Operation Muscle Excavation

For the most part I eat healthy.

I workout at least 5 days a week, every week.

Where the heck are all of my muscles?  

I am not looking to lose weight and I am not aiming to be the next female Arnold;  however, I would like to see an ab or two and perhaps meet my tricep from time to time. Given how active and how nutrition conscious I am, this should not be an unreasonable request. Should it?!

If I am completely honest about my muscles’ whereabouts I am fairly certain I can pinpoint their location.  They are hiding underneath a layer of Whole Food’s honey graham’s, dark chocolate covered almonds, tortilla chips, chronic cardio, and my inability to fully unplug.  There is a part of me that is cool with letting my muscles stay hidden in lieu of how far I have come (I was 40+ heavier a decade ago), I feel really good and I have a healthy relationship with food, so why rock that boat to see more of sir tricep?  Well… to put it simply I want to look better, I want to feel better and I want my relationship with food to be better, so I am challenging myself to operation muscle excavation (OME)

OME is going to entail:

  • more diversity in my workouts, less routine. this inevitably=more strength training 
  • more protein, less crackers/ tortilla chips
  • more meals, less snacks
  • more books, less screen time
  • more stretching, less late night cupboard grazing
  • more getting ‘er done, less procrastination.  procrastination = snacking 
 
Muscles, I know you’re in there and I am coming for you.  

To get more tips on how to see more muscles, get on skinspot’s mailing list as I am sending out a newsletter on Tuesday elaborating on my tips.  You also get 10 tips to glowing skin when you sign up, so if you are looking to achieve glowing skin and a toned physique than I suggest going here.  Just Sayin’…

Happy Friday and have a superb weekend.  

I will leave you with IMG 0948

    I’m totally on bored with this plan! I have got to cut out my chips/crackers/hummus/cookies/dark chocolate so it’s ok/post drinks snacks… I feel like my muscles are there, but coated under a layer of blubber…

    I’m also contemplating doing the paleo whole 30 challenge…that would definitely force me to pull it together. http://whole9life.com/2012/08/the-whole30-program/ Thoughts?

      Miss Whit- I have been to the Whole 9′s website more than I care to admit. It seems like a great program, but I know myself and I do not do well with strict guidelines. I am trying to get after my triggers, so I can have my cake and my muscles. :) I am down with being accountability partners though.
