Heehee - I dont' want to maintain there. I am just the type of person that loves challenges and I would love to accomplish it and say I did it - sort of prove it to myself! As I realize it is not healthy to maintain, I would come up to about 12-14% for maintenance!

IP ... I don't compete & I maintained that pretty easily until I decided to move, bulk, etc... Fitness Models can be like that year round as well, they get paid to do that. If that's what you want, it CAN be achieved healthily b/c I speak from personal experience... ALOT of trial & error & tweaking this to fit what works for you... Keep in mind, 10% bf to me, would NOT be the same for you ... I wouldn't worry about that number, but rather what you look like, how you want to look, and be happy with your appearance.

It was a challenge, what I wanted to do, and I did it VERY well ... My $.02

Your goal is 1100 calories by supper, young lady.

You'll have to be "punished" tonight.

LOL you two

Hey sweet lady

 

[iceprincess]

Thanks Treil - I am actually a contractor and not in the military. I have been eating very clean now since I got back from my R&R (tomorrow is cheat meal though!!). I do work at a computer and I eat about 4-5 of my 6 meals at the computer - hehee! I am confined to base, so I can't leave. I would rather do more cardio then have to drop my cals, considering there isn't much room for them to go down, so that is my plan for now. I will take it one step at a time, eat clean, workout hard and see where I end up. Nelms and I are hoping to be home in time for your show...we are really excited about it (though no promises yet)

SO…I got to talking to my grandma last night, for the first time since we left for our trip, and both Nelmsjer and I missed dinner. We raided my fridge at work (I had 2 pieces of left over chicken with a few not so fresh veggies) and then we raided the what we had in our room (which isn’t a ton). So below is my dinner that I concocted with preciseness.

Ma'am, for your own good, I'm going to have to ask you to put down the peanut butter. Please back away slowly, and no one will get hurt.

Hey sweet lady

Hey woman!

Ah...gotcha, Ice. I say go for it. What fun is life if we never challenge ourselves?

Bunny...how the hell did you maintain that? I can only dream...hehe. And what made you decide that you didn't want to be so lean and bulk instead?

GOOD JOB staying on top of here (Yes I KNOW both figuratively & literally speaking ... )

Bunny...how the hell did you maintain that? I can only dream...hehe. And what made you decide that you didn't want to be so lean and bulk instead?

I want to clarify that by no means is it an easy task & something you have to tweak until you can MAKE it work for you... my log is so long for a reason & it's all in there somewhere ... lol I'd have to go back & see what I was doing, eat, training, etc ... but a lot of trial & error and being in tune with you body ... I really feel I knew what to do, when to do it, how much of this, that the other, etc ...

There were several factors that made me want to put on more size Plus my body needed a refeed, a nice big dirty one ... I'll explain it all some day
