Paintedgrrl’s Rants and Thoughts

Well, as some of you remember….Wally J challenged me to a fat-loss Smackdown back in late-October….and since then many of you have contacted me wanting to know the outcome….

Well, as you can see…..

I got my BUCKLE!!!!

I won the challenge…I went from 20.4% bodyfat to 13.2% bodyfat…. AND I won it fair and square–not with surgery like Wally J is telling some of you.  No hi-jinks here…just hard ass-busting work in the gym coupled with Lipo 6x….Same as Wally J.

What can I say….I get challenged–I go into kick-ass mode….Oh yeah…and for those of you who really want to know….he wouldn’t part with his precious BUCKLE….I got a brand new one….

In the end though….I got more than a shiny BUCKLE….I got the satisfaction of doing what I said I was going to do…of losing the fat…of getting "tight and right" and  getting Wally J’s attention–He knows this GRRL is more than smack talk!  And at this point….I’d say he will think twice about challenging me to another "competition"!!

Ok, so I am currently doing an awesome dumbell workout that my boyfriend gave me….I love it…really kicks my ass!  Two to three circuits…entire body…15-20 reps—by the end I am completely worn out and sweatin’ like a pig!!

He is working on a new routine that we both will be doing and lemme tell ya…I cannot wait to get it and get started!!!  I really expect to see some major differences in my body.  It is a two month routine…not sure of all the details yet but more information will come later….perhaps.  Hoping to get it this weekend.
Anyway….as I said in my last blog that man of mine is pretty damn awesome–he is right along beside me as we BOTH strive for new levels of fitness… he encourages, motivates, and understands the hard work and dedication that goes into making a major body transformation….I am one damn lucky Painted Grrl!!!!

Let me preface this blog with the statement….I have wanted to use Bodyspace to help other women who are in similar physical condition that I once was. Overweight, over-eating or under-eating for that matter, not active enough, feeling like a change is necessary and desperately hoping there is someone out there who knows what she’s going through and is willing to help. I get requests for help but I also get a lot of nonsense bullsh!t.

So last night I reached a crossroads concerning Bodyspace. For some time now I have been annoyed as shit about the inappropriate messages, invitations to hook up, requests for naughty pics, idiotic comments and general ass-holery that I have been a witness to while a member here.  I proceeded to pull my entire gallery, most of my progress pics and all but three profile pics to choose from. And then I even contacted Richard to ask what I need to do to close my Bodyspace account. Let me just say that I was feeling pretty pissy about the whole day and this frustration just added to my pissiness.

Later in the evening I had a telephone conversation with my boyfriend. He brought up a valid point….I can still be helpful by blogging about my fitness journey….food I eat, workout routine, supplements taken and their benefits and so on… With his encouragement, I have decided to give it another chance and stay a member. His ENCOURAGEMENT is very important to me….I am sticking around to ENCOURAGE others….I don’t need a boyfriend—I ALREADY have a pretty damn amazing one, thank you very much!

Oh, yeah….the answer to the question is…..TO BODYSPACE!
