Callie's Lifestyle Transformation

Hey Callie, congrats on all the losses! Excellent job on the working-out. I really must follow your lead.

This year I've been laying off the tanning. Normally I have a golden brown tan all summer but this year I just haven't focused on it, I guess because I have a baby now. It sort of frees me up more now! LOL But my baby's complexion is a bit darker so she picks up a tan instantly like you.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing more about how things are going. What do you usually eat?
 
Thanks for stopping by Blancita!

This morning I was down .2 lb so I am at 162 now. I am excited about getting to the 150's:)

I usually eat about 1 cup- 1.4 cups rice dry (which translates to a lot when you cook it) per day depending on if it's a low day or high, I eat lots of almonds, some sweet potatoes (on high days) eggs whites, tuna, chocolate or vanilla whey protein powder (which I mix with my sweet rice and it is soo yummy and creamy), veggies, I take a superfood green supplement to get in extra nutrition, on higher days I also have my delicious Isagenix chocolate shakes which I swear have replaced ice cream in my book they are so creamy and yummmmmmy!

I eat all day long, 5-6 times a day. I still am at only 2 cardios per week, trying for 4-5 short resistance sessions (t-tapp, not weights usually).

So anyway, life is going good, I'm just chugging along. Some days it seems like time is standing still but then I get on the scale and surprise! a new low! The scale weight really means nothing because I weighed 156 a few years ago at size 12, now I am 162 at size 10. Hahahahaha!!!! Can hardly wait for size 8!!!!! Dang:) My arms are really looking muscley especially my delts and triceps. I KNOW I am going to be lean and small at the end of this semester! And I'll be able to eat lots of food like I want to!! Yay!!

On another note- I had my first voice lesson today and I am super pumped- my range has been really low for awhile although in hs I was able to sing mezzo soprano. my teacher explained to me that cheerleading taught me to use my voice in my throat and lower body instead of keeping it in my head, face area. Just with todays lesson I am already singing higher and it sounds so much prettier and pure. I am very excited. Now I'm off to an interview for my school's mock goverment legistature competition team. I love mock trial- it's absolutely exhilerating!
 
sigh... i wish i could sing. not that it stops me :p i'm sure other people wish i could sing even more than i do! oh well, they'll deal with it...

congrats on your losses! keep it up :)
 
Oh gosh, you're funny. I say sing anyway!!

I dropped to 160.6 yesterday morning. Now I am almost to 10lbs lost of fat!! Yowee!

Today is my low day/cardio day and so I'll be heading to the gym sometime tonight.
 
I have officially dropped another 1% point in Bodyfat. That makes 5% down since the start.

Last night I saw him for the first time since may. Aghhhhhhhhhh.....we had a fight night with amateur boxing at my church (I know it sounds kind of random, but it was really fun) and he came into town for that. gah. I'm awful.

For cardios I do PACE, 3 min warm up, 2 min. at 9 intensity, 1 min rest, 2 min at 9, 1 rest, 1:30 min at 11, 1 rest, 1:30 at 11, 1 rest, then 1 min at 13, 1 rest, 1 min at 13, 1 rest, 30 sec running hard, 1 min rest, 30 sec, 1min rest, 15 sec run, 1 min rest, 15 sec run, 1 minute rest

rest is just slow walking. I do the first section on the cycle and then i get on the treadmill for sprints. it really helps to get the fat off. it lasts for about 23-25 minutes something like that.
 
I've been in lala land the past few days- because of that guy. Ahh, why did I have to see him? Grr.

In other news, I just got back from intervals on the cycle/treadmill. My roomie and I have been watching smallville and being goofy today. We had a mini food fight with some guys in the cafeteria...it was fun. My fall break is in 4 weeks or something like that. Time is passing so quickly but then at the same time it feels like it's absolutely crawling. I can hardly wait to get into size 6 jeans, that will make me so ecstatic and then on to 4 and 2. WOW...it will be amazing.

I've decided that since I am scheduled to end my rotation on Jan 1 that I will definitely go to my schools homecoming banquet in a gorgeous gown, with a date or not. That will be a lot of fun.


Right now I am listening to "Rest in Pieces" by saliva and also "WHo knew" by pink. Both beautiful songs...ahh..good night
 
Listening to "hear me out" by frou frou, if you've never heard it look it up on youtube.com right now! It's beautiful.

I just woke up- I took a nap and now the prospect of working out is so unappealing because I feel really out of it and a little bit sad. You know that weird feeling when you just wake up?

I need patience...I am moving forward fairly quickly with my losses, but a taste of it has me wanting more you know? I am so ready to be in the single digit sizes. Patience patience patience
 
I have just been reading through your diary, Great work on your losses so far :)

What sort of weights have you been doing ?
 
