DAMN..I feel Fan-tab-u-lous!!!!
as you can assume, things are going well in my world! i have not had a cheat since new years, its been hard but it feels like all the junk is out of my system!!! after that last cheat, i started eating super duper clean again…not a sip or bite of something i shouldnt! i definately feel soooo much better. during the holidays when i was cheating and binging like a little piggy my weight hovered around 120-122lbs and that was really scary because it was not a lean 120, but just a couple of weeks of a clean diet and i stepped on the scale this morning and was delighted to see 114.6lbs 
my training hasnt changed at all…still lifting heavy and doing light steady state cardio….it is ALL ABOUT DIET!!!!! i didnt drop my calories drasically low or anything, i average about 1700-1800 a day—all clean! the best part is that while yes, i’m having a little bit of trouble fitting in some clothes and yes i am 10lbs heavier than my competition weight…i look THICKER and FULLER—not fatter and thats whats important! i’m definately making good gains and cant wait to cut and see the body i’ve built!
now, yes i am feeling good i do have to bitch for a second about the F*N weather…its sooooo cold here and i really cant stand it 
i hate the winter…i’m counting down the days until spring! my doggies have thick fluffy coats and love playing outside…but i’m not really feelin it!!! i’m hiding inside all weekend except to hit the gym and work up a sweat—oooh and i have a posing class on sunday so i’m excited to get back in the swing of things…but i havent put those damn heels on since october, oh boy here we go again 
i hope everyone can manage to stay warm and those of you that live in a climate 50 degrees and above….YOU SUCK!!! LMFAO!!! dont mind me, my brain is frozen

One could easely be decived into thinkin that extra padding would keep u warm…What would u say if u were up north in Canada??? I walk in short sleaves here in Serbia and ppl want to put me in mental hospital but I tell them its freakin warm compared to where I used to live!!! Good job on staying on track altho u DID cheat(reffer to my last longer PM…LMAO) but at least that cant make u fat!!! Unless proper protection was used…Which wasnt…Anywhoo!!!!!LMAO
I sidetracked there for a breef moment!LOL
I know u rock and I know u consistent and have right mindset and that u gonna step on stage next time much heavier and MORe defined!!
I wouldnt expect nothing less from u!!!
Go and prove me right now!!!
Happy lifting and keep good spirits!!!

You’re 110% right - it IS all diet! And some weights too
I’m a natural fat girl, but when I eat clean 100% and lift, cardio isn’t necessary. People need to realize this more!!

oh i’m with you sister… i have been working out at home more and more because of the weather. i friggin hate this cold crap!!! i am glad that after brayden’s born, i will wait six weeks to return to the weights (i read you can make your muscles heal wrong and end up with some funky looking abs if you do it too soon so i’ll just do cardio at home till then…) but by then the weather should be getting nicer and i can get my bum bum to the gym before my hubby wakes up! i’ve been enjoying this sleeping in crap way too much, but the wakeup call is comming!
i’m so excited for you to be able to say you made it this long with no cheats… i will always remember how hard it got all of a sudden to make it a full week after competitions were over… so rock on to you.. it does feel better… so why we fall off is strange to me, but yet i’m the first to dig into my ice cream once or twice a week! ugh… hopefully i’ll regain some control there too and i can write a blog like this one, "two weeks clean!" hehe…. rock on to you, girl! i can’t wait to see some new pics to see how it’s going for ya!
