Well it is officially over. I posted my final bulking workout to Alan last night just before I went to bed. I did 16 weeks of his ridiculous you-looked-like-an-athlete-so-I-thought-Id-challenge-you workouts. (This phrase btw was his reply to me at the beginning when I asked him if he was fucking insane for designing the workouts he did for me) During this time I gained around 11 lbs under his care and a total of 17 lbs. I know that 5 of that is water (stuff) and I am hoping that 7 is LBM. If I am correct I will only have to diet down 5 or so fat lbs to get to where I was in BF% when I was 118lbs. That would be so bad-ass! Of course we will never know until the cut reveils what the athlete and coach team has really done. We should know by early May what we have done.

The counter and sales girls at the gym all congratulated me on the completion of this goal (they are all following along and watching me grow). They took pictures for me to be able to look back on at a later date. I would post them but I can't find the chord for my camera. LOL!

Today started my rest week. It could not happened at a better time for me. Besides these very intense workouts from Mr Aragon, I recently became a trainer and got very busy with this new part of my life. In addition to starting a few of my own clients, the past 7 weeks I have been training a dear friend's clients for him while he was gone and unable to do this for himself. He is back now and I can relax finally. It was very intense and my confidence was shaken a lot but I somehow managed it. I got confirmation last week that he did not lose even one client through this extended absence! And finally my job at Intel got just super intense so I had to kick it up there too. Schedules are slipping, parts are missing, Mommy I need this, etc, etc... I was firing on all cylinders for long periods of the day throughout the past 8 weeks and some days I was not sure I had the energy to go on. But I somehow did.... Today, I feel a great sense of accomplishment on all fronts. There is still much work to do in all of these areas, but today I take a rest and enjoy the little things in life....

Okay I did not technically rest at all today. I was up at 4:00AM for a flight to CA. 7 hours of high pressure meetings and a flight back to OR. In my car at 6:30PM and eating pad thai by 7:00PM. Practice the guitar and now it is seriously time for a rest. LOL!
