Hmmmmm, cajun's on the market and so is Slim, he needs a mature woman to guide him through life, she needs a young stud to keep up with her.....

Sorry, that was a "balloon" thought, it didn't really exist out in the open. Now where were we??? Oh yeah, line them up at the picnic, Slim is the sole Judge of the single male category and also the prize. I like it!

Balloon thought. Some of those are the BEST!

LOL, funny!!

As soon as I stop drinking beer and eating whatever on the weekends, I will get that last couple % of BF off... THEN I'll post pics before I start a new cycle, and start a log for it. THEN I'll post my resume, criminal record, dating history and driver's licence. - for Slimmer's dating consideration. She already has my blood-work!

[oatmeal69]

So, along the lines of the oat pancakes...
I took egg-whites, and blended them with some fat-free cottage cheese. Scrambled it up with some basil. Pretty damn good, the cottage cheese kinda fluffs 'em up more and changes the flavor from plain old scrambled eggs..

[Ms.Magoo]

Wow Slimmer that looks like a pretty intense w/o, nice!!!

[tbody66]

Wow, with a slam-jam workout like that you deserve to have some bacon!

[RaginCajun]

ramping up has begun! love the breakfast meal after the workout!

this is all about WANT/DESIRE to. not everyone CAN make time, it is the ones who DO who make it happen!!!!

Thanks. I needed to hear this as I am kinda re-thinking my plan here I must confess....

[RaginCajun]

Thanks. I needed to hear this as I am kinda re-thinking my plan here I must confess....

i can tell that something was going on with all of your questions regarding cardio. this type of plan is always a work in progress because life changes and we just have to adapt to the situation presented to us. look at what has worked for you and then try some new things if ya must, only wat to figured out what works! you got this

[SlimmerMe]

^^ thanks. Not really re: cardio as actually I like to do cardio anyway. I will post up my concern in this next post for feedback. You are VERY intuitive. Very.

[SlimmerMe]

QUESTION:

I few days ago I made a goal to lose 10 pounds in 2 months.

NOTE: My original challenge last April was 20 pounds in 3 months which I did succeed in doing. Plus I lost an additional 10 pounds over a 4/5 month time period making a total of 30.

I am now wondering if I got over zealous stating 10 in 2 months. Reason being: Getting VERY close to my target. And we all know the closer we get the more pedal to the medal has to happen. I want to make sure I succeed and not set myself up for something which creates stress. Plus I do not want to lower my calories for too long potentially messing up my metabolism hence why I have purposely held a certain weight by re-feeding to prevent this from happening. And the most important? We ladies have to be kind to our skin especially the closer we get. Our skin will thank us for that.

I know all of this could be pure justification but simply getting it out.

So would I be regressing to revise this? Or am I being smart. Would love any feedback from you guys and girls.
Thanks.
SM

[oatmeal69]

I don't know how anyone does this along with a full time job and juggling all of life's other duties. I'm lucky to be unemployed at the moment, but when I do get a job, I know much of this focus and intensity will simply no longer be available. I'm trying to make the most of it now.

[tbody66]

Slim, even close to the goal a lb a week is very attainable, but if you just wanted to half that and shoot for 1/2 lb a week it would still be healthy and consistent. You have nothing to apologize for or feel guilt over, listen to your body, if you are having questions or doubts examine them and seek confirmation for the concerns, if they are simply based in doubt or fear then put them aside, set the goal and go for it to the best of your ability. It certainly won't hurt to stick with the current plan with a scheduled re-feed beginning march 3rd, then evaluate and enter the next phase of your physique transformation journey.

^^^this. if you knew the answer to this, you would not have asked. we all need some reassurance and i am thinking this is what you may be looking for. i like what tbuddy said but you are the one who has succeeded in the past and you know what you want your body to look like. you know how hard you worked before, so now, you may have to dig a little deeper to stay focused. i still get stressed/mad at the hard work that i do and then i go screw it up by drinking, but i knew the consequences going into it. it is all about YOU and YOUR DESIRE to strive to do better, no one will make you do this and YOU are one the supreme examples of how staying focused and discipline pays off. i say, keep what ya going and re-evaluate if you are not noticing any changes. like they say, if it ain't broke............................................

[SexySweetheart]

I can see how it would be intimidating this could be..but if anyone can do ..it is you SM!

your doing awsome! I say continue with the awsome-ness!

[PPC]

I just don't know. I see what you are saying here Slima. Dropping another ten fast is awesome for goal, if anyone can do it here, you can. But yes, 3 cardios in one day is all consuming. It is sorta over the top when you have life to live too. I think the ten pounds more you achieved after your initial weight loss goal could occur naturally again. It will just happen in a slower way. In the end, learning about healthier choices, including your fasted exercise in moderation, finding foods that you not only love but which promote weight loss are the little every day miracles which will sustain a healthier, slimmer you for the rest of your life. Maintaining with ease plus losing a little more naturally in the process becomes the most important goal in the end. That will be the art to master.

On the other hand... you know yourself and your personality better than we all do. If dropping this last ten quickly is going to give you an even better outlook on the future then trust yourself. If you do push the goal further up a little, just make sure it's not because you want to fall off the wagon and take that 32 back to 30 or 28, which I doubt you'll do. Let us know what you're thinking about all this, because it sure is an integral question for most folk.

"Bold" is what I am trying to get clear about since I am still questioning what to do. Thanks Tbody. Appreciate it.
