dieting shmieting…I think I’ll call it a day next week sometime…school break starts Sunday…and the older kiddo is out of school on Tuesday…
Before getting all complicated with carb cycling, Im just going to focus on eating as clean as possible…slowly adding back in carbs and good fats…mmmm fruit and nuts! And log it all in every few days to see where Im at…
Sounds great mim! You have had a year to be proud of.
Thanks again!
And look, I have LATS! 
Wow you really do!
you made kick ass progress this year, girlfriend! you should be VERY proud.
good idea on focus on clean eats before you go on another regimen…i think that will be a nice mental break, and then you can start up again.
i’m in the same boat…i can’t (or won’t, i should say!) even attempt to stick to an eat plan aside from clean eats as much as possible…let’s see what we can do here in a month or so…
I got my WHOOSH!!!
182.5!!
Do I dare tempt my sanity and go for the next 2-3 pounds? hmmm

WAY to Go!
Thank you!
I was bored last night so I figured out rough cals and stuff for carb cycling…
High- -160P 225C 40F
Moderate-160P 155C 40F
Low- 160P 85C 40F
I’ll start in January and take the rest of December to just enjoy eating clean without counting…I’ll try to push this diet into next week to see if I can get to 179-180…but Im starting to get that run down blah feeling 
Btw- doesnt Biotest still do 3 day shipping? They sure were quick to take muh money, but I still haven’t got another email saying its been shipped ;<
speaking of the devil!
Fed ex guy just dropped of a present…without even ringing the doorbell either, strange!
Hmm, so I guess it takes 3 whole days, and on the 4th day you get it your order…I kept looking for that email but never got one! oh well…ho ho ho my HOT-ROX is here!
Yeah girl! Indeed, nice lats - and nice tats!
Sounds like a brilliant plan, taking the rest of December off and just eating clean - i may just do the same.
Ill be interested to see what your new regimen looks like
Nice progress on the weight and the killer back! Watch out for the raspberry ketone burps with the HOT-ROX…
I did get rasberry burps, how funny!
I really like the HOT-ROX…they just make me feel more awake…hard to describe…
I decided to ween off dieting for awhile though…been doing it since August!
I am thankful for finding RFL, and know that I can use it to fall back on at a later time, if need be…In total I’ve lost 30 lbs since August
Im going to spend the rest of December eating clean, and adding more cardio back in! My conditioning SUCKS right now…
In Jan Im going to start 5/3/1, (you may have heard of it) 
I’m also going to do some carb cycling
We’ll see how things are looking towards the spring…
I need to take new pics! Last ones I posted were of me at 192…Im 182 now. Its still possible to get to 179 on my own(without hardcore dieting) by Jan 25th…
We got snow last night!! And its still snowing!
Not unheard of , but the amount we got is!!..I think there must be at least 6 inches on the ground right now!
Perfect day to try out some new recipes:
Honey almond loaf (like a bread)
Curried acorn squash
Gotta go through all the kids’ toys to make room for the new ones as well! Tomorrow I WILL finish xmas shopping!! Ah, I have an assignment due too for school, blah…but will be the last one til Jan 4th!!
We’ve even had snow here in England (just a dusting in London - it didn’t settle thank goodness. Snow is pretty but it makes it hard to walk!). It’s really cold though - zero degrees C right now (which is freezing point, if you’re trying to work out the farenheit). Brrr.
mim,
Just caught up with your pictures. You look fantastic, strong, powerful, AND curvy. That’s the way to do it.
I admire you.
Statistically speaking 182.5 = 180, so I would declare success and set your next goals.
Thanks A!!
Explain these stats a little more! 
I’ll probably rebound back up to 185 for a few days until the water stuff works itself out…
But thats ok! I just won’t way myself for awhile…as long as my pants are fitting, I don’t really care ;}
And can I just say that acorn squash and chickpeas never tasted so good?!
Actually it was the first time I ever ate them together, but I loved it! I want to incorporate more plant based meals during the day and save the meat for dinner.
Well, if you take the arithmatic mean and apply a 3 sigma confidence interval, taking into account the inherent uncertainty and the fact that your scale probably hasn’t been calibrated to an international standard by a qualified professional in years… there’s a 95% chance you weigh 180.
Guess what I currently do for a living.
