Girly’s Journal from Fat to Fit

[GirlyGymRat]

Journey should be fun yet challenging and I am determined to see results!

Current stats: 64 inches, 22% bf (unscientific), between 142 and 145 pounds (up 4% in bf and 10 lbs from my lowest low which I was not able to maintain). At 145, I am 100% natty, have vascularity in lower part of arms/legs and comfortably wearing size small top/size 4 slack/skirt with some definition in my upr abs/sides...minimal.

Long term goal is to maintain 15 – 16% BF which should put be around 125 lb. I am less concerned about the scale and more on a look and being able to comfortably maintain.

Short term goal is to drop BF, especially in belly/abdomen/upper inner thighs. I had dropped 40 lbs after joining this site; however, I over trained and recovery took the better part of a year. My new plan is to build lean muscle all over, focusing on booty, arms and abs. I incorporate weights and cardio, seeking a more balanced approach. I have been recording a starting point for lower and upper body on different equipment and leaning on other member’s logs to gain lifting knowledge. I am self-proclaimed cardio bunny but MUST weight train to achieve goals.

My immediate focus is consistency in diet, H20 and training.

I will post weekly progress / stat updates as well as major mods to diet, training, supplements. My starting point is 1400 cal; 158 g p/105 g c/ 39 g f. Cardio 4x per week. Weight Training 3x weekly. Let's do this!

Progress will be nice. I took measurements also. Measurements show progress to me quicker then scale. I appreciate the reminder! Thx!!

[WattTimeIsIt]

R U gonna be doing Austinite's fat stack? Doubt it based on my sugar craving thread, but i'm wondering to see how it would work on a female.

[t-dogg]

Hope you like rollercoaster rides. LOL

Yes!!! Very much sooooooo!!! I'm a big kid at heart

[GirlyGymRat]

is this what i think it is? YES Smarty Pants. I ran out of excuses!

you don't need luck, i have watched you do this before, so do it again! Thx Darhling

hope your body allows you to work hard! I am focused on form and rebuilding. I have lost a lot of strength and have to avoid certain lifts initially, but there are plenty of options to hit same muscle.

get back on the horse and ride!

Thx 405! I appreciate your support!

Giggle reports it's working for her and my amazon care package is on its way! I have high expectations for Austinite's Fat Loss stack, although, I would like to increase my overall calories and carbs, just not the chocolate carbs

Yes!!! Very much sooooooo!!! I'm a big kid at heart

Me too!

[GirlyGymRat]

Thank you fellas for the support bc the mental part is sometimes harder then the physical aspect.

I hit my macros, exceeded my fiber grams; and drank 112 ounces of water! Trained bi/tri/abs and 1 hour of HIIT cardio. Off to a grand start!

[GirlyGymRat]

Thx Cape and you're looking HUGE their big guy. You have drive and I can't help but admire that on members!

. Do what ya do GG

[DCI]

The mental game is the hardest part of all this visualising the progress in your head before you get there always helps me abd something Ihave only learned recently

That's how you do it. Now rinse and repeat 10,000 times

[Giggle]

Hi there GGR - I'm glad to find your log. We are similar in a lot of ways. Let's do this! I need to get this cut done, and move on to a more fun phase.
Good luck, and follow your heart!

Prolly closer to 45 of HIIT, 10 min warmup 5 min cool down. 45 min of tabata in a cycle class. Instructor is a typical. Amazing.

[Giggle]

WOW - you're a she-beast!
That's some intense stuff, tabata and HIIT too.

cycle class incorporates tabata This instructor is intense /her recovery between tabata intervals is a flat road sprint. Not all instructors are good. This one is fabulous!

[Capebuffalo]

You sound focused. Kill it GG.

I think important to start strong to see results as quickly as possible. It's a huge motivator to feel results.

Hit macros and increased water yesterday. Weight is down. And then life bites gonna have to take it easy for a week. I figure a week off of lifting, have to modify cardio so don't open some unplanned sutures. Diet has to be tight.

Set backs and how we deal with them is what makes us who we are. You don't have a set back you have a stepping stone. Head high GG

Yeh and thx. I was really looking forward to my first leg day!

100% agree. You never get better if things don't challenge you.

[Giggle]

Ah so sorry GGR. I know you're too tough to let this slow you down!
Hang in there, and make the tweaks that will allow you to make progress in a different area. If I can't do one thing, I'll change and focus on something else, like flexibility or leanness. Then get back to strength or size when I can.
I sure like Cape's idea of "stepping stones". Nice!

Damn babe, must be that pesky ankle.

Heal up and do what ya can to move forward.

We are here for ya

[GirlyGymRat]

appreciate all your comments and support. I went outside and screamed at the sky for 2 minutes - made me feel better. I have been considering NOT following doc orders. I wonder if DRs would recommend otherwise if THEY WORKED OUT. :/

Weight is down, but in the attempt of full disclosure, I DID eat a Girly's version of the "AL" cheat meal night b4 I started... it seemed like the right thing to do at the time and I do not have any regrets. I know I have a tempting weekend coming up, so am considering pulling back on carbs throughout the week and trying to minimize the impact!
