Going strong so far for my first week of cutting!
My diet has been 100% and so have my workouts. I LOVE going to the gym! I look forward to it and can’t wait to see how much more i can up the weights. Today was shoulders and i did pretty good, but thought i could have gone heavier on the arnold presses (just started doing this today to mix up my workout). I love seeing my delts in the mirror when i’m working them hard! Now only if they would show really good when i’m not flexing or working out. One day! Gotta be patient. I got in all my supplements and eating is right on! I’m currently at around 1600 calories so i’m assuming i can still build some muscle. I get in around 100-125 grams of carbs and around 185 grams of protein. Thats what my trainer recommended for me, so i’m doing it. Now i find that a lot of times, i’m hungry even after eating my meal and it mostly happens during the evening. I’m hanging in there though, maybe my body is asking for more food from the hard workouts? My sis is on a similar plan and she is not hungry at all so not sure what is going on, she is a little smaller than me too. Finished off my workout doing pushups, not the girly ones neither. So my plan is to do some plyo work after my leg days and on upper body days i will finish off with either some regular pushups or some plyo pushups (tried these the other day and they are a bitch!). I also sometimes add in a bit of jump roping in between the plyos. Tomorrow i will be 11 weeks out! I WILL SURVIVE!

Good job Sandra in hanging in there. Keep it up…you upperbody will finally have to give in and then you will look even better…if that is even possible.
Stay strong…and keep the eats clean.
Today was a better day, although I had to fight for every positive thought lingering deep in my sub-conscience. I am 30 min out from eating meal 5 and then off to bed for the night…I find that lack of sleep and PMS do not mix! I need to sleep, I think that is what has been behind all of my wild thoughts lately.
