[puccah8808]

Yum! I've tried the other flavors and they were gross. I only liked the strawberry but can't find it anymore.

Really? This one was good! I haven't tried any others yet! I have seen the strawberry though!

Good morning! Decided to switch things up with my diet and give IF a shot. I'm ready to drop this fat and maintain for a while! I feel like I'm totally dragging and very weak! I don't feel like I'm in that big of a deficit...

Workout was great this morning bedsides feeling like a weakling...cut the volume today as well. I like being able to squeeze cardio in afterwards.

Nice work, cutie.

I have mixed feelings on IF. I did it a while back and leaned up quite a bit, but think it slowed growth for sure.

I would like my growth to chill for now! I seem to be adding instead of cutting. Lol I have been reading some things on how it effects women differently than men. Guess we will see how it works. If it doesn't, we will just keep tweaking until something does.

well after looking at your AVi,... cutie!

Cute eh? That's not what I would call it. Lol It's pretty freakin sexy to me!!

Cutie, sexy, hot, and let us not forget: beastmode yep.... both of you lol

thank you Simon!

 

[love2liftkat]

Good morning! Bumped the volume back up today because I plan on doing cardio at lunch. I really enjoyed it! Back has got to be my favorite muscle group to train! Workout was great! Dropped the weight on some of the exercises to slow down the reps a lot! Really felt everything light up!! Scale is not budging so far but I am feeling leaner. I have to work on being happy with my body each step of the way! I can't just keep waiting to reach "that perfect point" before I appreciate my progress! The negative thoughts are not helping me. So I am going to start being more positive and thankful for how far I've come so far.

Who needs cardio with that work of 2 giant sets and no breaks...

 

[love2liftkat]

Thanks guys! It felt good today!

 

[RegisterJr]

Ooooh, check out those legs.

Meadows' always wind me, too.

 

[love2liftkat]

Lol thanks Thomas! They're growing!!

 

[turff49]

The shorts definitely add to the vid! Really shows how awesome your overall physique is! Superb workout Kat, and drop sets on Meadows is cardio in of itself.
Your transformation over the past year is truly remarkable. Personally I think you've hit the elite status. Definition in all muscle groups and that is just so hard for females in general! Pat yourself on the back for me!!!!!!!

 

[love2liftkat]

Thank you so much Brian!!! That's so very sweet!!

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

Ooooh, check out those legs.

[love2liftkat]

I don't know what I did to my back but man does it hurt! I couldn't sleep due to the pain so I got up and have been rolling and stretching trying to work it out! It hurt like this about a year ago. The source is somewhere in the glutes/lower back area.

I got in and did my best! Was a little slower moving between sets than usual but took me about 45 mins so not too bad. Switched things up anytime it bothered my back.

Warmed up with 5 mins on free motion elliptical

Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! I ended up having to take a Vicodin a couple of nights in order to sleep because of my back. Luckily it's feeling about 80% now...

On my way to the gym I was trying to decide whether to give my back another day or not… Got to the gym and realized I didn't have my bag with my straps, chalk, ear buds or anything so… It became a push day. Lol

I have been getting to dunk extra bcaas since I'm doing IF! I love it! It's like having koolaid every day!

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

how is the IF treating you? ive been doing it for awhile now and its easy to follow but I cant honestly say its any better than other diets.

 

[love2liftkat]

It's going ok right now...haven't noticed any major differences yet except it seems like I'm eating plenty until I log it and realize I didn't get in near enough calories.

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

yeah... I find my self eating a lot more junk to get closer... I go through the BCAAs like a sumnabish to

 

[wasme]

I have never tried IF but always thought about it.. As far as bcaa's go .. I have a 2L jug in the fridge that has 3 scoops of BCAA/SAA in it that is my go to when i need a drink.

 

[love2liftkat]

Yeah I'm gonna have to super stock up on Finaflex bcaas or active Aminos

 

[Rocket3015]

I love the BCAA/SAA !!

 

[turff49]

Just drank 2 gallons with 5 scoops on my 11hr drive today. I feel great! Lol

Today was a scheduled rest day but I went in this morning and did 45 mins of cardio stairs, rowing and a little elliptical. Then followed up with some yoga, stretching, and abs. I'm finding with IF I am quite hungry in the mornings and the bcaas are my saving grace! Crazy thing is, by lunch, hunger isn't too bad. Lol
