Week#2 Mission Accomplished using SteveP78’s Plan
I had an excellent 2nd week with my new routine.
The leg and ab routines are INSANE.
I have remained consistent, strong and focused and am giving it 110%
My cardio has been cut down to four 20 minute HIT sessions each week and that has taken me some time getting used to it. Almost feels like I am not getting enough of it. I love doing cardio and for me doing six 45 minute hit classes each week was tough to give up. But since I’ve lost all the weight that I want to lose I have made the adjustment to doing less cardio. I know it’s for my own good and I have complete trust in the knowledge of my trainer Stevep78.
The diet is going very well and I have remained consistent with it. Gained 2 pounds but my body fat has remained the same at 12 to 12.5%. I have noticed new veins popping out on my calves and thighs. I never knew they were there before.
I plan on attending the 2010 Arnold classic again in Ohio and I am making that my goal to have my muscle mass and be cut for it. It is a realistic and reasonable goal and keeps my focus strong.
So far my new plan seems to be working and working well. It’s really cool to see the great changes and it is a wonderful pay off for what I am putting into it. I can state with a good degree of certainty that I am definitely hooked on this. In the 18 months as a member of bb.com it is sad that many of my friends here have come and gone.
This isn’t a phase in my life it is a PART of my life.
I am ready to attack week #3 with a vengeance.
Each day is a victory!

Can you help me please. I also love cardio training and am trying to lose bodyfat. I currently have started doing HIIT training 5 days a week at a moderate pace on my treadmill and its only been 2 weeks but Im starting to feel great. Should I continue my HIIT daily or split it up. So far so good, besides a few shin splints, but I have that under control now. Im a BIG guy, but I love to run, ok jog. What do you recommend?

Good work with the cardio- thats how I lost 106 pounds by doing cardio, cardio, cardio!
MY advice to you is to keep doing the cardio but SWITCH MACHINES so that your body does not get accustomed to your treadmill.
I hit a bad slump when I was doing HIT cycling and did that 6 days each week. I got used to it and completely stopped losing weight. Once I switched over to the stepper, I started losing again. Now i switch machines each time I do cardio and so far, so good!
Keep up the great work and keep me posted!
