wanted to share...

Hi Ladies,

So You have all been such a huge support system for me on my fitness journey that I wanted to share some progress with you. As part of my nutrition/training program (which is all online based) i have to send in progress pictures every once in a while. Usually I take them just standing normally...you know the drill front, side, back. This time I sent them over and my trainer and nutritionist were very excited and wanted me to take them as if i was "flexing" at a figure competition and send them again. They wanted me to do this because they said I wasn't able to see the muscle that I had gained and then worked so hard to lose the fat over it. So I humored them and laughed the entire time. I blocked out my face because I was making the most horrid face. So here is my picture. I am feeling proud. I still have lots more that I want to work towards but it was nice to see some of my hard work pay off! I couldnt get the picture to rotate so I apologize that it is sideways. ALso, I hope that you don't think this is weird, you have all been so helpful, I just felt like I wanted to share with all of you. I knw I get really happy when you all post progress pictures!

Thanks ladies!! As far as supplements, I don't take any. I always get a bit weirded out by supplements although I could probably benefit from them. I hesitate from using anything extra in my body...although I use splenda, so maybe I should make a swap! lol

Nutrition- I follow the directions of my nutritionist and track my food daily. I am a little person so my caloric intake is what it would be for a 5 ft, slow metabolic rate woman who is less than 100lbs and I eat pretty low carb. But I eat lots of veggies, chicken, egg whites..you know the "typical" stuff. For breakfast I have two pieces of low carb french toast. I eat turkey burgers (I make them with the extra lean turkey) and I have these yummy lower carb rolls too. I make my own salad dressing which helps as well. I now have one cheat day a week and am growing more comfortable with it!

My workouts are also from a trainer who works with my Dr. I strength train 4 days a week. Some days are more traditional weight workouts and other days are more functional training using TRX cables. I do cardio 5 days a week for between 20-45 minutes each. The days I train, I only do 20 minutes. Off days I do around 40.

I really enjoy fitness and eating right. Some times I wish I coud be a little less rigid with it, but I am working on it!

When I picture the body I want after I'm done with my weight loss journey, you are the perfect example! I want to be lean (but not too lean) and strong with good muscle tone.
