The Workouts

I am progressing very nicely with workouts. Last week was my first week of serious training and I won't lie--I felt like I had been run over by a truck and walked around like a zombie. This week, I feel great! I'm definitely not as sore as I was last week and I'm loving this clean eating stuff. I made the mistake of not eating clean last weekend and I felt like shit. The diet along with the working out is helping me to see results already. I'm gaining some nice cuts (albeit small ones) and I'm determined to post progress pictures this weekend not only to my blog but to my bodyspace on bodybuilding.com. That is one of the best websites to visit for training and nutrition information as well as for incredible motivation! Inquiring minds probably want to know my workout plan so I'm posting it below. I will follow this plan for 4 weeks and then completely change up the routine to keep my muscles fresh and growing. Yay me! I am so happy; I feel so great!
