Today was weight and body fat day. I am down to 118.5 from 121 and 17.9% body fat from 20.2%. I gained a pound of muscle and lost 3 lbs of fat (almost). So that is very good news considering I have really been on the diet for 1 1/2 weeks and not a full two. Good news always motivates me. That's why I think it's so important to go to a trainer while you are training for a show or just have a goal you are trying to attain. I only meet with him every two weeks, but he holds me accountable. Yes, my husband has learned to measure my body fat, but it's just not the same.

So what now?  Basically, I was told to keep doing what I am doing. We discussed my diet and how many calories I am actually taking in. While I have always taken in 1600 calories a day in the past during this diet, this time it's more realistic to say I am taking in 1500. Difference is, I am not feeling hungry. So we just keep it like it is. No sense in changing something that is working.

I will be changing my workouts a little next week. I like to switch things up a lot. I find my body responds better to frequent changes. I will be doing more reps on my weight training for 3 days and high intensity weight training for 2 days....AND NO, I am not doing cardio at this time.

I am due for a cheat meal this weekend, and today I am not craving anything. If this continues to be the case, then I will just cheat when my body is ready. I am almost positive cravings WILL hit me.
