carb rotation

That's what I've been doing and I'm down just over 8% body fat from the begining of December. That and all the lifting....somewhat mininal cardio as I'm not a big cardio fan. 
I tend to carb up on leg day especially or else I feel really dizzy. I think you have to figure out what works the best for you.

I'm SO happy. I'm so happy I could just dance a little dance right here in the middle of my office....and I would but my leg day on Saturday has caused me to walk around like I'm severely crippled. No dancing for joy today-- I'm considering buying a walker. 
I'm going to post pics when I'm feeling brave. It's just insane how happy my body seems to be responding to all of this. Considering that I was on a 700 calorie/day diet last summer it's wild that I drop all the fat from eating 1800-2000 cals a day. I did easy my calorie intake up though-- it was VERY hard on me mentally. However, whenever I'm feeling guilty for eating, I simply check out my body in a mirror and remember that what I'm doing is working.
My pants fit all stupid. It's fun. They're tight in the quads and falling off of me on the waist and hips. It's fabulous. I've been limited on my squatting due to my back injuries flaring up but my leg press has pulled up 140 pounds in the past 2 weeks. Surprises the hell out of me. I'm gonna back off on inceasing my legs for a while because my arms aren't moving as fast. My chest is making big gains every week. I'm seriously SO proud of myself. Finally.
I'm currently 5'7, 140, about 17% body fat. It was So high before because I was feeding on my lean mass and binging on refined sugar. What a great way to build fat. Ideally I'd like to get to 12% body fat and 150 pounds. Everyone at work or at home who hears me say that thinks I've flipped. Luckily I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks.
