep updating here, as much as possible. Life has kept me extremely busy, my training in the morning, working FT daycare during the day, training 2-3 clients each nite and saturday. Add to that, keeping up with website and website blog, plus all the other stuff that goes along with managing a website. But, hey…I love it!

Training so far this week: Monday-upper body and cardio, Tuesday- interval training on treadmill. Tomorrow is lower body.

Well, I finally updated my pix and measurements! Slowly reaching my goals, but not there yet. I have been trying to really stay away from the starchy carbs, increase my fats and eat calories at 1800. It has really made a difference. I find that when I eat too many starchy carbs I get all bloated and sick. Plus I would rather eat more fats anyhows! LOL

We are heading to Vegas this coming Thursday, so will be on a ‘break’ for couple days, but then will be super ready to hit it hard when I get back. I am not quitting until I see that damn BF read 17%!!
