Week 1 down of Bill Phllips Transformation

So, I didn't post last week because I was trying to get the hang of this. Regarding food, it was only a tweak here and thing and careful thinking regarding macronutrients I'm consuming. Lots of careful planning involved to get the hang of it. I took a few pics along the way to share....

Chicken tortilla soup with Avocado and cauliflower rice.

Protein strawberry and banana "ice cream". Low cal, low fat, high protien.

Lunch prep...strawberries, chicken salad, fruit water. The green tea and lemon is for the morning.

My husbands morning snack. I was surprised at how good these were

Crockpot chicken is our meal next week... Yummy

The pie charts above come from Bodybuilding.com because I didn't know what my goal should be for macronutrients. I decided to go with the first pie chart for body building. I was between that and fat loss. I am only 4 pounds away from my first goal weight. So I still would like to lose at least that but I am shifting my focus to muscle gain so I really don't know what to expect to be honest regarding my weight. That's why I think I am finally, for the first time ever, ok with not setting a second goal weight. I was going for a visual change and inches lost. People have advices me to do that all along but I wasn't ready. I'm finally ready for it. 

I'll post my week two meal plan soon. 

Now here's hoping this week's workouts won't kill me like it almost did last week!

Bill Phillips Obsession

So, I've had this Body for Life book on my shelf for years....I mean probably 10 years. I just decided to pick it up and read it yesterday since I'm a few pounds from what I am beginning to think will end up being my ORIGINAL goal weight.

I mean, I'm 70 pounds down. Who wouldn't be happy? I am. But I know I can do more with my body. I've lost fat and I feel like instead of reaching the end of the tunnel I have just realized I am wrapping up phase 1. Enter phase 2....transformation.

Which leads me to my Bill Phillips obsession. All practical, aligned with what I have been teaching myself through bodybuilding.com articles, pinterest and fitness blogs. Good stuff. Something I can seriously see myself do. Very aligned with my next steps anyway, so reading the book wasn't blowing my mind. Almost like it was timed for me to read it right when I did. By the way, I read it in less than 24 hours and I have been scouring the bodybuilding page with all of this info and want to start ASAP.

He's got me wanting to pose in a brand new "before" picture. Instead of feeling discouraged that my before picture is what was supposed to be the end of my weight loss journey and the begin of maintenance mode, I'm feel excited to see where I can push this.
