Happy Tuesday Roony!!

You too, girl! It was so nice to wake up and see this first thing in the morning. I hope your Tuesday is going well too!

Calories and food looking good today!!!

I love my training day macros!! I’ve hoping to lift 4x this week as well if I can get to the gym on Sunday, so I get to eat this much for that many days.

I felt inspired today to enjoy a sweet potato on your behalf.

I made sweet potato "fries", sliced up and sprayed with EVOO cooking spray, some paprika, cumin, curry... super good! Yum yum yum.

I can't believe YOU are managing to eat so clean right before the holidays! I mean, my diet is cleaned up, but STILL!

Have a happy day, sister.

I had to post this. I had enquired about the buffet menu at my NYE bash, and the organizer emailed me back knowing that I’m into fitness (I did the bachelorette gig for their date auction charity gala at their last large event) and told me she could have a special meal prepared for me if I just told her what I would like. I was floored – it just goes to show that if you’re dedicated enough, people do notice and try to help you out. After a lot of thought though, I decided not to request for one. It’s NYE and I feel a cheat meal is in order and I've already planned for it. So as much as I was tempted to go the grilled chicken and baked potato route, I passed. I hope I am not here on New Yrs Day typing about how much my stomach hurts and how sick and bloated I feel though

You are so me. You have the tools right there to be the best... but food is just... oh man alive, do I food!!!

I think you're doing the right thing, and honestly, on NYE (assuming you don't drink too much and lose all judgement you have!), you're going to keep in mind the whole night "Man, I do NOT want the big bloat tomorrow!"

It's so funny -- when I was obese/overweight, I had never SEEN myself bloated because you couldn't tell. NOW I can tell within HOURS or half a day and I HATE it! Now I know why women complained all this time! I know avoiding that feeling will be my underlying goal for Christmas, if I do have one.

That's great that they offered though. Tell them you are specially requesting a whole sheetcake in your honor -- extra frosting.

You crack me up, girl! Too funny

Your sweet potato fries sound yummy! I just bought a little under 3 pounds of sweet potatoes today to take me through the week. I think my grocery store thinks I shop for a small village at the rate I go through fish, chicken and veggies these days

WOW!!! x12 -- That is an INSANE workout! So am I reading this right -- you did push-ups between every SET... or every move change (i.e. between bench presses and the next move).

OUTSTANDING! I am having trouble personally developing my lateral delts -- my anterior and posterior delts are great and my traps are big too... but I can't seem to find the right move to get my lateral delts capped with the rest. Ideas?

I did push-ups right after every set before resting to do the next set, so yes, in between sets. I did just under 200 push-ups throughout the whole workout. It was a great way to exhaust the muscles that much further. I have to say I enjoyed the variation.

As for lats, I'm sure you already do this, but side db raises are what I do most. I change it up by varying the tut, sometimes just doing a ¾ motion or better yet negatives (use heavy dbs where you need someone to help you raise them to shoulder level & then bring it down very slowly to just 2 inches away from your side). You can also lift dbs to shoulder level and have someone press down while you resist the motion. All the other typical shoulder work, especially shoulder presses, help too. Go as heavy as you can. But essentially, it just takes a LOT of time and consistency like everything else. I always use the analogy that I'm waiting for my delts to cap like a two year old waiting for his front two teeth...and right now, I'm still only at the stage where they're edging out of the gums and I can feel them with my tongue

miss motivator!

Awww, you're too sweet, JL! I hope your Wed is going well
