Monday, Feb 20 Weight Loss Journal

Yesterday's soreness in my abs were pretty difficult to take honestly. I am feeling better today though. I have to get in the routine of taking protein on a daily basis, esp right after working out - I know that will ease the soreness a bit.
No change on the scale at all this morning, and although it has only been a week it is frustrating not to see a change at all!! Today I will be doing my measurements and will post this evening-

Neck

Left Bicep/Right Bicep

Left Forearm/Right Forearm

Glutes

It would have been fine if it just didn't come with those dang 2 tortillas! UGH! Oh well, I have no time to snack today so we will let those fall into snack categories!

My mom e-mailed me details regarding the carb diet that she uses. It would entail me only consuming a maximum of 20 carbs a day. Which clearly is a HUGE difference from the 70-90 I try to stay in. My mom has had tremendous success on this diet, but I don't know if it is something for me considering the weight training I am doing. My body needs carbs to burn. I really think I need to schedule an appointment with a nutritionist so that I can sort out what I need for food intake doing the weight training that I am to get to my goals successfully. 

I know that I haven't really made my goals known - people think that I am just trying to get skinny but that really isn't the case anymore, I want a full body transformation inside and out. I want to be LEAN not so much pushing to be skinny.

 It's a bad day today. I am super frustrated and confused. I can already tell you I am going to slip big time today on my intake. Seriously, let me just get my stomach stapled along with my mouth.


4:30 - This day needs to just be over. I want to drown my issues with chocolate, skittles, and dr. pepper. Don't worry I won't... but I will be envisioning it while I eat my veggies tonight and while hitting the weights. I didn't get to measure myself because it appears I lost my measuring tape. Bah! I will try to purchase one today or tomorrow.


I had 1 1/2 cups of good ol' Kraft Mac & Cheese with water for dinner. I know it is horrible of me but in my defense at least I didn't eat the whole dang box!
