CONFESSIONS OF A BB HOPEFUL

want to say how much i’m inspired by all the people on this site… my impatience often leaves me feeling like i’m not accomplishing much but i have to remember i’ve only been seriously lifting for about 2 months now… i can see those baby muscles forming but i’m having to re-learn how to nourish my body to keep up with demands of building a better body… i just keep looking at all the amazing transformations and i have to know that with all this hard work, my payoff will also be great…

on my third day of rest and feeling much better… my mood has improved considerably (my hubby is probably thankful too, hee hee )… now i understand why you can’t keep pushing yourself and expect to have continuing gains…my body was crying for recovery time!! i was itching to go to the gym today, but i’m listening to all the great advice from more experienced bodybuilders… i’m expecting to have a great week in the gym… can’t wait till monday  

two really bad workouts in a row… taking two days off, i think i’m overtrained… tired and cranky… diet is better though… stopping creatine for a couple of weeks… hate that bloated feeling but like the gains…. lost a pound, 3 more to go    bodyfat test results back, 16.4%… i’m ok with that, 14% goal doesn’t seem so far away…  reducing carbs is hard!! i could eat a whole loaf of bread

starting a new job has stolen my focus…  my training is on track, consistant, my body is definately changing… nutrition is where i need motivation and will…  i’m not eating badly, just too much…  moving from endurance training to bodybuilding is hard!!  trying to make sure i get enough protien, but i’m adding other unneeded calories along with that… starting a journal today to keep up with everything i’m consuming…  i think i’m used to eating alot of carbs to sustain my running, but those aren’t necessary when you’re not MOVING
