Levidity’s Rants and Raves

well once again my back is ****ed up, over the past 12 years I deal with this about 4 months out of the year. All I want to do is be able to walk again and be able to get back in the gym. My body fat is way up and so is my weight. I am depressed because I have never been this heavy. I just want to get back to competetion shape. But it all depends on my recovery. I have been doing all the BS physical therapy excerises but they arent helping. Any suggestions would be great.

this will be quick because I am tired but I don’t want to miss a day journaling my track to success. Today was pretty great went to the gym in the am and only did cardio 45 mins on eliptical 320cals but ate well all day.

The weather sucks here today so I have been to various dr appts for my back and daughter today so I never made it back to the gym but I am beat. I think with out the Hydroxycut Max I would have crashed hours ago but the extra energy helped especially today.

Best wishes everyone!

So now day 3 training so so. Back is bothering me so I have stuck to cardio and curls and some small chest and shoulder exercises. I have stayed active all day which was nice.

My food intake for yesterday was better than the day before I will post it later. Today I cheated a bit, had a soft taco from damn taco bell, but with no cheese and it wasn’t worth it. Oh well. I posted my before pics and am embarassed as all hell. I am a model, believe or not, but I look at my pics that I had my 6 year old take and compare them to my professional ones and I wish I had photoshop as they do. Plus I am very good at sucking in and holding it for a long time. But I don’t want to do that anymore. I just want to be tight and healthy.

I am doing the MI Novice on March 28th! Whether my body is ready or not. But with the help of the Hydroxycut Max and the NitroTech I think I will be a bit closer to my goal than I would be with out them.

As for the Hydroxycut 7 Day Cleanse, umm its working a bit.

I am down to 116 which is awesome because I haven’t been under 120 in a year! The problem is I still am at 20.5% body fat which is insane. Most people don’t believe that but sadly its true I just hid it well. I carry most of my weight in my hips through thighs sadly it happened around 25 when I apparently became a "woman" funny 5 years after my daughter was born. Oh no I just learned to be lazy around then and nearly 2 years later I have decided I will not live like this anymore. I wanna look like Chickentuna I just don’t wanna feel so unhappy with me I am doing the contest for me and not for money but the competetivness (ps i can’t spell) is a driving force otherwise I think I would fall back to my normal well I have no time excuses. But if I don’t get healthy there will be no worries about time because it will fade much faster.

Best wishes to all!

So I have enter both contest and recieved my items yesterday! So its on now

I have used Hyrdoxycut Hardcore before and I find the women’s formula to be the same so far in affects. I love it though. Its one of the few products I have ever used that I recommend. Although the orignal formula of the Hardcore had some funny side effects.

I’m using Nitro Tech Chocolate again which I love the flavor of. Another product that I could recommend on flavor alone as far as proteins go its pretty great for the money. It is actually the only protein I can mix with water and drink. Since I only use chocolate flavored proteins I usually use milk except with this one.

I am also using Hydroxycut 7 Day Cleanse. Which I am not noticing yet, now on day 2. Other than when I burp it taste like hay, yummy.

My food intake was too low yesterday which kind of blew

I am supposed to be at

1725 for calories

173 g of both protein and carbs this is figured by using the weight I’d like to be at 115 instead of the 122 I am at.

This is from my own calculations using http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hugo29.htm 

Yesterday I had 1236 cals, 123g protein, and only 103 carbs

That wasn’t too great. But I did make it to the gym and did 45 minutes of cardio on the eliptical then only some rows on the machine 3 sets of 8 reps @ 45lbs, and 2 sets of 8 reps of machine curls @ 25 lbs.

My back is still seriously jacked got the results of my MRI I had done this past Sunday and I now have 3 herniated disk instead of the 2 I have been living with for the past 10 almost 11 years. I am hopefully going to be seeing a neuro surgeon soon to (fingers crossed) schedule surgery.

I am doing these contest because I want to show that even if you’re body isn’t in 100% operating condition that you can still make improvments and better your health overall.

I have taken my pictures yesterday and done measurements but I will be posting them later. As they need to be edited a little because my 6 year old took the pictures so some have lots of wall,

As for today I went back to work today which was nice since I have been off for nearly a month. I have not made it to the gym yet. I WILL go tonight to the gym we have at my apartment complex if even to only do cardio. Oh and I did tan yesterday and today. Which is good too. I feel like I am making progress already if only because I will do these contest because I don’t believe I will be able to step on a stage and compete like originally I had planned for 2009.

I will post today’s cal intake and work out tomorrow, hopefully along with some pics
