Today was hard.. A bunch of family issues came up that’s really got me down.. Being the oldest I feel very responsible for everyone.. And I like it that way but sure wasn’t feeling my workout.. Finally gathered up the motivation to work out.. And sooo glad I did.. Hit my legs then did incline walking.. Talked with a friend- I guess life is better now 🙂 had some chicken and gonna sleep.. By the way chicken marinated in pickle juice is fricking amazing! No joke! Try it- you’re welcome!
Decided to carb cycle- going low carb, no carb, high carb- see how I drop- if it is isn’t fast enough of a loss I will add 1 more no carb day! Wish me luck!!
I started shopping for my bikini for competition.. Kind of overwhelming! Firstly it’s online so can’t try it on- then there is a bunch of cuts. Butterfly scrunch, sweetheart, pro booty- what!? Did I mention they are not only crazy tiny BUT expensive? Geez.. I’m going to use suitsyou to order my suit.. Not going to go all blingy- I’m going to get a color I like thinking either red or black and just something that fits well.. Philosophy is if I look good and the suit fits well all the bling doesn’t matter- if I do well in this show then I will “earn” the bikini for a bigger show 🙂 goal is to spend as little as possible but present well 🙂
Practicing to do my own makeup for the bikini competition. Highlight brow with gold, blend with black and dark brown and don’t forget the lashes 🙂
I hit legs really hard and ohhh man I’m feeling it! I wish there was a massage therapist I could ask to help without it being weird! Lol- oh well- hopefully tomorrow I will be feeling better! Gotta get that bikini booty!
Progress pics– the first (embarrassing)is from December – the other 3 are from 3 weeks-2 weeks and then today
I can’t believe it! I’ve never had abs in my LIFE and they’re finally starting to show! I’m very proud! I thought it would never happen! Guess my hard work is paying off! 🙂
I think one of my biggest challenges is learning how to NOT live by the scale.. Funny how ONE piece of equipment can make or break my day.. I started this journey the beginning of December 2012- I wasn’t terribly overweight but I was UNHEALTHY and squishy :p- I also felt horrible! Anyway since then I’ve lost about 7 pounds- not alot considering the diet change and the amount of exercise I have put in…BUT thankfully I took pics and have them to compare because I look so different! I have definition- my body is more compact- I’ve put on lots of lean muscle- so while the scale is not going down alot I’m looking much more lean! So I need to take a deep breath and put the scale away! Once a week weigh ins and comparison pics should be all I’m doing! Anyway- time for some Cardio and tonight chest- it’s a beautiful day in WI!
I love these! They kill fat! They are fast and hard as heck! Try them!
