In 2002 when I wanted to loose weight, I did a lot of things wrong but one thing I figured out was that cutting out refined carbs and grains made my body drop excess weight the fastest. After being re-inspired by a fellow bodyspace member I have decided that while I am incredibly impressed at how my body performs and I am in damn great shape I want just a little better (its that damn perfectionist in me).

For 2 days going on 3 all of my carbohydrate sources have come from fruits or veggies.. I am lean proteins and healthy fats such as avocados, raw almonds and natural peanut butter (in the right portions of course). I am also guzzling water like I haven’t drank in days and avoiding salty foods.

My plan is to stay on the no refined carbs m-f for another 2 weeks or sooner depending upon how fast I can get the look I desire (my body responds well and very fast when I cut out carbs)… the weekends: Sat I will allow myself grains at each meal in the right portion sizes of course and on Sun I will allow it in 3 of my 6 meals as well as make one of those meals my "cheat" meal.

This is going to take a whole lot of determination and willpower since I don’t have anyone who surrounds me who lives or understands this lifestyle.. wish me luck..here we go!!!!

For the past 6 weeks I have pushed and pushed and pushed myself.. much to my surprise  I did not give up and did not keep up.. I even made it past and injury and some junk food. My workouts have gone from standard to out of the box with each one improving my endurance, balance, strength and so on.. I am pretty impressed..

I have decided to take this to another level and while the rest of America is gaining their winter weight I will be tightening it all up even more. Have a photo shoot this Thursday and another in 4 weeks.. I’ll post pics in a month to see the difference..

Keep on training and break though the traditional!

So, I could go right on to blame the junk eating on my dad being in town and it being his bday or that i am depressed therefore I eat but who the heck knows the true logic between it!!! it seems every time i get hurt and cant train i just eat whatever in whatever amounts.. ridiculous!!

So, I have been kicking it up with 45 min cardio a day right now, and the other day I woke up to my left thigh completely swollen.. hurts to put pressure on or to touch.. I talked to a doc friend.. and have been given instructions to rest and ice it.. The swelling is down now, still hurts a bit but I just dont do rest very well my friends!!!!! I am dying to get back in there and train and fighting the urge to eat the junk around me.. some moral support please?!?!
