So overall I am not impressed with a month of hard work and serious dietary changes. I guess I am getting there, I just thought there would be more changes in my body. I am loving the inch and a half off of my waist and the loss of 6 pounds overall. I will keep going, I know I will get there some day.

3 weeks into my new life!

Well today is the end of 3 weeks of my new bodybuilding lifestyle. I love it so much. I have definitely noticed a loss of weight even though I have muscle growth also.

I am one week away from taking my one month progress pictures and measurements, I am really looking forward to seeing how much my body has changed in only one month.

Cheat day, no data...

31 October 2010

Now this will be the LAST time I go more than 1 day between workouts! I feel like crap and will not repeat this ever again! I will not let life happen enough to prevent workouts, there is always time to get in a good workout. I just need to make sure it happens.
