Preparing to delve into bodybuilding

I am at 25.06% body fat from 38% and I am trying to get to 12 - 15% boyfat by Spring. It's time to kick some serious Telly ass.   Been lifting kinda heavy for me. I have been hitting some all time highs with 65 - 95lbs in the arms muscle groups.   Legs - 235lbs leg press Squats - 100lbs (working on 155lbs)   As you can see by my pictures, I am not comfortable with anyone else taking my photos.   Short-term goal: Drop 15 - 20lbs by the first of the year Long-term goal: Drop 10-15% in body fat Long-term goal: Gain 5lbs of muscle         There is a shadow on my bicep, lol..in case you think it's muscle you see here. NOT!:speechles

110lbs? Is that too small? I don't know

I'm thinking I want to push for 110lbs but is that too small? I have no idea. I gotta figure out how fit, how much fat% I want to have etc. I'm lost. I'm about to get into some serious body building and I need to figure this out. Is it even important to be a certain weight?

Revamped my program

Made a new friend who happens to be a personal trainer as well as a recent former men's figure/fitness natural competition....checked out my program and also my food. I was doing some wrong things. He tweaked it a bit.   Here's my new regimine. I created a personal webpage for my transformation.   http://www.angelfire.com/crazy/tellytell/beginning/

Supplements I am taking..

A friend asked me..on another forum, what supplements I am taking.. thought I'd post them here for anyone who would like to know.   Fish Oil, 1,000 - has Omega 3's fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Helps to maintain heart and vascular health.   Nitro Explosion - Has creatine, glucuronolactone, vincamine, caffeine and keyt amino acids, including L-arginine which is an essential precursor of nitric oxide which helps maintain blood vessel tone. The formula is equipped with electrolytes that the body can lose during intense workouts. Electrolytes help to regulate body fluids and important functions, such as muscle contraction. So yeah.....it boosts workouts (taken 30 min before) and also helps speed up the recovery of your muscles   Biotin - helps promote growth and health of the hair, skin and nails.   GNC's Women's Ultra Mega ACTIVE multi-vitamin - (This is an awesome new product) - It's premium performance multivitamin formula is for active women. Energy production, electrolyte replacement, bone health and antioxident support.   MRM BCAA+G - An Amino Acid - You probably know that amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When you eat a protein food, it gets digested in the stomach and intestine into individual amino acids and short chains of amino acids that are small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream. These amino acids have far reaching effects in the body from building and repairing tissues, to producing chemicals that enable our brains to function optimally. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combinations of incomplete vegetable foods. There are 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids.   EAS - Phosphagen (I dont take this anymore but will again in a few months) Phosphagen from EAS uses carbohydrates for triggering insulin thereby transporting creatine more effectively. Apart from increased creatine delivery, Phosphagen increases cell volume and accelerates muscle gain. You should mix it well in water or juice and drink four servings for 5 days. Gradually decrease the intake to 1-2 servings in a day.   The phosphagens are energy storage compounds, also known as high energy phosphate compounds, are chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals. They allow a high energy phosphate pool to be maintained in a concentration range which, if it all were ATP, would create problems due to the ATP consuming reactions in these tissues. As muscle tissues can have sudden demands for lots of energy, these compounds can maintain a reserve of high energy phosphates that can kick in as needed, to provide the energy that could not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphagen   I drink:   Isopure - whey protein isolate (more pure and higher quality protein about 90-98% pure and less fat and lactose per serving)   Myoplex Lite - whey protein concentrate (concentrate - about 70-85% pure, the rest, fat and lactose)   Spiru-tein - soy protein - also known as a plant protein (phytoestrogens) which is a plant estrogen.   Lipo6 - Fat Loss excellerator - thermogenics     That's about it I think, lol...

Checking in and updating journal

Welp, I just finished Massage Therapy & Entero Lavage Therapy school and I'm all spent. Now I have to play "catch up" with my work load and get back into the groove of things as I prepare for the State Boards.   I worked out religiously most of my time in school with the exception of the last 3 weeks, where truthfully I have been in the gym, maybe 3 times. Tomorrow is back to the workout grind so that I can get my pump back.

Tummy Tuck

I had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo on 10/09/06 here in Tijuana with Dr. Romero. What a fantastic surgeon. I will go into depth a bit more once I am off of medication. The doc removed a bit over 4 kilos totaling 9lbs and 3lbs of fat sucked out. 12lbs total. I walk hunched over but I'm doing very well. Will report back with pictures.

Shaved my hair off with buzzer

I had to do this. My hair was falling everywhere in everything. I'm not mad. I'm rejoicing now.   First pic was my husband snipping my lock off the back and it made me look like I had a bob.   This pic is the fully finished buzz of #6.       This is me for the next few months, bandana girl!

167lbs today, hot damn!

I hope I can keep this momentum up. If I can, then I won't need a fill anytime soon. I think the last 10lbs will be the ass kicker and that's when the fill will come into play. WOOOOT:scared:

Does my ass look fat?

Ok, I have to post this. I bought some lacy boy undies. No this is not an attempT to audition for porn. It's just that I have an ass now and I need to see it on a screen so I can criticize it. :heh:   Only a select few of you will have access to this entry.

Eye on the prize

I don't know what it is about running that makes me feel free. It is not competitive. It's free from that. I feel things that I'd like to try and put into words. My heart races within me, fighting to beat through my chest. Beads drip down my neck. My eyes blinded by my own sweat. I feel free of pain. Free of worries. Further down, miles away, I feel some discomfort, pain echoes through me. Pain.. in my sides soon turns into numbing . The numb feeling goes away. My mind ignores it. My feet ... are they mine? I see my knee caps, one after another. My feet, a blurr. I don't know how fast I'm moving but I feel like I'm flying. My head, arms and legs moving in sync to the beat of the song in my iPod. "Turn it up" Chamillionare My arms move with full force, one after another, propelling me forward. Pulling myself forward, faster, harder. I'm growing stronger. I can see it, I've got my eyes on the prize. Miles go by and I'm still alive. The sun beams, burning the nape of my neck, my arms, my chest, my ankles. My sunglasses, shielding my eyes from the rays. Shielding bugs from my eyes. Miles pass by.. My heart races faster, it's not finished but I am for now... I breathe, focusing on my pace, talking my heart back down... I see the prize.....Telly
