Hi Shorty! Hope you had a good holiday!

thank you! I did.



OK. I got my sat connection up and running - so now I'm connected to the interwebs. Here are the pics Shadow wanted me to take from my vacation workouts. These pics are after every workout, in order from the first to the last. I missed a pic from day 3 - the batteries in my camera died. Some of the pics came out dark, so I adjusted the contrast so you could see them better. this made them orange. lol

I can't really tell a big difference in any of them - other than that I'm holding a lot of fat in my lower back and butt. I was going to take a pic of me this morning, but batteries are dead again. oi.

How long have you been working out to build muscle?

going on 7 years now. 4 years of serious training.



now would be a good time to bring up some things - (thank you for reminding me )

I've been getting a lot of PM's from women asking me about my abs and how lean I am and how lucky I am.

I want everyone to know that it took me a full year of cutting - VERY FEW CHEAT MEALS IN 2006 - to get to the BF I am now. Lots of women on this board have done it in 16 weeks or less, but they've done it for competition or photo shoots with a STRICT diet they cannot live on year round.

I did not run a comp diet all year, but I did diet - I gave up donuts and cake and other really good tasting stuff, at least on a regular basis. I trained at least 5 days a week ALL YEAR. The kicker here is that I did VERY LITTLE CARDIO. If I did do cardio, it was mixed with weight training or power moves like kickboxing, or THE FIRM workout tapes. I sometimes did cardio after workouts, and it was HIIT for 30 minutes. I maybe did this twice a week if I was feeling like it.

I've followed The-Shadow-40-30-30 for the most part. I messed around a little with low carb and carb cycling, but the 40-30-30 worked best for me.


I guess what I'm trying to convey is that cardio is not the only answer, and that long term results come from long term commitments. I've built a lot of muscle, and that muscle needs more calories to maintain itself. By feeding my muscles the right kind of food, I am able to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, WITHOUT tons of cardio.

I don't hate cardio, btw. I know that it's good for me and will excellerate my fat loss. I just think that most women grossy over do it, and also starve themselves at the same time.

ok. I think I'm done. lolol I'm starting my cardio this week as part of my COMPETITION TRAINING. So - if you see a butt load of cardio recorded in my log soon, it's because I'm competing.
