Burned out the biceps and triceps today and I have to say they were looking pretty jacked (aka Defined). I am starting to notice daily cuts and muscles pop that I'm not sure I knew I had on this body. It's hard not to stare at myself in the mirror which is something I try to avoid at home and at gym. As I've mentioned before, I become obsessive if I see something off/different/unattractive, causing me to obsess on it until I exhaust/anger myself. Hence, I don't own a scale because I don't want my internal definition to be a number which is exactly what I would do to myself almost subconsciously. It's also really encouraging to hear that people are noticing my change. I was actually called a "Skinny Bitch" today by another trainer Jeremy, which he quickly corrected himself and said I was a "Fit Bitch"!! Now most people would not take this as a term of endearment but this is how we all encourage and compliment each other in my world. I proceeded to finish off my day with an hour and half hill walk with my neighbor Dawn and then a quick but powerful kickboxing class.
Me and Jeremy Showing Our Tickets to the Gun Show!Today's biggest issue has been my ever nagging sweet tooth. I stayed on my diet all day but did nibble on a chocolate protein bar which isn't on the menu. I probably consumed 1/4 of it but it's still cheating. Is anyone getting curious if I will follow the diet ounce by ounce while never deviating? I am. So tonight I am chugging on tea, water and gum to subside the BEAST. My brain is also spinning with the million things I need to get done but haven't attended to this week. I honestly feel like I spend half my day cooking, heating up food or cleaning the kitchen. I now run the dishwasher a minimum of twice a day. I can't fully concentrate on work or anything unless I clean the kitchen and it always needs cleaning. I need to devise another strategy in the kitchen that optimizes my time and speeds things up. Some would say that I should cook a weeks worth of meals in one day because I usually prepare two or three days of food. Regardless, I still have to heat the meals up. It's never ending. I'm open to suggestions if you have any.
I will be headed to the gym in the morning earlier than usual with my friend Dawn. We are very green because we carpool the 28 minute drive!!:) Below are some pictures of my day. Sweet Dreams
All my supplements. Hard to keep up with them all. I'm an official pill popper now!
My latest addiction. I make coffee several times a day. Now if Godiva would make decaf but I doubt it has any effect on me anyways. I just drank the Carmel and my eyes are closing as I type. Is anyone immune to caffeine like me?
I would LOVE and I DROOL over Bananas. Not on the diet but I do miss them. It's like a little torture game with them on the counter. They would be so good with almond butter.........Yummy
Here's me fighting my sweet tooth. 2 different versions of tea to attempt the calming of the sweet BEAST!
My lil monster, Vladi, chilling on the other side of the couch tonight. 
You are hilarious. If you stopped heating all your food up on the stove top that will definitely speed the process up! Also, GODIVA CHOCOLATE COFFEE?!!?! Can't wait to have that when I come up and visit you at the end of the month!! Keep doing your thang, Momma! No more "nibbling" on protein bars =) love you!
