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.

Good luck NG! You'll do great gal!
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.Last edited by nikegurl; 04-12-2004 at 11:58 AM.

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.

So is today a 'HIGH' day? And were you able to do a 'No' day yesterday on Easter?
