Ballsy!

[sveta]

I truly is. I failed the last challenge and ran out of excuses. I feel like I need a super goal to really get serious this time around...so here it is. In 6 months I want to go from this:


to this - yeah, I'm THAT shallow



and that's a heck of a goal to me. I've been wanting to be like that all my life, and there was always something, and now, at 35, it feels like it's about frigging time.
I normally fall flat on my face with my eats, and for a transformation like this I'll just have to get it right every time...99% of the time. Brrrr. I'll start with low carb - I usually respond quite well to that - for a month with 1 free meal weekly and then continue with refeeds once a week to see how it goes. I'm an "all or nothing" person- unfortunately! - which means I'll have to completely get rid of non-vegie carbs. I hope to occasionally sneak in a piece of apple and berries but most fruit will need to go for at least a month.
Exercise-wise, I'll do total body 3x week (NROL Fat Loss 1) and low-intensity cardio another 3, with one day of complete rest.
Current stats:

Height	5'4"
Weight	127
Chest	34.3
Waist	27.2
"Tummy"	32.3
Hips	36.6
Right Thigh	21.7
Right Mid thigh	20.9
Left Thigh	21.7
Left Mid thigh	20.5
Right Bicep	11.0
Left Bicep	10.6
Right Calf	14.6
Left Calf	14.6

Let's roll!

Good luck Svet! It may be a lofty goal but I am confident you will surprise yourself and do an amazing job!

Thanks guys!

Did a quick basement workout today - it's amazing how quickly the body un-learns and getting un-used to this stuff.
Deads 2x15x 35#
Step-ups 2x15 bw (on a chair)
DB shoulder press 2x15 10# each
BB bent-over row 2x15 35#

Eats: Protein 97, carbs 56, fat 72, total 1240. Protein source - greek yogurt,powder, shrimp. Went a bit overboard with carbs and fat - had a piece of "low carb" chocolate...How do you guys count it? Supposedly it's just 2g insulin-inducing carbs out of 14 total? Can you actually have it on low carb diets?..Just curious.

I'm probably going into ketosis - no appetite whatsoever. Had to remind myself to eat...or maybe it's too hot outside to be hungry. I get this way when the temp goes over 90...go figure.
P 89, C 46, F 54 (feta, bree, cream cheese, almonds, steak)

My soon to be ex wife did that at 45 so I'm sure you can do it at 35. The biggest thing for her was to weigh and measure her food and to do some form of exercise every day.

Sveta, you don't look to be too far off from your goals. The time is now...get it done!

Yeah...I get bored with tracking very easily and I don't normally weigh food. I know the portion sizes but that's about it. I'm doomed

Thanks Kathy! I probably don't have that much weight to lose but I do have some very stubborn areas that just won't give in.

Eats today: P 129, C 51, F 35, 1056 total.

Really enjoying the day today! Got myself a new pair of running shoes (Brooks Adrenaline's again...) and had a great hour-long run-walk with my DH. I always ran by myself and was surprised that I actually liked having a running partner. Don't know how long it'll last - my DH is a very sporadic exerciser but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

[missjane]

Sounds like an enjoyable run! I'm such a slow runner that nobody can run with me! It's actually harder for them to slow down than it is for me to speed up.

I loved this weekend!.. Yesterday my DH and I went on a long walk in the morning - an hour or so - and then had a family bike ride in the woods in the afternoon...be-a-utiful! Can't even call it a "cardio workout" because I enjoyed it so much.
Eats last week (avg): P 32%, C 17%, F 51%. A little high on fat I guess...The good thing is that I don't have any carb (chocolate )cravings this time around, even with all the walking/running we've been doing lately. Very unusual...
