OK so we're moved and settled in, my son just turned 2 on Monday, I bought a brand new peice of cardio equipment today and I'm ready to roll! Fresh start! ok so i've been slacking on my nutrition and not working out really at all, i've also found out I definitely have a gluten intolerance possibly celiac, but no sweat! I've been off the wheat and gluten for 4 weeks now and I think my body is use to the change so time to incorporate my love of fitness and bodybuilding .I"ll stop putting this off and post my new numbers and goals

- currently -

Height- 5'1"

Belly button-31"

goals-
BY the end of 1st week- track all of my meals, meet my protein needs lose some water pudge, lose an inch off of my waist from water retention from all the potatoes and beans and rice I've been eating . Repost my weight and body fat. Start utilizing this supportive community more!!!

oh hahaha! my badddd, proshake is jsut 1 scoop of protein(soy/rice/hemp whatever ) with 8 oz water, i make my own shorthand up. and a vegan msucle milk is something i concocted that is almost nutritionally the same as a muscle milk shake. I use 1 scoop of chocolate soy protein, 1 tablespoon peanut butter(we grind out my store, dry roasted peanuts nothing else) and 2 Tablespoons of ricemellow. it comes out to about...
calories-255
protein-28
carbs-14
fat-9

and is superrrrr delicious!!!

ok today was kinda lame, my son came in my room at 5 am wanting to play. its hard to reason with a 2 year ols when you are dead tired and can hardly move your arms from demolishing them 7 hours earlier. so no workout today
12/22
1.1 gf waffle, 1 t pb, 1 serv ricemellow(i need to watch this stuff)
2.1 protein shake
3. 1 serving tofu egg salad(super easy and fast) with 8 oz gf mac and cheese
4. 1 protein
5. 1 T PB 1 serv rice mellow, 2 servings sauted veggies

Ricemellow?

It's like you live in some foreign land where all the foods have different names!

I love the way you set out your goals. Family stuff can get so in the way for me- it's been my struggle for a long time. Looks like you're ready to kick some butt, from the way you posted these first goals! How's it going? and... what's your recipe for tofu egg salad?
