Well i think is time for me to start a new plan becuase i wasnt seeing any new gains from the program that I was on. It could be becuase i was doing the same thing for the past 6 months..LOL (dont like change) But now I am going to try and do the 12 week program and see what improvements i get.

My first day was yesterday and I must say that it kicked my butt. I am not used to using just my body weight. So yeah i had to put a little more effort in lifting my big butt up and doing chin-ups. If you want to see what i did just look at my work out log. I feel great this morning we will see how i feel after tonights workout.

Stats:

Weight - 127 lbs

Bodyfat - 23.7%

Well i turned 26 today and my son turned 6 as well. This is our first time not celebrating our birthday together and hes a little upset about that…Actually i think im the one upset about it and he is cool as long as he still gets his gifts! LOL. I cant wait til i can get home and we do something just he and I, like we do every year. But you know at least im still breathing and able to see him in less than two weeks right…

I Stand Before You

I stand before you all today

But not one eye can see my way

My time arrived, to leave this earth

A fact so planned, to every birth

It happened where I had to go

My torch for life was so aglow

I transferred while in uniform

Protecting freedom, through a storm

Should I resent I died for you

Not on my life, red white and blue

Please help my family through each day

Tell all my friends, try not to stray

And of the country I did love

Do think of me, through God above

Your memories, brought forth this day

Send love to us, who could not stay

Well today is the beginning of my downward travel when it comes to going home. I am now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel where my journey and adventure in Iraq must and will come to an end.

I can’t say the whole time that i was out here was all bad becuase then i would be lying. I met a lot of wonderful people on this deployment and most of which will be life long friends. When I hit rock bottom and wanted to do nothing but sit in my POD they pulled me out and sat me down and talked. We talked until we had no more energy and i had everything off my chest. They taught me that I can’t and I shouldn’t try to do everything by myself.

 They helped me cope with being away from my little angels. I know that everything I am doing I am doing it for the future of my kids and should be proud that I have earned everything I have the "legal" way. My kids will want for nothing if i have anything do about it.

I also met people on BB that helped me while i was at work. They kept me company and talked to me until i worked their nerves…LOL and i thank them for that.

 I will be home….EXCITING!!! This feeling is better than a slice of double fudge chocolate cake with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream on the side…. [not that i had any recently or anything ]

Well i was doing Lipo6x and i liked it. I like the effects that it had on my body except for one minor problem… I started my cycle two weeks early and then it lasted for 8 days. on the 9th day i started spotting and havent stopped since then (24 days so far). I dont know if this is common for some females who are on dieting supplementsm, but im beginning to think that something is seriously  wrong with me. so Monday i stopped taking it to see if its the cause of it or not. Let me tell you though the withdrawls from Caffiene is a Mutha***** i wanted to cry becuase my head hurt so bad yesterday, i couldnt even get a good workout becuase i was concentrating on my head more than the burn.  Just thought I would get that off the chest.

Yesterday (12 feb 08) was a great day. I worked hard at work and then i went to the gym. That is the main place where i can relieve some stress and have some me time. I drank my full bottle of Redline, which by the way is becoming my bestfriend.  Besides my body feeling like i rolled in a bush of Ivy I had energy out of this world. My workout was legs and i started doing my usual routine:

1. abbducters 10×3 max110

2. adducters 10×3 max 110

3. calves 20×3 max 80

4. squats 15×3 max 105

5. lunges 15×3 max 105

6. leg press 15×3 max 125

but for some reason i thought that i would try to push myself and comet o find out im stronger than i thought:

1. abbducters 10×3 max 145

2. adducters 10×3 max 145

3. calves 20×3 max 100

4. squats 15×3 max 125

5. lunges 15×3 max 125

6. leg press 15×3 max 150

so overall i would say that i had a good day in the gym yesterday. Now I sit and wait for today workout. I’m pretty excited. Does anyone have personal experience when it comes to the topical fat burner? do you like them and would you recommend it?

aight well i have to go back to work now. talk to you soon.

Well today marks a new beginning to my wieght lose and body transfomation. I just recieved my first supply of redline Xtreme (berry Flavor) yesterday. I tried 1/2 the bottle just like the directions stated to make sure my body can handle it. I dont too much care for that taste but thats just becuase I’m a picky person any how. The Redline went down cold and then after a few i started to get hot and had energy. I enjoyed the results in the beginning but then later on in the day I started getting nauseated. Come to find out sardines is not enough to coat your stomach…LOL. Other than that i have no complaints.

I will continue to post throughout the month to give an updated on how its working out for me. Since i have started working out consistantly i have lost a few lbs. I need all the encouragement I can get.

 Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts.
