following: alliecat777's own diet
performance: losing 8.4 lb a week

I've realized I can do this. No matter how hard it is or how long it takes, I will lose 86 pounds. It's slow, and it's hard, but I'm building a stronger, healthier me in the process. How can that be a bad thing?

I'm a wife, step-mother to two boys, and mom to two cats and two parakeets and grandmother to a bunny rabbit. I turned 30 in December and realized there is no better time than now to turn my life around. I started my weight loss adventure in May 2012 after taking a good long look at myself in the mirror without clothes on and without trying to suck anything in. Talk about an "ah ha" moment! I've always wanted to get down to 130. This time, I will. No turning back and no giving up!

Light Headed on Leg Day

Light Headed on Leg Day
I am not doing low carb. I have protein and carb at almost every meal. Lots of frittatas with veggies, ezekiel bread, chicken, brown rice, almonds, etc. I have been doing advocare meal replacement shakes for breakfast, which is the only not clean food I have, other than the protein shakes I added this week due to the increased intensity of my workouts.

Light Headed on Leg Day
I don't rush through my exercises. When I watch the guys at the gym I'm always shocked how fast they go. I go slow and steady. The program I am doing just started incorporating active rests, so the other day I had to do single leg squats on the smith machine, 15 on each leg, then go straight to jump roping for 1 minute for 3 sets, or 15 leg presses then 15 squat jumps for active rest. I rest a few minutes between sets that don't have active rest, and for several minutes after sets with active rest (and sometimes during the set). I don't drink caffeine-only water for this girl. I go through a liter of water a workout. Thank you for the input, Erika! I appreciate it.

Light Headed on Leg Day
Okay guys, I have a question. On leg days I get SUPER light headed with all the squats, lunges, and jumping. I seem to be okay until I stop, and then I get really weak and light headed. I never workout on an empty stomach, so I don't think it has to do with that. It has to do with the going up and down (it happened today with burpees, too). Does anyone have any suggestions on something I can do? I've never enjoyed squats and lunges, but I REALLY dread them now because I know they are going to be twice as hard.

It's the little things that make me happy...I'm almost under 180 at night. :) Once I get into the 170's at night I know I'm not going back to the 180's. ...
