Week 3 Day 7

Today was a free day. I did a 55 minute Billy workout, but I had a piece of chocolate raspberry cake that was DIVINE! I also had a hot pretzel and a med sierra mist, two small pieces of 5* pizza (very small)
I am so bloated it's crazy!
Excited to start Week 4!!!!!!!
I can see some definition in my arms(Did I mention I was blow drying my hair the other day (I had a tank top on) and I noticed in the mirror I had some definition in my arms. I was so excited! Seriously EXCITED!!!!!!), and my stomach feels tighter. I put on a pair of pants that are usually really hard to button. Now when I say hard to button I usually can button them, but I might shoot someones eye out across the room if I exhale hard enough. Typically I run to the bathroom and wet the thights and butt of my pants so that they will relax enough to fit the thunder and the wide parts. I didn't have to ask anyone to wear eye protection, and I didn't have to wet the thighs and butt! That is an accomplishment. So at the end of Week 4 I will post my before pictures (they are bad) and I will post week 4 pictures and measurements.
I think Uptown is also enjoying the challenge...  the more in shape I get the more I actually want sex, so another bonus!
So I have been reading the bodyforlifeforums and they have great advice and support! I also followed a link to a website for women body building tips...
The Female training bible
Lots of good tips!
I am still working on getting some more weights, as the three lb weights I am now using during my Full Throttle workout.
I saw a set at Walmart, but I am wondering if it is worth it. I wish I could join a gym, but I am broke.. beyond broke.
ok it's 1 AM and I have an early morning. I wish I could get to bed earlier, to get up earlier.. to maximize my workouts! ugh I HAVE to work on this!
Week 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 3 Day 5

I found some EAS soy protein powder cheap! Yay! I have started running in place, or around my house for my cardio. Now I LOVE Billy, but I also love running. So I am alternating. I did an upper body workout tonight and it went well. I have to get a different set of weights. Right now I only have 3lbs, 5lbs, and 8lbs. I did pushups, and dips to change it up a bit, and wow I loved doing those. My arms feel like jelly.. and I like it! I have almost made it 1/3 of the way through the challenge. I was thinking of taking pictures on Sunday, but now I am thinking maybe I will wait until I complete week 4.

I want to take pictures and SEE a difference. I want that visible change to push me further. I have to say I am loving how I am feeling, and am so sad I didn't start sooner.

I did cheat a bit tonight. I had a slice of pizza, but I think I missed a couple of meals... so does that count? lol I had some guacamole and holy cow it was GOOD! I think I need to make some guac!

Off to bed.. cardio tomorrow.... Billy.. Here I come!

blech

So I tried to keep track of my intake today. I am at 1293 calories 125g protein and 121g carbs

What does this mean? I have NO clue!
I am thinking I might need more food?

My upper body workout today was not what I needed it to be, I need to figure out how to increase my weights.. without buying more weights.

Any suggestions?

ok it's officially day 2 week 3 I need to go to bed.
night

Week 3 Day 1

Fail on the 6AM workout. lol I had a almond mocha protein shake for breakfast and for my AM snack it's 4 eggs scrambled with 1/2 string cheese on a pita. today feels better than yesterday!
I'm getting back on track after yesterday. Maybe I'll start scheduling a free meal on my free days instead of an all out gorge fest!
On with my day...

Free Day

So Week 2 Day 7, it was my free day. ugh! I was liberal. I ate. I had a lemon cupcake with cream cheese frosting for breakfast, blueberry pancake and scrambled eggs for lunch, a small bite sized snickers bar, I made my knockoff 5* pizza (which was AMAZING) I had about half of the pie, and a small chocolate chip mint ice cream. I am vloated and feel gross. Bring on Week 3 Day 1 please. I have fallen behind on the last couple of days. I assure you I have been staying on track and my workouts make me feel wonderful. Tomorrow is an upper body workout, and I look forward to it. I plan to get up early and start doig morning workouts as it is suppose to be more effective. I usually do my workouts around 10:00 pm, as that is when everyone is usually asleep. 6am I am still a zombie, 10pm I am excited to work out. Tomorrow I will attempt a 6am workout. Wish me luck!
I am excited to weight myself. Before today I was feeling great! Now I feel full, and gross. I understand the point of a free day. Last sunday I ate a couple of extra things, but didn't over do it, today I did. I am waiting until Week 4 to take another set of pictures and weigh myself.

Soon I will make a date to shop for wedding dresses. My goal is to look like a rockstar in my wedding dress.
