So I have seen some great progress so far, in the mirror.  I’ve dropped my calories to 1500 a day and I’ve been hitting the cardio every day after weight training for 30-60 minutes and I have seen the definition and weight come off!  The weight has been slow, which is expected, the definition has been fast and  I think that is in large part due to the fact that I have dropped my starchy carbs to under 100 a day.  What is really frustrating to me is that my body fat percentage has NOT changed!  I’ve worked really hard in the gym, I can see the backs of my legs firming up, my quads look amazing, my stomach (lower) is flattening out, and those are all the areas I store my fat.  However, my cheap scale still says 22% and since I don’t believe it, I took my measurements this morning and  THEY HAVEN’T BUDGED EITHER!  I only lost a little bit where I dont’ want to lose it; in my boobs!  I have a negative chest anyway!

I’ve been getting lots of healthy fats in my diet and because of that I’ve had lots of energy, which has been great.  I mean, take a look at my fitday log and see what you think.  Any suggestions on what I’m not doing correctly?  I’m taking today off because I’m afraid I’m going to get into over training (my resting heart rate has started to climb and my left leg feels kinda twingy when I do cardio), so my experiment of today was to try to keep my calories around 1300 instead of 1500.

I feel like I"m on the right path, but where are my results?!?  Is the glutamine and creatine holding me back?  Would that even have anything to do with it?  At least I like what I"m seeing in the mirror.  I’m so proud of my legs.   I’ll post some pictures as soon as I take some!
