My biggest challenge w/ holidays is not the abundance of food but the lack of routine. I go to the gym at work so if I'm not working I find it difficult to go to my husbands gym- the equipment is different and the atmosphere is different.
So I have been having some great work outs. I've been adding a lot of volume and failure drop sets. I've added in cardio every session.
I haven't lost a single pound. But I'm ok with that. I don't eat bad - but I am friggin addicted to coffee w/ cream and sugar. Trying to break this nasty little habit. Its just that too - a habit. We have a coffee gang here at work and we all go down and shoot the $hit and drink coffee, then I get bored and wonder out and think I don't want to eat just cause I'm bored so I'll drink fatty/sugary coffee....haha. Great logic I got going on.
Anyways, I did back yesterday and my first exercise was 3 sets of pull-ups to failure. I did 17, 13, and 12. My back feels like I was beat with a wiffle bat today...love that feeling.
Just taking our daughters to a movie tonight and staying in. Couldn't think of anything else I'd rather do than bring in a New Year w/ my wonderful husband and beautiful girls. I've got a great family, we are all healthy and lots to be thankful for. Hope you all have some great reflections and a wonderful celebration to start the New Year!

i know how you feel, i am so addicted to diet cokes that it isnt even funny!!! i cant go one day without one. i know the bloat and blah blah blah, but man, its my crack :0) hope everyone has a wonderful and safe new year's and get ready to kick some ass in 2009!!

I have done it by myself for 7 years have gone from a 22W to a 4-6. During that time I read all kinds of stuff to get me over those platues and the knowledge I gained allowed me to get my Personal Trainer Certification. Don't get discouraged. Knowledge is power. If you hit a platue mix it up. Cross train completely change your diet. Having a healthy body is a lifestyle. Eat healty, workout, live healthy. You did not get out of shape over night and you won't get smoken hot over night either! But You will get there Keep up the good work!

Heeey! All the Beautiful ladies. I hope that everyone made it through the holidays. I survived but then I got sick so my eating over the last couple of days has been far from clean and consisted of over salted canned soup and gallons of tea  ( But I'm back on it and I can't wait to continue on strong. I hope that everyone is super excited about the amazing changes we are making or will soon make, and I wish everyone the best of luck. We can only stand to lose weight, gain confidence, and gain back a part of us, that at least I know for me, I lost a couple of years ago. I hope everyone has a SAFE and HAPPY new year. See ya'll in 2009!

$50,000 MuscleTech Challenge!!
Whew!!! I just signed up for the MuscleTech Challenge for $50,000 and it was nothing but pure pandamonium over there. It was like battling through a TESTOSTERONE jungle. Those guys are competitive! As a matter of fact they forgot that women are even in the competition too.Several women have responded to the forum ....and it was as though they did not even exist. Now we all know that women are actually more competitive that men. Am I right or what? However they don't know this this....Haaaa....HA. Herein lies the real challlenge...Wouldn't it be a surprise if this years' winner is actually a WOMAN. Do you see what I am getting at here ladies? How many men do you think visits our little forum here?
GAME...ON.....
LUCK is when oppportunity meets preparation. LETS GO!!!!!

Wow...so I took my first dose of the pills yesterday. They were AMAZING! I felt so energized throughout the day...and I swear I lost like 7 pounds of pretty much water weight in 2 days. I hope everyone else has the same great results! Just keep doin what your doin and yall should be fine. Remember!...when your on the pills no coffee or tea because you are already getting like 3 cups of coffee with the pills. Drink tons of water.  Happy New Year!

I couldn't see my order either- I just contacted Richard- Bodyspaceadmin and he checked to make sure it was under my account!
HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES!
I think today is my official day 1, because I had to stop taking the pills. I am going to re-take my pics and in fact I am sure they look worse than before. On top of it, I hired JPhillips17- I am very excited to be working with him!
Good luck to everyone!

Hello-
I'm going to be doing this challenge as well as the Muscletech challenge. Does anyone know if the Hydroxycut Max purchase can be used for both? I think hydroxycut max is a muscletech product but not too sure...
Will post pics soon. Since the Muscletech challenge started today I waited to start this one at the same time (at least I got to eat a little more during the holiday's!)
Think this is great motivation as I plan to compete in the spring anyway.

Good Morning Ladies!
Hope everyone work outs are going good! My supplements dont come in for a few more days  want them so I can get my butt in gear and really start this thing! I havent decided if I want to just do the 8wks are go the whole way to April(WHICH IS MY BDAY MONTH) So maybe I'll go til then.
Im excited I decided to start this challenge off right and do the Bootcamp that we have at our gym! Its with the best trainer we have in the whole state of North Dakota!! LOL. So I know just know I will see the results that I want to!
How is everyone else doing? Meg, I read that you were having chest pains? Are you feeling better yet, did you start taking them again? I've taking Hydroxycut Max! in the past so I think my body will take well to it  Which is a good sign? Is anyone doing the other Hydroxycut Max! MuscleTech challenge worth 250,000? I've tried to get to the site but it hasnt work. Im just wondering if you have to do the entry form just like we did with this one on BodyBuilding.com or if you just send in all your info at the end of the challenge! LOL HELP! Just message me or write me back on the thread!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Work Hard Ladies!! Can't wait to see everyone's results and who they choose as the winner!

Ha, my birthday is in April also. Might go the whole way though through the end of April, got ready the guidelines ago. I had trouble linking to the other site as well. Wonder what is going on with that.

Thats awesome! April what? Mine the 27th.. But im not sure whats going on with that website? Strange. Are you doing that Challenge as well as this one? Did you have to enter just like we did with this one, or just send the packet in? Im so confused, lol. My boyfriend thinks that there is a entry form we will out, but I dont remember ever seeing one so I wasnt really sure.

April 1st for the birthday. Yeah, there's a seperate entry form for the other one also. Basically same info though and I will be entering both. I don't think the whole packet needs to be completed until the end of your challenge so you can do your after pics and write your essay about your transformation. There is also a 3rd one that is not through bb.com. They talk about it earlier in the thread. I started today and am going to enter all three. I'm looking at 16wks (lots of bodyfat to lose) so I can end all at the same time without confusing the heck out of myself, lol.

Yes, I am feeling better- it had something to do with the order/time I was taking my supplements, but my trainers have figured it out!
I was going to do the muscletech but I ordered my supplements before the 1st so I may skip that one!

Up date...
Just a little up date to let everyone know how things are going.... I'm not happy about it, but I have gained about 2lbs. The funny thing is...I've lost 2 inches off my waist and one from my hips! I guess that's a good thing, Right? Well I've been to the gym every day and today I did a circuit then one hour of cardio! I feel fantastic though! The heart burn has completely gone away and I'm now taking full doses of Hydroxycut Max with no other problems! Well that's about it for now! How are all of you other ladies doing? Best of luck to you all!
