Practiced posing for an hour today. Didn't care what I looked like to anyone... I went into a well lit room in the gym, put on my hooker heels and walked away. This was my first time walking like that. I can tell how constant practice will really help.
Moderate workout today, some upper body, no cardio
PT in two hours. I will see how that goes and plan my workouts for the next week or so. I am in limbo because I can't start my new Death Circuit plan and I am restricted to machines. I guess I will do circuit training all week, and hopefully once January hits I will be able to start my new plan.
M1 Protein Shake
M2 Protein Bar
M3 Egg Whites/sprinkle cheese
M4 pickle
M5 fish/.50 cup of corn
Feels good to be back on plan with food.

Happy that the holiday food is over. SO HAPPY. Looking forward to it. Really looking forward to working out and eating clean in the AM. Holday food reminds me why I don't want to eat like that anymore.
I have off from work until January 2, I plan to use this time to spend a lot of time organizing my house, goals and spending much needed time at the gym. This should be a nice break.

I have to find a better way to cook chicken. I am the worst chicken cook of the century. I can cook anything but chicken. It's ridiculous! A friend of mine at work offered me a granola bar. I told her that is not on my plan she said it's 100 calories. I said very nice it's not on my plan. She is one person I shared my final goals with at work. I am keeping it quiet otherwise... anyway I said would you like to see my current food plan. So I showed her and now she sees it doesn't fit on my plan LOL. but she did make a comment that it looks like the medifast plan some girls are on at work. Of course I was annoyed. but I kept it in. I can only imagine what medifast is like. Nothing like a BB diet. Blah to medifast!

Every step of this is exciting. I love seeing changes in my body constantly. When summer hits I'll be so close, it's great!
Lisa left a comment about tracking workouts. I agree. it is good to look back and see how I've progressed. I'm on my current plan for the next 9 weeks or so. during that time I will continue to post memorable gym moments for the day but after when I get Sully's new plan I will log it all. I think the plan will be very strict soon. 45 weeks will be here before I know it and I must be ready.
