I know!! Finally!! I decided to take a few to really document my transformation. I feel like I have come a looooong way from my very first photo shoot.
What I am trying to do now is build, build, build! Still need a ton of work on my back side. Nope, not gonna post THOSE pics!! ;-( Just know that I still have bootay!! Working on that.
Everything for me is trial and error. I am my own guinea pig. Still changing around the supplements until I feel a perfect fit. I have long been a Gaspari Myofusion girl and decided to try something new as far as Whey Protein goes. I am on my 2nd tub of Dymatize Elite Mass High Protein Muscle Gainer. Yeah, love it. Double Chocolate, of course. Also added Optimum Nutrition Beta-Alanine and Muscle Pharm CLA. Yeah, the CLA will hopefully breakdown my bootay. A nice ephedra free fat burner. Still taking ON Creatine and Scivation Extend (grape escape) for my BCAA, Leucine and Glutamine. Been my "go to" for fast recovery so I can lift heavy.
All and all, I feel happy with the ongoing results. Still, it's hard somedays to stay motivated when the contest I'm gearing up for is so far away! November 3rd?? But, I keep telling myself, that everyday counts. Everyday I push myself, is one more day for those muscle fibers to grow!! Whenever I am pushing out my last set of leg extensions and I think I can't do another rep, I picture my body, the end result, on that stage. That's enough to see me through and give me the confidence to do it!
Every once in a while, I don't get my 6 meals in and BOY does my body hate me for it!
Note to self:
Please eat 6-7 meals a day!!! Ummm pretty clean, please!
Case in point - I was supposed to do Legs today but just couldn't get motivated. AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!! My diet was wonky today!
Not gonna beat myself up. Somedays you just need to take a break. Tomorrows workout will ROCK!! :-)
I think the key, at least for me is, when you wake up, drink a protein shake and have an apple. My body has been fasting all night and I have to tell myself that those hunger pangs are my body eating away at that hard earned muscle! FEED IT!!! Doing that, you are sure to get in the right amount of meals and nutrition throughout the day. It revs up the metabolism as well. Bonus.
Going to go now and make sure I have my Leg day mapped out for tomorrow.
Nighty night :-)
