How I’m doin’

So far, in the past 4 1/2 weeks since tackling bodybuilding as a new passion I’ve lost 5lbs (138 to 133 lbs), I’ve increased my weights and have made my goal of 6+ hours of exercise a week. In addition, I’ve fine tuned my eating habits and have felt wonderful from doing so. I’ve changed them to something I can live with forever. I understand many bodybuilders ‘cut’ before shows, but I want to be able to find a lifestyle that I can stay steady with. I might change a few things weeks ahead of a show, but right now I want to concentrate on just eating well to enhance my workouts, not go against them.

This week I’ve already complete 7 hours of exercise and have another bike ride ahead of me tomorrow. For some extremists, this isn’t as much as them, but for me = awesome! It’s always great to see some results and start to achieve your goals!

Congratulations! Sounds like you are on track. I on the other hand have fallen off a bit since my marathon. Time to clean up the diet again. You inspire me. :)
