Planning on starting some sort of "diet" myself on Monday!! Although mine will be geared towards endurance/high performance, I'm hoping to drop some bf.

Miss-Missy - I'm gonna need you!!

Well ok time for a small update. Diet this week hasn't been the best, it hasn't been terrible but it's been hard for me to be focused, I think I'm playing this little mind game with myself, by saying ok well if I want "this" I better eat it now, cause come Jan. 2nd, there's no more time for a cheat.

As I look back on this year, I've set a goal, accomplished it and set a new goal, and not quite accomplished the second goal. What I mean by this is I gave myself a number (in which I should never have done, but hey you live and learn). Did I reach the number, no I don't think so, not after all is said and done. Am I disappointed yes sort of, not because I did not have reached the goal, but because I got carried away with it, and was alittle too hard on myself. I was actually in tears a few weeks ago when I realized by the time I take off this layer of fat, I will not have put on 10lbs. And that's when it hit me, I must be retarded to cry over this. I've just worked really hard for the past year, I mean when I'm in the gym I don't play around with girly weight, I'm a grey plates kinda girl (Sassy ).

Anyway what I'm trying to say is let this be a lesson to you ladies and the few men that check in on me , do not let a number define you, forget what the scale tells you, forget what those stupid little calipers tell you, pay attention to the way you look and the way you feel.

Although I mislead myself with the 10lb goal, I am extremely happy with the way my body looks, I am more proportioned that I've ever been in my life, and I'm excited to started shedding my layer of fat, to see how I looked when I'm leaner. So season 2 here I come, whether you're ready for me or not!!!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year, and thank you all for your constant support!

This is the reason I love these logs. We learn so much about others, and especially ourselves in the process!

You're such an inspiration to so many of us Miss24, and I for one would love to accomplish half of what you've done. Happy New Year and I'm truly looking forward to your log. I think I've decided on an October competition and will be looking to you, Sassy and others for guidance.

You know, I'm getting ready to start bulking and hearing you say this will stick in my mind for the duration of that time period. Mentally, going back and forth is really difficult. You know you're doing what you intended to, but sometimes "the wrong side of your brain" starts to take over. You're beautiful....you've worked hard.....you've made awesome gains....I'm so happy for you....don't cry anymore!!!
