Thread: Lynnie's Journal to GOAL!

Yayyy!!!!!!!!!! You will love it here

Hey everyone.. for those that haven't met me yet! This journal is to keep me on track to get to my goal. My goal is to get lean and strive for the best body i can. I am currently 5'7'', about 149 lbs. I have a good muscle base... i need to get rid of the fat on top! My ultimate goal is 135lbs.. i've gotten and maintained about 142 lbs for a year.. until June of last year.. then my eating got out of control and now i'm back! A week going strong eating clean.
I appreciate all of everyone's support here! I know that I can reach my goal in no time if i just stick to it. Consistency is key. I will post my workouts and meals and I am open to suggestions. I'm on track with my eating now.. i just need a good kick in the ass for cardio and lifting!! I know this will help greatly! I just want to eat clean.. i'm not trying to be super strict of anything. One cheat meal a week.. i'm still deciding on the diet. I had a cutting diet last year from a trainer at the gym i worked at that coached figure girls. He tried to convince me to do figure.. but I don't think i would want to be that strict.. i just want to get lean and maintain!! anyways.. thanks to everyone here!! you all are great!

Good luck, ltennis!

psst...some may want to watch more than you want them to see....

hehe Jodie ... now you are scaring me..!! just kidding!! yeah.. i used to be a cardio queen.. now i have to force myself to do it.. but then i do it and feel great... ugghhh.. well i didn't do it today! Tomorrow i promise! thanks for everything!

I'm only doing it because I have too. Otherwise I wouldn't step foot on a piece of cardio equipement. 2x per day sucks in addtion to lifting!!!

well...on to a happier note...what part of Florida? Craig's parents live over in that state. More toward Orlando than the beach. We may end up there when he finishes up school and decides where he is gonna open his pratice.

HEY !!! i live in orlando!!

originally from jacksonville where i grew up.. here now for college! i love it!.. miss the beach though.. go to Cocoa all the time

welcome ltennis

I will offer my services to be a watcher as well.

Good luck with your goals ... you've already got the key - consistency.

OH I love Orlando!! Cocoa beach is awesome tooooo! Luckygirl!

Welcome to the journal forum! Really great move IMO you'll definitely realize how great it is has to have people supporting/helping you out, etc.

Nice to see that you're going to list your meals, I was hoping that you would do this. Are you going to list what kind of workouts you do as well? Also, I can't really tell from your pictures, how old are you? And how long have you been training?

you do..of course know that yo are also doing cardio for me too, right? hey..if I have to eat my long eared chocolate Easter buny for you, then you have to do my cardio for me. (does it work that way?)


Hey Monstar...
I saw your videos..you human freak of nature...I..uh..need a house moved..wana come over and take care of that!
(great job on the 600+ lb DL!)

Hey i'm 21 yrs old, been training more seriously for about 2.5 years. Always did cardio before that and some lifting. Just getting back into lifting again.. i slacked big time for the past 8 or so months. I'm lucky to have a naturally muscular build.. so i'm excited to see how i'm going to look when i lean out and actually lift hard!! My legs are still very muscular even though i haven't really trained them consistently. would like to get them nice and lean though!

I'm 21 and 5'7 too!

good luck! There is a lot of learning that can happen here..in between idle ramblings of wit (which is my department)
so, stick around and enjoy!

hey thanks! we are so alike Greeky..
I'm trying to figure out how exactly i should do my workouts.. i'm going to do cardio 5x's a week and lift 3x's. I need lots of cardio right now! Even though i try and tell myself i don't. so 40-45mins of it and then lift mon wed fri... i'm thinking..
mon- shoulders,chest,tris
wed-legs
fri-back,bis
and cardio everyday and take weekends off... that seemed to work best for me in the past
any suggestions? my eating is clean..i'm actually going back and forth whether to do a little carb cycling..hmmmmm

I say stick with what works for you!

As for the carb cycling, I tried that before and I really felt it wasn't right for me because it made my binging worse. I think Jill and Jen (atherjen) agree. Carb cycling is very hard both mentally and physically. I say stick w. clean eating and 1 cheat day or meal (meal would be better if u can handle it)

Lynnie...Craig's parents live I think in this place called Lady of the Lakes?
