I probably need to take pics from the same spot on the floor..The biggest differences I can see are the weight gain, the definition in my stomach, definition in my legs. My shoulders have gotten bigger but it's hard to see in this pic. Here's a pic of the triceps:
My little gun is so cute, right??? LOL
I have struggled a bit with my diet. Because I am on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for health reasons (meaning I can't just come off without repercussions), I am already so limited with what I can eat. Mostly I have chicken, veggies, and nuts, which is satisfying, but completely threw off my macro intake. I was eating too much fat and not enough carbs, but my protein was good. I tried to adjust it so that I would at least eat less fat and it just didn't work. I kind of decided at New Year that I wasn't going to worry about percentages, I was just going to eat enough to keep me satisfied calorically and with my tastebuds...maybe it means I will have to work out more or do more cardio, something, but the bottom line is I want to be happy with my diet and exercise regimen, not beating myself up over it. After all it's just a guide.
My next check in will be February 5th...wish me luck!!!
Oh and by the way...I'm going to be 37 this year (in just a few weeks really) and I'm proud of the changes I've made to keep myself healthy and looking youthful. I really do have my parents to thank for some awesome genes, but all that potential is worth nothing if I take it for granted.
