Pushing ahead…
I’m pushing ahead. It does feel like an excavation process, a climb, peeling the layers of oneself. I’ve been working at it, slowly but surely. I don’t have it set in stone as far as what day of the week I’m hitting the gym. Five days out of the week sounds good, no pressure and that seems to agree with me for now. I am sore from that darn Firm workout. I didn’t say it doesn’t work, I simply said I felt silly.
Cardio is coming along. Some girlfriends and I are running a relay race come March, I have five weeks to build up my mileage. I’ve started at three miles and will proceed from there. In regards to nutrition, ugh! I’m not a junker, I’m plain finicky. At the moment I don’t like beef, pork, chicken, fish or vegetables. That leaves pasta as the food of choice and I’m not that big on it either. I find the nutrition aspect more difficult than anything else. Suffice it to say, I don’t have much of an appetite. I’m possibly consuming 1000 calories, a little under or possibly slighly over. Protein shakes is the easiest way to get calories in for now, unfortunately, I broke my blender last night. I’ll be taking care of that today.
I have acquiesed and a trainer/co-worker and I are working out legs come Wednesday. I am quite aggitated about it. I like my music and getting lost in my own little head. But, I think I’ve been spending too much time in my own little head! So, I will force myself to stick to it. It’s an opportunity to grow and learn. Happy workouts!

Belle - you have done a marvelous job and have come along way - does the FIRM wo have food advise. I’d say you are not eating enough calories per day, I’d up it to 1300 to 1600.
When you starve yourself the body holds on to unwanted fat. Too bad you don’t like much food, have you tried tuna fish or canned turkey??? maybe adding your fav spice will help.
Be consistent with cardio, weights, and lifting and it will all hapen. The body follows the brain, so try some visualization "loving chicken breasts" etc and it will happen for you.
Good luck and congrats, you have a very beautiful look!!! clc.
