Mim: your pics look amazing. You have the long lean legs to pull off shorty shorts for sure. It seems you’ve reached a point where you get to wear whatever you want. How lovely!
MiM -
Just chiming in-- you have worked extremely hard the past couple years and it shows in what is an amazing transformation.
Astounding.
Keep up the great work.
D
Looking good MIM!
Look great to me MiM. I agree that you need to go with whatever you feel comfy and sexy in… It’s all about hwo you feel.
yeah, looking great! i got some stretch marks over my hips, too. since puberty. i suspect a tan would make them less noticeable - but i’ve never tried it. i also suspect that other people would barely notice them even though i’m massively self conscious about them. i think you can get make-up that is designed specifically to help conceal those kind of marks. i’ve never tried it - but i have heard some people swear by it. i’m kind of a fan of boy shorts, too 
Thanks everyone!!! I’m still going to buy regular suit bottoms just in case…maybe in a few more months I’ll feel ok!
SteelyD- what a nice surprise…and thanks!!
check back in another couple years…I keep getting better!
Training:
–Bench- 4x8x75***narrower grip is definitely harder, but thats all I can do on my bench…I think it hits the pecs more anyway…not that I need bigger pecs 
–Neutral grip laundry basket rows, lol- 4x8x85
db flys- 3x12
chins 3x12
like 1,000 air step pumps to get my ball filled, haha…
reverse hypers
reverse planks
bis tris
starting to get bored of food. This diet isn’t hard for me will power wise though…just not used to eating this much protein(have I said that like 5,000 times already?)
Starting in Sept I am going to take the time to reset my metabolism if you will…I don’t even know what my maintainence cals are…and I don’t recall eating over 1600-1800 (aside from refeeds) in the last 4 years.
MiM, you look great! Strut your stuff, girl! I love your curves (If it makes you feel better, I probably need a tan more than you do! haha)
Good luck with the protein! I’m upping mine, too.
Thanks L!
getting more protein is hard at this amount. Eating big in fewer sittings makes it a little better instead of having a million mini-meals a day.

Does it feel like you permanently have meat stuck in your teeth these days? LMAO
And your pics are looking GREAT! You have such a nice iddy bitty waist!
Thanks girlfriend! lol
I took a vid of my front squats so I can hear the crazy sound my knee makes…its gross. At least it doesn’t hurt anymore.
Sometimes I wonder if just because, say for instance, jogging doesn’t hurt, should I still do it?
The damage to the cartilage is already done.
Lunch was yummy…I impressed myself!
Ground turkey
green chile sauce
small can of green chiles
LOTS of cilantro
lime
on top of shredded lettuce and a dallop of sour cream on top
I’m busy all of a sudden…daughter is feeling better.
Did I mention she came down with a nasty stomach bug? even took to the ER last Friday.
Now I’m feeling rundown hoping it’s not ‘the crud.’
Trained someone last night and have to go back tonight to start back with the mom/daughter duo I had before…only this time they will train individually.
The other girl I am working with is the former PL’er and it’s fun!! You can tell she is very competitive…I even got her under the bar and it warmed my heart. <3
You look beautiful and I think the boyshorts look is adorably sexy!

You know BW plyos WAY underrated in this forum IMO. So good job.
Also, Im a fan of the donkey piss and kicks…make like you’re going for the fire hydrant, and then extend your leg. This makes me hurt.
As you would say, MiM “Feel the buuuuuuurn!!!” You know I love me some Fonda. Great stuff. Stealing it.
Congrats on the clients! Training a PLer - how cool!
Hmm lunch sounds delish.
What a workout! So… volume-y
Wheel in the sky keeps on turning?
Thanks People! The mom/daughter duo cancelled at the last minute…so I got to vacuum and play outside instead.
Bre- yay, was wonderin when you were going to stop in *kicks dirt, :blushes:
don’t tell anyone, but I’ve been doing plyometrics …and its fun! Just gotta go by how the knees are feeling…
I’m probably doin pushups wrong… I’m investing in some push up bar things…I really want to get good at them.
Mashy-every time I do stuff like that I think of you and Jane Fonda…and you know she is STILL going at it?? To be funny, I think I will actually get one of her videos.
Hey Nikki- sorry, I ate it all!! yep, I likes the volume too
That BW session today looks pretty tough. Nice job.
Been tire flippin’ lately? I <3 that you do that! Super badass MiM!
Glad you are considering stepping out of your bathing suit comfort zone. You work hard, show it off!
Just catchin’ up with your log Mims. The Creole dish looks really good. You asked if I had tried the cream-sicle shake? Not yet. Bottle of pop still sitting on counter. I’ll let you know. You said you’ve WAY upped your protein. What’s your target?
Oh, and the swimsuit pics are looking really good. You’ve got some beautiful long legs with hammies to match your quads even. Very nice. If you’re going full-throttle eating clean, I’d be careful about buying clothes just yet. You may end up going down a size or two by summer. You look great!
