I will be back this weekend!
Sorry I've been MIA...I've really been trying to put 110% into this thing.
That being said, I hit a really frustrating plateau which is causing me to really have to analyze my eating habits, workout routine, amount of cardio, etc. It's frustrating...but I'm finishing up Week 8 of my Body-for-Life challenge and I've had some real encouragement on my progress thus far.
I know this happens every time you start a diet/exercise regime...eventually you are going to plateau and have to change up your routine. I'm trying different things and seeing what works...but right now, I'm so over-consumed by sticking this challenge out that I can't think of much else at the moment, let alone blogging. Once I finish this thing successfully, then I feel I will really be in a place to help those of you who are still on the fence about diving in. I'm VERY happy to see a few Xanga peeps have signed up at www.bodyforlife-tracker.com and one has been participating in the forum with me...and she's doing really, really well so far. I won't embarrass her and name names.
I will write that blog on why I chose BFL over all the other exercise programs out there...and why the heck it's got me so fanatical. I'll finish that up on my free day when I'm relaxing after one seriously hard week of work. I tried upping my caloric intake and I think it just backfired on me. doh! Oh well, for every thing you find that doesn't work, you know you're closer to finding out what does work. My caloric intake and exercise before seemed to be going well. Someone suggested I wasn't eating enough calories so I upped my level and found out that person was wrong. I'm a small person! I don't really need anymore than 1200-1500 cals a day! I learned a valuable lesson from that: if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
So I'm on to Week 9 next week and stressing out because I need a professional photographer...or even a good amateur to take those final 12-week photos. Anyone know any good photographers in the area? Who knows how to shoot for muscle definition and all that craziness?

Hey, have you heard about the 'cookie diet'? I heard about this on the radio. Check out their site. www.smartforlife.com Supposedly guys can lose 20 pounds on this and girls 10-15. Just by following the eating plan. I have to research it more, but I've heard good things
There are a few people I know from high school who still model in the San Diego area. I'll see if I can get some bites for you. If nothing else I'll get numbers and websites and you can decide what to do from that point. You really are an inspiration. Keep up the good work!
I'm in the same place Kelly. And it stinks!! I haven't been doing BFL, but I've been running and swimming and taking a yoga class. Then a month ago, my right foot started hurting and I just blew it off. Everytime I would work out, it just got worse, so I finnally went to the doctor three weeks ago, stress fracture!!! DAH!!! So now I'm laid up until at least next Friday, when I go back in for a follow-up. And possibly more time after that if it's not healing as much as they want! It's so frustrating! It would be so easy to just down an entire bag of Chips Ahoy right now. And I feel like a dumb-ass for working out on a broken bone for three weeks. Moral of the story, don't be a dumb-ass.
robb?
Another photographer I contacted was interested. Check out his Myspace at www.myspace.com/richwell. Beautiful pictures. He wanted to know if you had a myspace. His professional web page is www.richwellcorrea.com. He has done some of my friends family pictures. Check him out. You also mentioned using amateurs. i have some friends who do fantastic amateur work. i could ask them if your interested. Let me know Kelly.
