Cheleh’s Body Transformation

I just got back from my morning workout… and phew! What can I say, I am really feelin it.

I did about 200 Jumprope, 520 Ab-Butterflies, endless Lunges, Chinese Squats, the Hack Squat machine, Hamstring Curls, and Leg Extensions.  I also played racquetball for 25 mins, and did 15 mins on the Stairmaster.  I really should’ve done the Leg Press but my hamstring started cramping up and I had to bail early so my Trainer could stretch em out.

I have 3 weeks until my photoshoot with Anthony R. Lloyd of AlloyOne.  Also planning one with Kevin Terrell around the same time.  They’re both fabulous.  It’s time to get Lean!!!  Here is my meal plan for here on out…

7:30am - Meal 1: 5 scrambled egg whites & .5 cup oatmeal
11:00am - Meal 2: Protein shake
1:00pm - Meal 3: 1 can Plain tuna, corn, & broccoli
3:00pm - Meal 4: Fruit Smoothie 
5:45pm - Meal 5: 6oz Grilled salmon w/ asparagus
7:30pm - Meal 6: Protein shake
9:00pm - Meal 7: 5 scrambled egg whites

I’ve also increased my fat-burning pill intake to 2 a day.  Do it, do it, do it, do it!!!

Alrighty - so it was a big challenge sticking to my diet during the Thanksgiving holiday.  My plans were to eat plain turkey (no gravy) and plain veggies. 

This is what really happened…

I went to three different households.  I had a plate at each location.  I ‘tried’ to lay off the carbs, and did an OK job.  At most I had a spoonful of each carb.  By the third plate (later in the evening) I was down to a dessert size plate.  The good thing about my three stops is that I had a good 2-3 hours in between each sitting, so I was able to keep up with my meal times.  I still had my protein shakes and Lipodrene in the morning.  All in all I did pretty well, just not as ‘clean’ as I would’ve liked.  It’s MUCH harder than I thought it would be.  By Christmas I should have this Holiday eating thing down:-)  I have to look great for the NEW YEAR!!!

I stuck with my workout routine - one thing I’m very happy about.  I got up Friday morning and worked out with my trainer (1-1.5 hrs), then had about an hour of racquetball with Brandie.  This morning I went to the usual spinning class (9:15am) for an hour.  My body feels good again, as if Thanksgiving Dinner never happened, but I’m going to keep pushing this week just to lose those extra calories.

Thanks for reading…  Have a wonderful weekend!!! 

Okay, so I was a little bored today after my morning workout…  LOL  Decided to take some new torso pics.  I can’t wait until I can see my Abs!!!  I’m working hard at it though.  To be continued…! 

Yay!!!  It’s been about 2+ weeks since I started with my personal trainer.  I have been drinking 2 protein (Whey) shakes a day, taking 1 supplement a day (Lipodrene), and eating healthy foods.  The workouts are tough but the results are amazing.  I have consistently trained with him 4x per week.  We alternate body parts of course, and at the end of each session I do 30-55 mins of cardio.  2x a week I take a Spinning (cycling) class.  The instructor really makes you sweat & there is potential to burn up to 500 calories in one sitting.

On a side note, my personal trainer (Marques) is entering Brandie & me in a fitness contest to take place in April of 2007.  I have no idea which competition it is yet.  I will insert more details later:-)  We have a lot of work to do!
