4 weeks out

May 14, 2009

down to 121lbs and sticking to diet…doing a show in 4 weeks…will update photos soon…just got suit in mail…its very very real now!!!  :)

day 3

March 4, 2009

on day 3 of velocity!! it hasn’t been as tough as i thought is was going to be..guess when you put your mind to something, and stop whining, you just do what ya gotta do to get what ya want… there have been a couple of energy crashes but i’ve pushed through them mentally..i have to get over the need for carbs if i’m gonna get lean.  i picked this cause its the easiest to follow though i’ll probably never want to see a protein shake again after :) i can already tell a difference in how my tummy looks, flatter definately and i just feel better, like i’m cleaning my system out…  no stomach upset so far and cravings are down…  gonna weigh in on sat. morning… started at 134lbs and hoping to make it to 125lbs.

one week till half

February 9, 2009

did 10 miles yesterday…everything hurts…  lol… started new gym last weekend, little grungier than i’m used to but i like seeing different faces, and there seems to be more of a bb atmosphere instead of a bunch of cardio equipment riders ;)   bench went up 10lbs. and overall strength doesn’t seem to be suffering from the running yet… trying to give myself sufficient recovery time between workouts and keeping the weights heavy

6 miles

February 1, 2009

ran 6 miles on this gorgeous day!! first time in awhile its been warm enough for me to venture my training off my treadmill and outside…running outdoors is so much better!! i feel so much more alive ;)   changing gyms tomorrow, its gonna feel weird but i need a new atmosphere and was told the one i’m going to has more of a hardcore bb attitude.  going to talk to a nutrionist this week and thinking about doing a show in chattanooga in june…i hope 4 months is enough time for me to get where i need to be

frustrated..

January 27, 2009

thought i was getting close to the spray tan…i feel like i look better but got on scale today and actually gained…. don’t know what i’m doing wrong….

down 3lbs

January 24, 2009

2 more to go to get that spray tan :) that has been my motivation… heh heh.  I’m going to add a short cardio session at end of each bb workout for aprox. 20 min. and see if that speeds things along.  just did great shoulder/tri routine…and abs…did 100 reps fast… maybe shaking my routine up will help as well… i’m trying to be patient but i just want to lean out so bad… i don’t want to lose muscle so i’m going slow but my first instinct is to just not eat and run for like 3 hrs.  :)   i know better tho plus i’ve worked to hard to let it waste away…

5 miles today

January 18, 2009

long run today … did back and bis at gym…  felt weak when i first got there but picked up momentum after first superset :)   have GOT to pick up some energy drink mix :)   weight goal is not progressing… thought extra cardio would help… don’t know what i’m doin wrong… guess still eatin too much…

6 wide grips unassisted!!

January 17, 2009

pull up goal is getting closer :)   want to do 10 … did shoulders and tri today..felt kinda weak and fat in gym but i think its cause i ran out of pre-workout drink mix…could be in my head but i usually feel better than i did today… did 3miles with speed work on treadmill at home this afternoon… have a 5k comin up on the 28th…  hope it warms up…i hate this cold weather!!
