Two weeks ago I ordered this box of misc. k-cups off Amazon.  It was fun to try new flavors but some of them didn’t work very well in our machine. It’s important to have nice smelling coffee when your’re cutting calories/macros.

Day One, Week Four of My Twelve Week Cut for My First Figure Competition.

Daily Weight/Weekly Average Weight:

It’s funny how your perception changes over time.  A year ago you couldn’t have convinced me that I could lose fat on 2000 calories a day. And, in all actuality, I couldn’t have. I was almost 30% body fat back then and I didn’t workout as long or as hard as I do now. Since January I’ve been eating over 25oo calories a day. Now that I’ve cut back down to 2000 I feel nervous and deprived (mentally). I’m not hungry. I’m just used to eating more so I have to reprogram my brain. After I eat a meal I literally have to tell myself, “You’re done now and it’s OK. You’re not full, but you’re not hungry either.” Because for the last couple of months I’ve been saying, “Oh look, your plate is empty. But, have more if you feel like it because your trying to put on muscle.”

Shoulder Envy!

Ben bought these 20 lb. ankle weights awhile ago. I think I rolled my eyes and said, “What are you going to do with 20 lb. ankle weights,” when they came in the mail. Now I use them almost every week! I use them for my abs, glutes, hips, and legs!

Still wearing my running shoes to lift.  I don’t think it’s too big of a deal but soon I’d like some new shoes for lifting and some for boxing!

“Um, Halo Top, I still Love You!” But, this stuff’s pretty damn good! I can’t wait to try all the flavors!

There’s this YouTube channel called Flexible Dieting Lifestyle. The host of the channel makes all kinds of macro friendly foods that have semi junky ingredients but will satisfy your high fat/sugar cravings without murdering your diet. I followed this recipe to make the above Protein Dessert Crunch Wrap.
