the journey begins (PB is the devil!!!)
today i met with my trainer for the first time. he’s making some changes to my current workout split and diet. i am now going to be doing a 3 on 1 off split which gives me 2 days off each week, unlike now where i only have 1. also, not much of a surprise to me…he wants me to lighten the cardio load a bit. to get ready for my photo shoot, i have been doing 45min 6x a week…needless to say, he thinks that a bit much 
so far the only change to my diet would be to add in a few more complex carbs. my calories have been pretty low (1400) along with all the cardio to get as lean as i am right now, so adding the extra carbs will bump them up a little. with the increase in carbs and decrease in cardio, i am expecting to see the scale begin to creep up 
i’ll just keep tellin myself that its muscle…right now my weight is between 105-110lbs, while i LOVE seeing my abs…i know that if i want to compete i need to put on a little bit more muscle. hopefully i can do it and still stay lean 
as for the subtitle to this blog…i decided to do a little baking tonight to show other people how food can taste good and be good for you! i found a great recipe here for peanut butter protein cookies…yummy! well, now i remember why i dont allow peanut butter in my house~~after making the dough, i could not help myself and finished off the rest of the jar!!! there was just no stopping me…i was a woman possessed!!! after my cookies were all done, i had to try one…or was it 2??? how about i ate so many…i lost count so i went from eating 1400 calories—to over 2000 in about 1 hour! i now feel like crap, my tummy is so bloated…no abs here~~hopefully they’ll be back when i wake up tomarrow :p
i like to look at the positive side of things, maybe my calories have been too low for too long and my body was starving and craving more food! i start my new program on sunday, i am putting 110% faith in my trainer and hopefully i am on my way—i’m just going to have to keep that damn peanut butter out of the house!!!
im off for an exciting friday night—watching my phillies take on the astros, and hoping the freaking marlins and braves get knocked around tonight…the mets at this point are just a joke! lots of channel changing ahead for my night—hope everyone has as much fun as i do

I’ve been trying to diet and I have had a few incidents where I had to chow down on some PB late at night. It is to tempting to keep in the house.

Yum! You should post that recipe! I LOVE PB anything!
And yes, I do tend to indulge (a little too much) on PB! Mm-mm good!
