Happy Friday!!

So happy its Friday! Slept in today till 7am!! I know RIGHT?!?! It felt so good to get some good sleep and cuddle time with my man. I haven't been as hungry lately as normal, maybe this carb cycling thing isn't so bad. Still need to get in more WATER...its so hard though. So 6 weeks away from this show and I'm already thinking about the next one ekkk! It's suppose to be the biggest group of girls yet, super exciting! Anyways, procrastinating again at work..ugh I better do something....xx

DAY 47.

What a week! So excited for this weekend and to be able to lay in the sun! Today is a high carb day so I'm feeling goood! Well in comparison to the last few days. I got to make my pancake this morning and that always makes me happy....still learning how to flip the damn thing! Feeling a little anxious about my weight still need to break the 150 pound mark. I'm going to just push super hard these last couple days and try to be under by the 1st. Carb cycling hasn't been that bad, but the 7 days of cardio is kicking my a$$ OMG! Found a suit that I think I'm going to get, maybe in this pink or in a royal blue...hmm decisions.

Pretty cute huh, obviously wouldnt wear this to the beach, but I think its perfect for the comp!

THOUGHTS?

Finishing up work and then off to the gym!!!

Need a BOOST!

Well hello there! I find it hard to keep up sometimes. My food and cardio changed today and I'm a little overwhelmed. Carb cycling plus, 7 days cardio and all the usual stuff...ay yi yi! Anyways, all together I have lost 10 pounds and I need to push it this next month, just eat, sleep...train!!! I should be motivated by the change, but I'm a little sluggish, hopefully some cardio this evening will wake me up. I need to be more diligent with going to bed earlier so I can hit 4:30am workouts instead of this after work bull shit!

Sorry more of a rant today...

Keep you posted!!

Pancakes make me SMILE :-)

So while reading another blog I found this amazing GEM of a recipe...mixing my oats and egg whites to make a PANCAKE! It seriously made me so happy this weekend to eat something different and GOOD! I took my tsp of almond butter and spread it on the top and it was AMAZING! Had my one on one this morning after training and I might start carb-cycling next week even though I have no idea what that entails.

I'm feeling so much better today. I hit cardio hard this weekend and feel my pro-biotic working its magic. I start abs this week too and am adding in a leg day...so that should be fun. I'm such a creature of habit that the diet doesn't really phase me all that much. Especially since I'm seeing some results, it's actually more motivating. This week was great, spent it as usual with my man at the beach. Nice to get some sun on my skin. Well I feel like this is going to be a good week. Can't wait to start bikini shopping!!! Whooo.

DAY 33.

Well I'm 3 days past the one month mark and I have been feeling a little discouraged to be quiet honest. The scale hasn't move a freaking pound, or maybe only a pound...fuggg. I took pictures( which I will post) a month ago and then the other day I took new pictures and maybe I've just stared at them too much but they look freaken identical to me. I find that taking measurements has been better for my mind, but over all pictures tell a THOUSAND words. I never really stated my stats before I started only because I guess I just HATE them but ....

Height: 5'4
Weight: 154, when I started I think I was pushing  160 but didnt want to weigh myself. eekkk.
Body Fat.. 3 weeks ago was 33 percent

I am going to get my probiotic today. I think it will help with some of my digestion issues for sure. I feel good at times and I know its a process but I get so critical of myself and my body that I always want MORE MORE MORE and fast. I need to just relax i guess because I get so stressed over it and I know its effecting my bodies transformation too. I have been good about my diet and cardio ect. Well I cheated for my first time last night and have felt immensely guilty. I had about 1/4 cup of greek yogurt that I shouldn't have had after my dinner and before it was time for my cottage cheese. I'm choosing not to do that again. I want to make sure that I take advantage of ever possible RIGHT choice that I can so that at the end I say I did everything possible.

Things are looking good on the home front for the time being. I'm getting a pedicure and my hair did this weekend so that's exciting and my bf is hustling like crazy to ensure that we make it another month in the crazy expensive town oh and it's Friday ohhh hey!!!

4 Weeks Down!

Wow how time flys! My body fat was actually 33 percent according to the tool that my trainer used, the formula that the Internet uses is a lil off i guess. :-(
Anyways things have been going pretty descent for the most part. I definitely love the way I'm feeling from not eating shitty food all the time. I wouldn't say I lost any weight but maybe on my way to loosing inches instead. I started my period today and normally around this time I am covered head to toe in black but not this month, I don't feel bloated and I didn't give into my sweet tooth cravings. Pat on the back for me there. I am nervous though, i definitely am no where near bikini ready in my eyes so the next two months will tell somethings for sure. Trying to not over analyze it to much and just stick to the program. I haven't cheated beside added a few more berries to my cottage cheese at night and the occasional drop of milk in my coffee in the am. I find that as I start to change and look better its easier to be more strict because you want to see more drastic results. I'm already thinking about the next show and I haven't even gotten through this one yet...lol. Couple more hours off work and then hitting the stair master...ah yi yi!!
