The Twins Throwing Everything Off!

Didn't get a chance to post last night, but once again I managed to stay within my calorie max of 1500. I unfortunately wasn't able to make it to the gym in the morning so I rushed there after work and got my workout done in 30 minutes! Let me just say now, I needed that hoyer lift TODAY more than yesterday --- I swear people parking next to me or near me at all during the day must think I have Tourette's syndrome. I've actually apologized to people for my constant wining "oooooo"s "ow"s and profanity. I didn't take my amino acids or take my post workout protein like I should have and this is what I get for being ignorant! For all who don't know much about working out or supplements, amino acids are the building blocks of protein and protein helps build muscle! Amino acids help with the recovery aspect as well and most proteins have a bunch of aminos in them. The trainer I met with, nice man named Kenny, took a look at my workout and claims I'm doing too much/more than I need. With that being said I would be someone who SHOULD take additional aminos on the side. The faster absorbing and less calories in the protein the better, hence wheybolic extreme 60! Most lean proteins are about 130 calories for 20 grams of protein. Seeing as though your body can absorb up to 40 as a post workout that is 260 calories... Wheybolic is only 90cal/20g protein totaling 180 calories and only 1 should and 4 carbs (woohoooo!) My additional aminos I get in my preworkout PumpHD. Its a 3:1 combo of stimulants for energy, aminos for recovery and electrolytes to stay hydrated. Ive got the diet and the working out down, the daily supplements with food, now need to remember my workout supplements too; feeling like youre 95 at 21 is absolutely awful! The happiest part of coming home exhausted are the hugs and kisses I receive, ESP from my little pup :)
Today I met with Kenny for my fitness analysis... We discussed my goals, my routine, my strategy, weighed me and got my body fat %. I am currently at 23.5% body fat at 140lbs. That's actually on the lower side of the scale (lower the better) in the AVERAGE range for most girls my age but something still seemed off. My boss and a few close friends and coworkers agreed that "the twins" are def throwing off the reading. They definitely don't make my life any easier! Hell I need to strap the suckers down so they dont wear/knock me out, suffocate me or get in the way of my exercising. For those who think I'm joking, go watch a video of Jessica Simpson trying to golf at the driving range... As much as I want to laugh I feel the girls pain! I'm not going to sit here and say I'm fat or gross or disappointed but in order to be "competition ready" I need to be at least 16% body fat. With that being said I am going to minimize my carbs even further.
Tomorrow I'm back to legs and abs again at the gym. Last night and today was shoulders/triceps/biceps/back. I definitely could have done more back exercises so depending on how long it takes me tomorrow morning I may just throw on some extra back exercises. I'm going to start taking progress pictures 2x a week to give my followers and myself an idea of how much work I have to do and how effective my routines and regimens are. Ill be taking a picture first thing in the am when I'm not so bloated from all of this eating!

I hope my posts are inspiring, entertaining and informative. If you don't like what I have to say and want to just stalk my life and whisper to yourself (seems to be the trend these days) that's cool too but Do the mature thing and keep it to yourself. Otherwise, I've gotten a lot of positive and motivating feedback from family, friends and even just acquaintances. If anyone has any questions just ask away and I will be sure to answer them the best I can! You can FB me or comment on here with a google account :) thanks to you who thave only given me positive feedback. They really do make my day!
Any whooo, my break at work is over; 'tis time for me and 'the twins' to get back to work!
