Hi Gang I have been busy, happy, sad, stressed etc... you know LIVING. I feel I have gained enough weight to begin another cut, around 6 pounds. I am not saying I am ready to compete, but I am ready to BE ready. I am keeping protein high, fat moderate and carbs low. I will be doing cardio again... ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) I hate cardio. To start 3 times a week. I will begin posting diet and wos again tommorow!!! ;D

You have been through a lot the past several months but it is good to see you back and starting a new journal. From your recent pics, I can't see where you put the weight on so I am sure you will reach your goal in no time. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I know cardio is not your favorite thing but you always get the job done - have fun ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

pretty good workout! A little dizzy from low carbs, but I will adjust.

GREAT AND STRONG WO!!!!! Your dizziness will subside, which you know, once you get used to the low carbs!!!! Do you have a target weight you are trying to get to?
Are you guys all settled now in the house?
I know it will, I felt good today, a little hungry but OK. I am not 100% sure as far as a goal weight, I am thinking 128. I am doing a slow cut, trying to hold all the muscle. I am hoping to do it mostly with diet, and minimal cardio.
We are settling in... holidays were busy and slowed progress. But Chris is painting right now!! ;D ;D

Hey Sapphire, how's the dizziness today? I had the same problem so I decided to cut back gradually, with some of the meds I'm on that's all I needed, feel lightheaded as I'm going down the stairs, miss a step and land flat on my back - doc would not be happy. Oh man Tiff! Be careful with that back!! Dizziness was not bad today. NO WO though, rest day. Tommorow I will see how the gym goes, that was when I was dizzy. Take care of yourself!! ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)
