nikegurl's TP.PT experience
Monday's the day. I'll be starting TP's 12 week training program and logging here as I go. I'm thrilled to be participating and I'm going to make the absolute most of this experience.
My highly unoriginal goals are to drop bodyfat and build muscle. Cutting is my first priority but I'm determined to get leaner once and for all so I can shift my focus to building muscle. (I'm not there yet - but I will be) I'll also begin carb cycling on Monday. Week 1 carbs will look like this: Sun-No Mon-High Tues-Low Wed-No Thurs-Low Fri-Low Sat-No I'll be taking measurements this weekend. They'll be posted Monday. I'll also be taking photos.  (I really hate that part but I see how important it is). Since I don't have a digital camera it will probably take me close to a week to get them posted - but they'll be here.Disclaimer: Anyone who views the before photos MUST come back at the end to view the afters.  |

But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I woke up very excited for Day 1 of the new training program.
I took my measurements last night...it was a harsh reality.  There is no longer any confusion as to why some of my clothes are too tight. I won't go on and on about how bad it is since it will only get better from this point on. QUADS: 24" (left) 24 1/4" (right) CALVES: 16 1/8" (left) 16" (right) FOREARMS: 11 1/4" (left) 11" (right) ARMS: 14" (both) WAIST: 29 3/4" CHEST: 37 1/2" HIPS: 39 3/4" ohmydearGAWD  WEIGHT: 154 HEIGHT: 5' 9" I'll be updating these every 2 weeks.

yesterday (Easter) should have been no carb and today should be high carb. well....i have to adjust that.
i ate a LOT of carbs yesterday. (more than enough to fuel tonight's workout) i'm gonna make today no carb and then start with my carb cycling plan as outlined above tomorrow. i am NOT going to screw up. |

You are going to do AWESOME.... Your tune will change in 12 weeks.
So is today a 'HIGH' day? And were you able to do a 'No' day yesterday on Easter?  <---- For your workouts! |

Kick some ass NG.
You'll do awesome. |

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
