Hey Jen - the wedding so soo nice! The weather was perfect

I did well at lunch, it was a Chinese place so I had steamed veggies w/shrimp...no sauce Then I went and got my Leptigen from the car and took that, so I'm back on.

I do my weights tonight after work. I was going to post my 3-day workout, but I didn't bring it in with me....maybe I'll post it tonight!

How is you're day???

I justify it to myself by saying that first it relaxes me, it makes me feel better about myself, it helps me get some vitamin D, and it is like light therapy! So I think the benefits outweigh the risks, at least for me right now.

I'd rather be a happy tan person than a miserable pale person

Thanks jen

I dont' like shakes unless I can blend them up w/frozen fruit...otherwise they make me I'm really sensative to taste But, I think I will be short on cals today, so I may do a shake later.

I feel like I didnt do enough weights today...what do you think?

nothing wrong with those totals girl!! glad to see you got in enough protein today too!
if your real hungry try eating more veggies! those help fill you up!

weights dont look bad, could have added another move(leg extensions, leg press, leg curls, etc) but really I dont see any probs with that.

Thanks Jen - the seafood helped I love seafood! Although I do still feel like a when I see the calories over 1500!

I may add another move. The other problem is, my trainer gave me a program when I had my last session...and I lost it !!! I think it fell out of my book at the gym....so I only have one workout from her...this one I made up

I just want to make sure I'm doing enough!

Hey Jen - I dont feel like Im making any progress. Im hungry all the time, but Im not dropping weight. What would you say, from your experience, is the ideal way for me to drop fat and build muscle in the next 7.5 weeks?

I have 30min 3x a week lifing (full body) program and cardio 30-45 mins 4 days.

Any thoughts?

looks like a good routine to me! how many sets are you doing of each? just one?

hmm as for being hungry- is it umm that time of month or coming soon?
have you been eating enough veggies?
healthy fats?
getting your protein in?
those all help with appetite.
hmmmm and shouldnt the leptigen be helping with hunger?
