I've been down up and back....it's a never ending journey, but I'm getting there. SLOOOOWLY

Holy moly, I want to be just like you when I grow up! What types of workouts/nutrition did you need to maintain to get to pic #1. I want to be 80 years old and be able to whip out a pic like that and tell my grandkids a mean tale lol! You look amazing in all your photos BTW.

YOU ARE WAY TOO SWEET, thank you. Actually brought a tear to my eye because I've been STRUGGLING SO HARD since competing. THANK YOU.

The first pic was about 10-11 months after I had my daughter (after losing the final baby weight I was holding onto, 16lbs).....here's what I blogged about it back then...

I started on the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 DVD. I did the workout 5 days a week with two rest days for 4 weeks straight. I also went to Roller Derby practice twice a week and those practices are 2.5 to 3 hours long!

My diet during Ripped in 30: stuck to 1200 calories a day and didn't cheat at all.

After Ripped in 30 I looked like this from left to middle pic:

Then I went on to try Jillian Michaels Shed and Shred..did that for a week and it bored me..so I stopped. Then I started Jillian Michaels Killer Buns & Thighs. I got an injury to the knee at a derby game and had to stop that before getting a full week in. All the while still attending my derby practices and playing two games a month.

My diet during this time: Upped them at some point to 1300, then 1500 and having ONE cheat day ONLY a week where I eat whatever I want.

I then decided to start P90X...first 3 weeks I did it religiously..but now I just pop any workout in..whichever I feel like doing. Also all the while still attending my derby practices and playing two games a month.

My diet during this time: Upped them again to 1600 + one cheat day.

A week before hitting goal I lowered my Carb intake to between 25-35 (sometimes go over a bit) per day!! I am now maintaining by doing this during the week and relaxing some over the weekend. I may go up to 150-200 carbs, sometimes more on Sat/Sun. And then back to the grind on Monday!

This is my final result, from middle to right pic:

FOR NOW, til I can start working out at a gym with weights again!! Which will hopefully be next month when we move into a condo downtown with a gym in it!!! I'm sooo EXCITED to get back to strength training!!!
