Well, I am new to bodyspace.  I just completed a 6 week challenge where I starting weightlifting more consistently and eating better.  I lost 16.5 lbs, 19.75 inches and over 5% bodyfat during that time!  woo hoo.  Now I am on a second 6 week cycle where I have to be more consistent about my eating and workouts to see progress!  I travel for work which makes working out a bit of a challenge for a novice.  When I am home I work out with a trainer so that definitely helps. 

My basic meal plan is as follows:

• Breakfast - Egg Beater Veggie Omelet, 1/2 cup cereal
• Lunch - 1/2 chicken breast or small turkey burger, 1/2 sweet potato
• Snack - 1/2 chicken breast of small turkey burger, 1/4 c rice
• Dinner - Tilapia, 1/4 c rice
• Of course I have to throw in a non-fat latte at some point because I just love my STARBUCKS!!!

My exercise plan fluctuates depending on where I am at, but I am trying to get 4 days of weightlifting in alternating chest/tris, back/bis, legs/shoulders.  Depending on the equipment at the hotel I have started at least doing exercises in my room likes sets of 25 squats, lunges, raises, wall pushups, etc… just something to get me going.  At the gym I am doing:

Chest:

• incline db presses
• incline db flies
• incline smith machine presses
• chest press machine

Tris

• straight bar pressdowns
• rope pressdowns
• machine press downs
• db extensions
• skull crushers

Back:

• lat pulldown
• close grip pulldown
• rows
• low row machine

Bis

• db curls
• hammer curls
• barbell curls
• curl machine
• preacher curls

Shoulders

• db side raises
• db front raises
• shrugs

Legs

• leg extensions
• leg curls
• lunges
• seated calf raises
• standing calf raises
• V-squat
• hip abduction / adduction

So this is my plan and now it is time to execute!!! 

Thanks and I will be back soon for updates!  ~Cherie
