Progress Update - 4 Weeks with LBC
Far Left is Just before my injury (I gained a bit more weight...5 lbs probably after that before starting with Erik 4 weeks ago)Middle picture is 2 weeks ago and FAR RIGHT is today (after 4 weeks with LBC) 5/21/09
Call me crazy, but I see the transformation after in the last 2 weeks above. The pic on the left is from less than 2 weeks ago and the one on the right is from today 5/21/09.
If you don't remember, I started bulking mid-January and I tried it on my own, gaining too much fat for the amount of muscle I put on. I then, decided to work with LBC and I got injured. I took almost 2 months to get my writes to where I could get back in the gym and now I'm still almost healed again. I still have limited strength in my right wrist which limits me in the gym but I'm doing the best I can!
I am losing at a pretty slow rate of about a pound a week with LBC but I am also gaining strength while cutting!! It's amazing! I'm increasing my weights on a lot of exercises while I'm cutting. I'm not ridiculously exhausted...in fact a feel pretty good most days, even though I'm "dieting" or "cutting." I'm trying to remind myself that the slower the better to maintain my muscle mass that I've worked SO hard to gain!
Stay tuned for more great cutting!!! (Then back to bulking!)
Plans are still to compete in 2010. And, my plan to get my priorities in order have worked well!!! I think I'm getting a B in this current masters class...no more 4.0 GPA which was part of my plan for backing off that and realizing that I don't have to have a 4.0 in order to get my masters. I want to get my masters while having a life and still giving to my husband, my job, my fitness and myself and rathan fully cutting one out...I realized that there was another way to balance. I don't have to be perfect at everything!!! So, I spent a bit less time, energy and stress on my masters and it was much more manageable!! Can you believe it? I can let go and not worry about being perfect!!! I'm working on adding that into all aspects of my life! It's coming along! Thanks al for your support!

Tori -
I can see the difference, too! And I see that you have some majorly strong abs under there, just think how they are going to look when you cut the fat down further!!! Theya re going to be NUTS I can't wait to see them!
Good for you for managing and prioritizing your goals and stress.
Looking forward to more updates!
