Hi - I'm Johnnysgirl. I've been in pretty decent shape for about 2 years now. I did a lot of weight lifting in high school, let myself go afterards, and then got back into the groove to get my best friend in shape for her wedding. I took my BF friom 33% down to 18%, but not with the healthiest eating habits and 2 hours at the gym every day. Over the past year, I've taken a sedentary desk job 
and have wavered in and out of gym and healthy eating spurts. I'm now ready to be in peak condition and need some help! During the past two years I've been eating very low carb and low fat, but not enough veggies. Right now I'm so sick of being a bit mushy in the middle that I'm not getting enough cals and from reading through this forum, I need to up my diet.
So here's my stats:
Height: 5'3
Weight: 120
BF: Not sure at this moment. I would guess I'm at about 23%, I am very muscular and really only carry the jiggly in my belly pouch. I'll get it checked today.
Goals: I want to be tight and lean and strong, not big, but strong. I hate fat and don't want an abundance of it. I'm incredibly disciplined and will stick to whatever works.
Current Training: I currently do HIIT (I didn't know I was doing it until I looked up what HIIT means!) on the elliptical for 30 - 45 min 3 or 4 times a week and lift 3 times a week for about 45 min.
Current Meal plan:
8:00 am: 4 oz. of plain chicken breast
10:00 am: 1 cup celery
12:00 pm: 4-8 oz of plain chicken breast, 2 tblspoon almonds
2:00 pm: 4 oz. plain chicken breast, 1 cup steamed broccoli
6:00 pm: 4-8 oz. lean meat or chicken, 1 cup steamed spinach
7-10 pm: usually a cocktail or two crystal light and vodka
Is there anyone with a similar build to me or that can offer some advice? I've read Shadow's stuff and will try it, can I replace the protein shakes with chicken?
TIA!
