My diet has been redeveloped this week and that has left me feeling like a hungry hungry hippo! I seriously felt like I lost a pound just in the first day on my 'new diet', yikes! Now that it is 'cutting time' I have to find the balance between getting enough calories and making sure I am in a calorie deficit. This is actually a very difficult thing to do, if you go too low on calories your body will go into a starvation mode and start catabolizing muscle (yes, gross image there). Anyway, we will see what happens over this next week... always an adventure. Definitely starting to get more

Here is another interesting thing that has been happening lately... Emily and I have been getting the most random comments at the gym. People are very complimentary but almost in a weird way. They seem so interested in what we are doing, how we are training, what we are eating, etc. This morning the comment was regarding "wanting our butts" - not your normal gym talk with other unknown members. I guess this a compliment but it is a bit odd. It amazes me that people notice the transformation so much, but it does help you keep going :)

Progress pictures are to come this weekend... let's hope this new diet gets me closer to where I need to be!
