Goal (Long):
Genetically, I'm blessed with a mesomorphic physique, which means that while I can and do build muscle at a pretty good clip, I can also add fat without a lot of "trying" :) While I don't think that competition is in my nature, I want to have the healthiest and fittest body I've ever had - for me. I want to be satisfied when I look in the mirror or when I step out the door that I've worked as hard as I can to achieve the physique that is mine, and that I can be proud of! Ideally, I would like to maintain between 15-17% bodyfat levels, and weigh in at about 140 lbs. I know that I can do it, but do I want it bad enough?
Kimm is an amazing, strong, smart woman - no B.S., tells it like it is and knows of what she speaks! Always there to give sound advice and share her knowledge. She's helped me immensely...no sunshine up my butt, just the facts. Much respect!
Amanda is just one of those people who you don't come across very often...she has so much knowledge, patience, tact and is ready & willing to help ANYONE. And she does it all with a smile and kindness in her heart. Her work ethic is enviable and her results are obvious!
Well, it's official, Thanksgiving weekend (4 days) with the in-laws did me in! They didn't even have WATER~just soda! Had to go buy a case of h2o at the corner gas station! And, let me tell you, I got dehydrated in about 24 hours! I thought I was out of the game. Not for good, not...
Give me an address and I will send you some for Christmas(just kidding about the address, I aint no nut job)You look like you have had a lifetime of motivation. You know it comes and goes, I am sure you will have it back pronto!! Thanks BTW!
Thanks Brooke, I really appreciate your comments, it means a lot. It's getting harder to make gains now, it's a slow process but hey I'll keep going. Oh and although I've already said it you are looking seriously awesome. WOW,
Mark
I know how you feel. i didn't indulge this holiday, but for some reason have been feeling bloated. It could possibly be all the water I drank so I wouldn't overeat. LOL!!
Congrates on your great progress in the latest challenge, Brooke! Your pics look great. An awesome job of staying focused and achieving results.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
You have a happy thanksgiving, as well. I'm going to be making a healthy/diet Thanksgiving. All the trimmings and everything will taste the same, but I am going to do healthy/diet versions of everything and I bet my unsuspecting in-laws will be none the wiser. I look 32, huh? 32 and quite a Jew. I like it. :)
I'm not sure if it the "CAMERA ANGLE" or the "HEELS"...maybe BOTH...but those "LEGS" look a whole lot LONGER that they did 11 weeks ago!!! LOL ...RED is my new FAVORITE color!!
