Roxy, I know exactly how you feel chica.

There's some fierce competition.. but the one thing I keep going back to is that I'm doing this for me. When I talked to Nate about sponsoring, I told him with or without him I'm doing this for myself, I had a plan to really change my body this year, and having my name along with NTBM would only motivate me more.. to represent him when I feel like I can't do it myself.

It's tough.. cause I'm actually up in weight too, and it kind of gets me.. but at the same time, the misses and myself are noticing a lot of muscle gain, which will help lose the fat in the future, like Zed said. I expected to gain more weight than lose it at first just because it's been a while since I've seriously lifted weights to put on muscle.

2 more months seems quick, but for the body to shed fat it doesn't take long! I think its either 2 or 4 pounds of muscle burns another 200 calories a day, which would be like walking for 30 mins! HOLY COW! So keep lifting those weights aggressively and watch the recomp happen! Screw weight, it's measurements and the mirror that count.

Thanks for the comments Badar. I really appreciate it! It's a good way to look at it and I know we have come from similar places so you understand the mind game that comes from the scale at times. Keep working hard..you're rocking it!

Thanks Rick and Shibs! and of course, Zed!

Today was a double cardio day...2 45 min sessions. One on the elliptical and the other a walking/ jogging interval mix. I'm pretty bagged tonight and it's freakin cold here again, so that just makes everyone want to hibernate. Going down to -30 plus wind chill tonight. Gotta love it!

One more day till the LONG weekend!! Hooray! We have been so busy at work and I can't wait to have a full 3 days off!!

Monday is a stat holiday here and I'm not gonna lie...I can't wait! This work day can not be over fast enough! I work in a child psych unit and we have been so busy lately!! I have been running back and forth from the ER like crazy! It's really interrupting my EF time!

I did not get up this morning for fasted cardio but will be in the gym tonight to train! I needed that extra sleep.

Have a great Friday everyone! Diet changes tomorrow!

Re: 84 Days...T Contest Log

Well...Friday ended as a bit of a gong show! LOL I worked a bit late and ended up caught in the middle of a scuffle on the unit and took a really hard boot to the leg by one of our psychotic patients. It sounds worse then it was but I do have a sore leg. I already had some sore spots and this just sealed the deal!! So..I ended up taking the day as a rest day. By the time I got home, it was a 12 hour day and I was exhausted. Never a dull moment.

Saturday, Feb 19th

I hit the gym this morning and it was one of those workouts where you're 5 minutes in and you can hardly keep your eyes open. I almost just stopped and went home and back to bed but I pushed through.

I changed my program around a bit today. I should have been doing deadlifts and I swapped them out for another exercise. My one quad is really sore so I wanted to give it one more day.

Warm up was 10 mins on the treadmill. I did 5 mins of walking and 5 mins of jogging. HR was between 135 and 140.

Bench Press

30 lbs - 10
40 lbs - 10
40 lbs - 8
*no increase in weight but more reps at the heavier weight.

Overhead DB Press
20 lbs - 10
22.5 lbs - 10
25 lbs - 10
*overall increase!

Upright BBL rows

50 lbs - 10
50 lbs - 10
50 lbs - 10
*overall increase

Abs
3 sets of 10 with 25 lbs plate/ incline
*These I really focused on slow movement, so 4 count going down and 2 count coming back up. Burnage!

I only did 10 mins of post workout cardio on the elliptical. I felt thrashed and really struggled to get through the 10 mins.

I came home, had some food and slept for another 3 hours. One of those sleeps where you wake up and aren't sure where you are or what time it is!

I'm doing my update and then on my way to find some caffeine. My household stashes are low and by low, I mean out!! I am an addict and God knows I don't need any help at being moody!

The diet changed today. I'll get some more details up later this evening.
