AnnaD's wannabe HOT-Summer Bod Journal

Ok, I realized that I need to actually start a journal of what I eat and my workouts, doing this has always helped me in the past. I have kept a journal before but not on this site. Its time for me to get back in the gym, HARDCORE! I also joined a new gym, 24Hr Super Sport and its awesome. I can actually get in a decent workout without waiting for a machine. I am also trying new machines and even taking classes every week. My gym even has an Ab room, so maybe I can get my stomach back??? Enough about that here are my stats:

5'1
126lbs (but not for long) Actually, thats all my measurement I have for now.

Don't be so obessed with weight it will play with your mind.

Especially that stupid thing called a scale. What if you gain LBM, that will screw with that goal.

I would base it off off measurements, The Mirror and how clothes fit. JMO

Good luck



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.

i second that!

good luck with your goals, a new gym with a good environment always pumps me up and motivates to hit the weights hard.

one last thing, don't get too carried away with using machines, 95% of your workout should be free weight/cable stuff anyway with machines just supplementing some stuff or using em if you need to work around an injury.

Hey Anna! Whats going on?

I agree that you shouldn't be so obsessed with the scale. I haven't weighed myself in over a month and I'm glad. I have taken progress pictures with my digital camera every single week though. This way I can see my abs and see if I feel like I'm gaining or losing fat.

Good luck! You have to get some pictures up.

Thanks for the advice IainDaniel,MonStar, and Yanick . . . I don't want to get too attached to the machines, because I love being able to use free weights, forces me to use proper form. Anyhow, I am off to the gym, I am PUMPED to start my workout tonight and I am even going to log it on a small notepad, something I have never done before . . . .


Lookout for pics in 2 weeks! I will be concentrating on arms and bum! YAY!

toss some glutamine in after your done lifting before your HIIT it will help a lot with
muscle loss prevention. I would also up the weights a bit and aim for 8-10 rep range.
you'll hit that goal no problem, just stay away from the booze that's what gets me
everytime I try and set a goal.

keep up the good work

I dont know your weight in your pix, but that looks about perfect to me. Heck even more would be great, but I like curvy women.

I think she does look good in her pics, but IMO, more wouldn't be great, lol.

nice workout, but don't stretch before your workout. do your warm ups then your lifting and stretching afterward.

also, i wouldn't want to be you on leg day if your doing 12 sets for bi's and 12 tri's of course maybe thats just me.

oh yeah and i agree with mudge, didn't see the pictures before, you don't need to lose any weight your perfect the way you are.