Thanks Trusylver...I don't do weights that often actually. I do T-tapp, which uses comprehensive compound muscle movements to build muscle density from the inside out. I love it. I've built a lot of lean muscle and my metabolism is higher than before.

Speaking of, I am about to tapp once my dinner is digested. Tomorrow is my high day for the week and then friday is my next low day. I'm guessing I'll be dropping on saturday or sunday because I haven't had a new low yet this week.
 
So I am slightly disappointed because I was expecting a drop in inches or weight today but it may come tomorrow. Anyway, I really need to hit the resistance training harder. I dont want to have to do two rotations to get my perfect measurements- if i do a second i want it to be just to build more muscle.
 
I ate sugar for the first time in three months last night, along with a salty yummy meal that my friend cooked for me. I really shouldn't have and I could have resisted. But I just felt ok with it because I don't do guilt anymore and sundays are technically supposed to be my "cheat" days. I have no intention of doing that kind of cheating again, maybe in a few months but the great thing is how my body is so resilient now. I got right back on track this morning and ate clean, downing a ton of water to wash out all the crap. The scale was up about three lbs which is fine because it's water weight. I really am ready to see the 150's though. This week I am adding in a third cardio, Ill be doing HIIT on monday, tuesday and friday so that should get things moving a bit quicker. I really want to see 2lb drops every week from here on out. i've got 25lbs to go and I really want it gone. The progress I've made is great but I feel like Im just on the threshold of shifting from being a girl you can ignore to a girl you look twice at. I am so ready to look hot and feel more confident. my personality just comes out so easily when i feel good about myself. I am not a shy or reserved person in general but sometimes I come off that way these days.
 
Here I am shoving down a huge pot of rice with my french vanilla protein drink mixed in. it's actually pretty yummy to me. The scale is slowly going down after sunday's kind of binge. I figured it out that if I gained any fat, half a lb is the most I could possibly have put on in that one day.

I just read two relationship/ love related books and they were both really enlightening. one I would recommend is called 'the list' and it really does make you look at the way you approach men very differently. Anyway, I have badminton in about 40 minutes and that will be fun. I'm, actually getting kind of good at it. Starting to slam those suckers down. haha I am breaking through to the 150's this week!!!!!! yes I am going to.
 
I have now officially lost a full 10lbs of fat. my pants are soo loose it looks ridiculous, but I refuse to buy new jeans, because I have a perfectly good pair of 8's in the closet so i will wait to wear those. It's got to be soon.

I am at 26.4% bodyfat now. I can't believe it, that's ridiculous, I started at 32.9%. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

I can hardly wait to see the teen percentage numbers. Yay. Oh and by the way Im going to model. Yes, I am. I'm going to a pro scout interview once I get to goal. When I was 14 I was scouted by an ex-editor from 17 magazine who told me i should pursue modelling once I got taller. I got 2 inches taller so I'm going to go for it.
 
Way to go on your 10lb loss! That is huge!! I bet you are looking great and getting into some old jeans! Whoo hoo!

Great job sista! Keep it up. You are doing fabulous. Way to stick with it too.

A model!!! You go girl! You can do it, what a great goal to have. I want to see you on next top model next season with tyra.
 
Hehe, thanks Miss Jelly Belly for stopping by...I appreciate the encouragement! I dropped into the 150's officially today, at 159.6. Yay. I can hardly wait for the next pant size.

Well, I've decided to do at least 3 cardios this week, possibly 4 because I want the losses to speed up a bit.
 
Well I did my second cardio of the week last night, today it's Basic Workout of t-tapp. I dropped on the scale again this morning. I am so glad to be in the 150's now and I can feel myself getting excited about the 140's. That's a bit down the road though. I can just envision myself in a gorgeous gown for banquet. Right now I am eating a pot of rice and wishing I had my stevia.

There are really no guys here at school that I'm interested in. The guy I liked is gone and I'm a senior so everyone seems so young to me. Oh and by the way, I got into the moot court! I'll be doing cases in the supreme court chambers of the state, argueing my case for ten minutes straight while the justices ask questions etc. I really want to win. In high school I did this same thing except with a partner and we won first place in our state.
 
Yesterday I did t-tapp 1. It feels good to get my resistance work in starting early. I feel good and today I tried on my cute jacket from when i was a size 8 last year and it fits great. My butt still has to drop a bit but Im excited.
 
Hey! new low of 158.8!! I am so excited to rip through the 150's! Fall break is in 2 weeks and I am stunned at how time is flying:) YAY YAY YAY

A friend of mine apparently did a shoot for Marc Jacobs in LA. she's gorgeous and always been very thin. I am excited for her and also excited becauseI will be living in LA in about a year! WOW
