Portions are crucial!!! That's my biggest problem too. I eat perfect- but I like a big full plate and a BIG glass of wine and yes cheese is just not worth not having! So what's a girl to do? Try cutting portions before removing taste. Measure your breakfast and lunch and relax more at dinner. Your cardio may need a boost. Power sessions like sprints, hill repeats and explosion exercises go a long way in body transformation. And if you really want that mid section toned- you gotta do core work often. 4 times a week. It doesn't even take all tha much, but you gotta do it. 15-20 min a day of abdominals and planks makes a big difference. I promise.Dreahttp://www.twomotivate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036849222834711493.post-52758651599605602012-07-04T11:28:56.357-07:002012-07-04T11:28:56.357-07:00Girl, I wish my back side looked like that! But I ...Girl, I wish my back side looked like that! But I get it. I totally do. I just signed up for a strength class that runs biggest loser style with weigh ins etc. I will probably be the "thinnest" one there but not fittest or toned and that is my goal. <br /><br />And I cannot agree more about the portion control thing post kids. For me, it was also post marriage!

You look great. Life's too short to pick apart your body because you will always find something to be unsatisfied with. Look at the big picture and just keep doing what you are doing!!

It's maddening and frustrating. I'm on a mission to get rid of it.<br /><br />But I do have to chime in with Erin and sway I had to look before I figured out what you were talking about:)<br /><br /><br />Later.Dlaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521734646859607687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036849222834711493.post-71807118484352754262012-07-02T08:08:59.527-07:002012-07-02T08:08:59.527-07:00I think we are definitely our own harshest critics...I think we are definitely our own harshest critics. I am being completely honest when I say I had to look at the picture for awhile and very closely to realize what you were even talking about - and, I think the general nature of fitting run gear isn't flattering to anyone (especially once soaked in sweat and they cling to you for dear life). I know it's not on me. I wouldn't have noticed anything in the picture had I not been trying to search it out, but I understand where you are coming from (I always feel extremely self conscious at triathlons decked out in spandex, especially with the fitness level at some of those races).Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340924185821811736noreply@blogger.com
