Looking solid girl!!

Looks really good! Keep goin! And yeah: cardio sucks! That's why i don't do it!

Chest and bis. not gonna log the whole work out but notable was 45lbs press x8 twice then 7 reps for my last set, then dips unassisted 10 for most of my sets supersetted with super close grip chins 6, 5, 5, 54... however i gained like two lbs overnight i dont know how. yesterday 120.5 and then like 123.5 but maybe cause i woke up at 5 and had oatmeal coffee and water...i dunno, cheat meal tonight, chipotle ice cream chocolate cookies weight wont stabilize until weekend oh well. oh and cardio was 15% incline 3.5 mph for 60 seconds then 4.7 mphs for 60 seconds until the end... surprised myself..

ate enough to pass out at the movies!!

10 pull ups
trainer mad weight not dropping...

Hmm... any ideas why you're not losing weight at the moment? Can't imagine you're not training/burning calories enough...

artificial sweetener maybe. so i cut it...i only had 4 packets yesterday cut down my extend too...121 today, three pounds down from yesterday.

If it's really because of the artificial sweetener, it can only be water that you're retaining... so as long as you're not very close to the contest i wouldn't take it too seriously...

there is debate about its effect on blood sugar and insulin and crap. i want to flush as much crap out of my body so i dont feel like i look bloated. and i want to stop being gassy by the time i get to the gym at night..im still drinking diet soda lol. i guess i want to experiment and see how this goes....my trainer has said before i should limit it, and its been the hardest thing to give up and for some reason i had the will power to start yesterday so ill give it a go. if anything it will save me money and cut down on all the wrappers everywhere lol.

bench 115x10

Looks good! Starting to see some shape in your legs! Thumbs up!

By the way: this discussion about artificial sweetener and its influence on insulin levels has been spooking for a long time now... but i think it was never proven to be true. Anyway, most competitors will try to stay away from it, just to be on the safe side...

cardio changed to 25 low intensity in the morning, 20 HIT after lifting. Still strong, chest press 45lbs x 8 yesterday... 8 pull ups the day before...hoping to be 119 by sunday...some new small veins horizontal across inner biceps, more prominent in right shoulder, forearms ridiculous, and veins in lower stomach coming out too. abs visible. but i still need to drop like 8 lbs, 10.5 weeks..and epic cheat sunday night...

Great! I think you'll be in shape at the right time!

feeling like death. hopefully that means im dropping weight...
