So ladies I just figured I would check in and see how all of you are doing with your fitness goals! I had to take progress pictures today for my nutritionist and it made think to check in with you gals. If you don't do this, I highly recommend it because even if the scale doesnt move, you mgith still be losing fat! The past few weeks I have been doing what is called Carb Cycling with my dr. As much as it is difficult in looking at my pictures from a month ago and today it totally helps! I haven't lost much scale weight, maybe 5 pounds since january, but my body is looking very different! Give it a try if you are plateaued!

Good for you!!! Dont feel bad about the pizza...your body needs higher calorie days! Carb cycling means that you eat different levels of carbohydrates each day. For instance you could do 75grams, 100 grams, 125, back to 75, 100, 125 and 150! It keeps your metabolism going even with the lower carb days in there to help lose fat!

Re: Fitness Check in!
Yay I'm glad you posted this!!
I haven't went on the scale because I'm focusing more on eating clean and exercising and not obsessing over a number. I officially landed at the 6 months away mark friday, so this week I kicked it into high gear.
Here's my workout wrap up from the past week:
2 spin classes 1 cardio kickbox class 1 hour of personal training plus 20 min cardio
Later this afternoon I'll be at the gym doing a solid hour or more of cardio.
Work that body, work that body, make sure you don't hurt nobody!!

Re: Fitness Check in!
I have been plateaued for a while I feel. Losing very little.. however people are telling me i look good.
i usually go to curves, or do the shred. Last month i just did the shred 4x a week. I lost 2 inches in my hips. and my abs.
today I am supposed to start level 3 of the shred, but i have no motivation and I am afraid!! Level 2 kicked my a s s!!!
Thanks for this post... I may try the carb thing!! I love carbs!!

I'm doing a lot of cardio mainly b/c I have a really muscular frame-I was a dancer for 20 years!! I'm really trying to focus the next month or two on burning excess fat and 'losing a layer' as I call it..once the layer is gone I'll even out the strength to cardio ratio more. I'm gonna FM you later on the carb thing you posted.
