Will2B's 2007 Log

Hey girl! I think you can definitely see the difference in your mid-section/core area. You're very lean already at 15-16% bodyfat, so it's going to tough to see significant difference in such a short period of time.

Don't get discouraged, girl, you are definetely leaner and BF is down. Doing them side by side was a good idea, you can see the subtle change.

I'm not discouraged just yet. I'm just going to keep plucking away until I find something that works well for me. I don't think I look any leaner, but I'm glad that someone else thinks so! LOL!!

HI RT! My midsection is my main concern, so I'm glad you can see a difference. It seems like the last couple months progress has been super slow.

Mood/Thoughts:
Okay. I'm going against what I had planned to do. I'm going to start carb cycling. I'll be between 1300 and 2000 calories, two no/low carb days, three medium days, and two high days. This seems like it will work well because I have two medium and one high day on the weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), since I already seem to eat more on those days. Also, cardio-wise, I really want to work on my 5k time... hopefully I'll go from very slow to just moderately slow within a couple weeks.

Soreness:
lower abs, inner thighs... not too sure why these two areas are sore. It could be from sledding last night. I sprinted up the hills after every run down. LOL! Fun times!

Today's Goals:
no goals today

Mood/Thoughts:
Here goes nothing. Hopefully carb cycling will work for me. Today I am meeting for lunch with a friend, and that could possibly bring up some challenges, but I think I'm ready. If they have just vinegar & oil for a dressing, I'll order a salad and be done with it. I want to stay on plan as much as possible. Another challenge will be going to the in-laws this weekend. Thankfully it will be on a high carb day! I'll probably tote along protein powder and oats. I'm about to the point where I don't care if people will think I'm nutso for packing along such items. Woo hoo! Anyways... I had a good run this morning. I actually got to the 3 mile mark faster than I thought I could.

Soreness:

Today's Goals:
* drink lots of water
* stick to plan -- No carbs! (well, really low lol)
* go to Wal-Mart for shampoo, conditioner, and pee pads (damn cats)
* yoga
* take a nice warm relaxing bubble bath

Meal Plan
M1: 1.5 scoops protein powder, multi
M2: went to Texas Roadhouse: grilled chicken salad, no cheese, no croutons, no bacon, (I'll probably keep the eggs, onions, and tomatoes) w/ lettuce and vinegar, peanuts (I'm saying 20... it could be a little more of less)

Wow! Thanks, T-Cake! It really goes to show that sometimes you need other people to point things out to you. LOL!!! I thought the two were almost identical.

A lot more leg definition, and your Booty is lifted to! LOOKING HOT!

Agreed!!! Big time!

And I'm totally with you about photos -- I must have looked at my progress photos the first 5 months and didn't see a darn difference yet Ulter was freaking out happy about my progress...

Magically, one day, I saw my photos and teared up because I finally saw it. Crazy, but true story!
