long time…
it’s been quite a while since Ive posted… sorry!! not that anyone really reads these…. as for an update, here goes…
so far so good! I’m actually making strides! I’ve started swimming again as my cardio and try to get to the pool at least 3 times a week and then do another day or two of elliptical or treadmill cardio… I’m still lifting the way it says on my profile, four times a week. My back is starting to show improvements as are my shoulders and arms… my abs are very very VERY slowly starting to show something… not yet on the definition but I can feel some of the tightness that I’ve wanted starting to set in…. my legs however are a different story which is why I’m hoping swimming will help… they seem to have gotten bigger instead of smaller, not something i wanted but I’ve been told that it happens usually at first when you’re starting to build your legs… i just want that definition… they can be big, as long as when I’m in my bikini, they look hot! (am I too vain?)
As for food and diet… well, i’ve been pretty good. I tend to slack off in the mornings figuring i can give myself leeway to have a choc chip pancake or a waffle every once in a while as long as its after swimming or i know I’m going to the gym later that day. other than that I’ve been taking in as much protein as I can and I’ve been trying to cut down on carbs a bit… except that I’m not really sure what cutting down on carbs would be and what is completely off limits on those days, any suggestions??

what do you mean nobody reads these? When I’m not training, this is really the only other option..isn’t it? I have sort of a life too:) You look great. Keep it up!

I have read your blogs before but never commented so I’ll correct that mistake now. I love swimming for cardio but living where I do it’s hard to find a place to swim. As far as crbs the best rule of thumb is to just consume lean meats and plenty of veggies. If you’re trying to limit carbs avoid sugar and grains at all cost!!
