okay guys...most of you know me but I will reintroduce myself...

26 years old
129 pounds
arms-11 1/2
chest-36 1/2
calves-14 1/2
hips-34
thighs-22
abs-29 1/2

I have pretty much gotten hooked on p/rr/s lately, so I will continue doing what I have been doing. Things have stayed pretty steady over the last few months, and I am wanting to try something new! I was suppose to start Universal Storms creatine this week, but due to a manufacturing error I won't get it until next week sometime. I am planning to take it for one cycle of p/rr/s and off one cycle. I don't know how my body will react to creatine, but we will find out soon enough! I am also taking a multivitamin and fish oil capsules.

My training days are:
Monday: chest/shoulders/triceps
Wednesday: legs
Friday: back/biceps
on some Tuesdays/Thursdays I will do cardio...but only when I have time!

My diet is fairly clean through the week, I try to take in about 1550-1700 calories per day, and at least 150-175 grams of protein.

If I have forgotten anything please let me know and I will include it!!

BILLIE

p.s...special thanks to Pylon for helping me with a journal name, and putting my journal link in my signature!!

GOALS:

Ideally I would like my weight to come down to 125, but to be honest with you I am very comfortable where I am at, so if that doesn't happen it will be okay...I am curious to see what effects the creatine will have on my weight...

I am trying to take in at least 130 oz. of water a day to keep me from having a lot of bloating with the creatine, this particular one says that it doesn't cause that...but I'm not taking any chances (I just wish it would hurry up and get here!!)

I would like to wittle my waist down a bit this 9 weeks, I am going to aim for 29", that's a 1/2 inch drop.

My weight lifting goals are to increase my benchpress to 80lb, slowly but surely I will hit 100, but I'm trying to take it slow because I work out alone. I would also like to hit 300 on my leg presses this 9 weeks. I would also like to hit 120 for my squats.

Rocco also got me started on doing at least 200 reps on ab work, and it something I've kinda warmed up to...I like doing my ab work in between sets to increase the intensity of my workout I will be working abs about 2 times a week.

One of my immediate goals will be to look smokin hot for Thanksgiving...lol....the folks that we are visiting in KY haven't seen me since last November, and I have dropped 15 pounds, and lost quite a bit of body fat...I just want to blow them away!

thanks for dropping in guys!!

That's a neat concept of working in abs between sets. If I wasn't doing HIT (and not really taking rest between sets anyway) I would steal that for sure.

Sounds like a great set of goals. Maybe you should get some new pics up so we can see where you are at the start of this journal...

Good luck. Let me know when you provide any feedback on Storm creatine. I am considering trying it myself because I've heard good reviews about it.

You had a baby? I guess that's a good reason to skip your workout...for a day or two, anyway...
