T-Cake's 2006 Log

[T-Cake]

You crack me up! Let me know how to apply to be a member! And let me guess....all events will be catered by Panera

Niiiice leg workout....I'm actually bummed that I'm not feeling sore on my end. Thought I worked out my legs hard with a 5x8 routine last night, but apparently not hard enough. Will have to take pointers from you, Ms T-Cake.

Btw, saw an article in the new Self mag written by a formerly large person who has lost a lot of weight. Thought of you since it reasonated with so much of what you say here. You should check it out if you can!

The January issue of SELF? I love that mag! I subscribed to Shape this year instead, but both are quality.

Oh and there is a LIFETIME movie (no joke!) on Jan. 8th called "My Life as a Fat Girl". I plan to TiVo it. My stepmom is a LMN junkie, so I saw the commercial for it and I'm goin' for it!

SBT -- Yeah... I forgot to mention the stairmill. Good call. I did do 30 minutes on that sucker after my lifting -- my legs were so dead! I set the timer for 40 minutes but crapped out at 30 -- rare for me, but it was hurtin'!

God I am so fucking proud of you for continuing with the Good Mornings. I remember how the bar was hard at first....

Thank you for stopping by the house and seeing Ben. He really loved you. You made my day. Michelle as you can tell was very excited too....I wish she would have been able to hang out with you when you still lived out here. Oh well, guess we will have to visit some more.

I am going to try and make the Arnold, but money is the issue right now. If we can find a place to stay cheap we just might make the trek.

Again, thank you for stopping by....I am just glad you didn't get into a wreck with that boat you were driving...

I was so glad to come see y'all anyway, it was a good time. I really hope you two make it to the Arnold -- it's really NOT that far! I just imagine it like a drive to Cedar Point and back in a day. You could totally do it! And yes, that car was HUGE -- my best friend and I started calling it the Love Boat because it was like driving a damn cruise ship... except no 24 hour buffet! Also, thanks for the kudos with the GMs... I was maxing out at bar+50# before surgery... but I HAD to drop the weight to get my core back up to par recently. I want to have good form, you know! Someone taught me that!

Ok I'm about to get my new comparison photos up! You all are going to want to see this...

And ground rules and application process are still underway for the CKC!

New comparison photos taken today 12/28/06

Weight: 160ish?
Height: 5'5"
Total lbs lost: ~110 total -- 30 of them being this year in 2006
Body Fat %: No idea... Wish I had someone to do that for me!

You'll have to flip back a few pages in my log to see the last side by side shots I posted back in, like, July of this year.

Feedback welcome. Yes, you'll see marks from my aug... yes, I have a 4-pack starting to come out... and I just am SO proud of myself.

No -- I still can't believe that's me.

Goodnight!

Thanks, hun. That means a lot to me.

Wohoo! And so excited to meet you at the Arnold

Me too! I haven't met too many girls from the board, except GG, so this is going to be really fun for me!

Look at you... are you just thrilled to SEE those pictures Tcake? It's like you peeled yourself OUT of your shell, yes, physically too. Wow, I am SO proud of you. I cannot even put into words your accomplishments. I know what it feels like to sit in a state of amazement when people tell you such things, and sing your praises... seems kind of surreal at times like "this is really for me???"

Your dedication is awesome ... simply AWESOME. Be very proud of yourself and in times when your mind goes back to the 'old' days... erase those thought patterns b/c THAT girl is now a grown beautiful women that spreads such happiness & motivation you need not waste any negative energy on old habits ...

Easier said than done? Sure, but look at everything you've done then ask yourself again how hard it is really ...

Front and Side BEFORE Photo = Feb. 17 (2 weeks into training via Ulter's advice)
Front and Side AFTER Photo = June 5 (yes, I need new pictures -- I'm about 6 lbs lighter NOW)​

Back Comparison = March 30th vs. June 5th -- didn't take back shots until much later.​

OK, that is by far the hardest thing I've ever posted on here... and I will probably yank them off at some point. I have BEFORE (like at 260) photos somewhere on this thread I think... or on my website which I have linked in my profile... but this is what I have accomplished since February. Thank you for looking.

Here you go for comparison now I'll put my remarks in another post

GREAT JOB!!!
Arms look bigger and more 'toned', abs and obliques coming out, delts coming out, upper legs look more 'toned', and your chest looks much bigger Definitely less fat around the mid-section, and hips look slimmer.

You are looking fantastic girlie!!!
