TweetGreat work Kat! I don't understand some of the things you do but I can clearly see that it has worked for you. Love the food pics they clearly demonstrate that a good diet can be varied and tasteful. I think I'm falling in like with you.

TweetThanks Trixie! Most of the sweets aren't for me luckily! Lol What sort of things do you mean you don't understand?

TweetLife has been so busy I have just not had the time to log my workouts on here. I have had them on paper the majority of the time. I am focusing more on strength currently as well as back at cutting calories. Slow. I didn't work them up near as high as last year. Seems my maintenance is sadly around 1850-1900 calories...it's gonna stink once I get to the end of my cut. Just hoping things will work this time around and I'll be able to shed about 15-20lbs.
Monday: Woke up at 4:20 this morning. It was one of those..."what day is it" days! Haha Got up and around. Thankfully I fixed my PWO and aminos last night.

I have been having trouble with my hips and loosing strength in my squats. Not sure what's up but did some mobility drills this morning that [MENTION=182952]RegisterJr[/MENTION] linked me videos for. They really seemed to help. The first several set felt great but as soon as I got over 135, it was like a TON of bricks fell on me. Couldn't seem to move it very well. Not my piriformis seems to be flaring up. Went home at lunch and rolled it some. Stretched a lot at the gym. Hopefully it will calm down quickly!

Tweeti know i am not your coach kat but i would suggest adding 1-2 days of slightly above your maint during the week. that way you dont burn out and stall or crash and burn. what i have found is that if i keep my clients in a def for the entire time i have to either continue to lower their cals or do something funky when they stall but by adding in a day or two of about 5% above maint they continue to lose for the duration of the diet

TweetThank you guns! I really appreciate your help! I'll do that! I am definitely not wanting to stall! Do you suggest doing that two days together or spaced apart during the week.

Tweettogether and i would go either monday and tuesday or start them on your main leg or back days. then just roll with the other 5 as planned. that should keep you humming along with no stalls or issues. if you do stall up a bit then instead of doing what most others will do and drop cals lower do the opposite and add in another 2-3% to those days and or add in a nice cheat of double your number of cals for one meal with any food you want. again it will fire your body up and make it think it is back in an abundance of cals and get it back to burning fats again

Gym was busy this morning so I bounced around a little bit excuse the randomness…

Tweetthat's my favorite. nothing like being on the verge of throwing up or passing out. then the leg buckling as you try to hobble to your car. i have a car that has a manual shift and i have mistakenly a time or two in the past. that really sucks haha

TweetThis week is a scheduled deload so not really logging my workouts. Just more for getting the blood flowing as well as cardio, stretching and lots of foam rolling. Having some sciatic issues so hoping the rolling/stretching will work out any imbalances and knots.
