It's so great to have my own personal cheering section. I can actually picture you all and my family when I am reaching my high points at the gym and think I have to stop! I'm ALL about the mind games...in a really good way. I really use mental visuals to push it. If I zone out and watch the tv I'll have to quit so I'll envison all of you!

Off to the gym now, so I'll come update when I get my DK's down for thier nap. I have a few diet questions.

lololol...exactly! Visualization works. But would it be revealing too much to say I picture myself looking good nakid? lol

Ok, I got back a little while ago. The problem I have is that I'm trying to do my workouts on an empty stomach everyday. If I can't get to the gym early enough, this makes my first real meal lunch.

I have a shake made with no-sugar protein powder and water at 8AM. Am I ripping my self off by not eating solid food earlier? Any thoughts on when to eat my first meal on days I can't do a 5 AM workout?

No, because that's EXACTLY what motivates change. MM69 referred to it as 'manifesting' a like result. You are what you dream

Are you doing a cardio session in the am and wts in the pm? If so, I wouldn't think the later solid meal would be so detrimental following just an aerobics session.

Tatyana or BKM should be able to give you an expert opinion on pushing your first solid meal, after a combined workout routine, to noon on some days.

Good job

I love my new way of working out/eating and it's working! I have been planning out my workouts before hand and following them to the letter.

The main difference is that I can really tell I am losing inches from my hips, my neck looks stronger and I feel really great.

In the past I have rested a lot between sets. Now, instead of doing that, I am just moving the whole time doing 4 exercises and then resting for 90 seconds and repeating this. Right after that I jump on the treadmill for 20 minuets and go at a speed of 4.5 and an incline of 7. Sometimes I have to slow down and bring the incline down or else it kills the front of my shins (?)

Anyway, as of APRIL 1ST, I am embarking on a great training program that is sure to whip me into the best shape I've ever been in! Oh, wait, I AM in the best shape, but even better. More on that later as details develop.

Right now I am feeling a very strong PULL to just keep going and not quit for the next week. It would be so easy to throw in the towel and curl up with some chocolate but I'm staying mentally tough and not gonna cave to temptation of slacking off.

Sounds like you're doing great, CM! I can hardly wait to see your new routine.

Being as mentally prepared as you are, I know you can continue to make fantastic progress.



Happy Easter to you girlie!
