TweetI asked Rake my wonderful husband what I should do to get a lot more of this fat off, now that I only have 4 weeks left in the contest? He gives me a look of distain; after quite a few seconds go by he says “I’ve already told you, work out more or eat less.” When we get home from the gym I told him I wanted to post progress pictures. He doesn’t believe in those and tells me that my son and I are like White Belts who just learned how to kick and go around kicking everything. Here comes the last straw. I’m having him take a couple of pictures of me and he reminds me that my back still has a lot of that floppy fat, especially in the top I’m wearing. Then he asks me “Are you even flexing or anything?” That just aint right.

I have raised agirl and 2 boys but have never been so excited to be in the kitchen until I have been in F.I.S.T.S.'s Kitchen. Look at today's dinner.

TweetWoooohooooo check you out woman !!.. Your kicking ass and those dinners look delicious !!.. Keep up the hard work .. I'm cheering you on !

Tweetlooking lean and mean. great progress there. what i tel all the ladies that i work with is this: fat burning is a marathon race and not a sprint. if you crank it up to fast then you burn off more muscle than fat and it sets you back even further. slow and steady is the way to go when the goal is to burn off excess bodyfat. keep it up

TweetIt's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Even though I didn't eat a F.I.S.T.'s Kitchen meal today, Rake did, (Low Carb Surf and Turf): he loves it. I love today everyone at the gym wanted to talk to me. Rake hates that because I get a bit behind him on the workout train. Some of these older ladies need to know that they need to love their husbands and throw them a bone, Every Day! HaHa. I have put 5 to 10 lbs extra on everything I am doing, so I am extremely sore this week. That Zumba Cardio-Party on Sunday kicked my A** into gear. That instructor worked every muscle group and made it fun and exhausting. I can barely walk my calves hurt so bad and I don't even do any calf work in the gym. Got to go: Rake is taking me downtown looking at the big Nascar fans and still have the huge machinery expo guys here. I got kicked out of Cayote Ugly during this Expo 2 years ago. Fun Fun Fun!!

TweetTrixie,

You are doing a great job so do not give up, actually, I can tell in this short of time that you are not a quitter . The only thing I see is still in your diet. When I look at what you have eaten in a day, it just doesnt seem like you are taking in enough calories? Have you evr logged everything you eat in a day? You should really try it for a week, you would be surprised. I used fitday.com and it is very easy.
