Pictures from my 'test' shoot. My ass is fat. lololol

[the-short-one]

I have shin problems - this is the only thing worrying me. I did 40 minutes in the treadmill on Sunday (in good, expensive nike running shoes) and yesterday and today they're singing a little. I have a feeling an hour or 2 a day will cripple me, but HIIT pounds them, to. Walking is better, but it still creates some pain. I ran track and cross country in high school and my shins still haunt me..

I don't know what to do other than push through it. Jeff says that I should wrap them when I run or walk - that it might help. I actually prefer doing steady state cardio because I like it better. I get into a zone and can easily do and hour or more. HIIT has produces results for me, but I have to admit it sucks.





p.s. - I know I could do the eliptical or the bike, even though I don't really like them. What I like and what I have to do are not always the same thing.

Cardio is a hard thing - but its the consistency in it again. If you are able to start at maybe 20 min 2x/day or something and increase. Like I said u need to find out what you can do and what works - but generally if you are looking to cut a layer above what you are doihg now it takes adding in that extra degree & consistency.

SUCK IT UP ! Girl no running on or treadmill HIIT especially if you have shin issues ...

IMO 2-3 X HIIT would be ok with 1-2 days of steady state, but I never cut for a BB show .. tweak as needed if you are/aren't seeing results.

I've always been an elliptical girl but just in the passed couple of months started steady on the tread. I've also always gotten shin splints EASILY. It took me about 5 weeks of walking before they stopped hurting. I would start at an incline of 10 and 3.5 mph. I can start at a full incline now and it doesn't phase me. Just ease into it.

You could always do 15-30 min on the elliptical and then the remaining time on the treadmill.

wait, did you say fat?

wait, did you say fat?

yeah, and I'd take it back if I could. I was refering to the padding on my ass, but everyone just assumed I was saying I was fat.




Oh, God. That reminds me of something horrible that I thought today. (God, please forgive me...) I was buying lunch for my work crew today and while waiting, a couple walked in and the woman was so SKINNY. I mean disturbingly skinny. I wasn't really focused on her - I was focusing inward and concentrating on the sucess of the fat loss off my legs and butt. I was thinking "I'd really love to see seperation in my legs", or something like that and focused on this woman's legs. She was so skinny that you could see every vain and every muscle in her legs - but not in a good way. She looked like someone on drugs...

Anyway, the first thought that popped into my head when I saw her legs was "that's what I need" ...and then I focused on the whole body and almost had a heart attack. I immediately felt horrible for staring at her, and then I felt horrible for admiring the seperation in her legs. lololol.


PLEASE - no one take this the wrong way. I DON'T want to look like that. Good Lord. I just wasn't really taking a good look and have been so fucused on my goal the past few days. Holy . ( I stare at everyone's legs. )

Anyway, I've been feeling really bad about this and had to confess. I feel better now.

I had a similar moment this past summer ... except my focus was ABOVE the waistline, my arms, specifically. I'd been particularly focused on them trying to decide whether they were fat or whether it was my triceps (I eventually came to the conclusion that you can't flex fat ...) but I was sitting in the car in a convenience store gas station and this girl pulled up in the pump next to us ... I kid you not, I could have taken my thumb and index finger and almost gone around her upper arm and TOUCHED!

I just couldn't understand anyone being THAT skinny, still can't. Even when I had an eating disorder I NEVER got that skinny.

Funny, you look at other women's legs, I look at other women's arms

I look at everything. I'm a people watcher. I could spend all day sitting somewhere crowded and watching the people go by. Well, maybe one day all day...not every day. lol Human nature fascinates me.
