Hey D3 Fam~

Some of you may have heard me talk about my brick house renovation. My renovation is not about getting skinny~ and with all this culture I carry (hips, butt & boobs) "skinny" just isn't an option! I do, however, want to get back to a healthy weight, with a finely toned body where everything stops moving when I do! It took me a minute to get all the pieces in order, to make the commitment to myself; and to realize that I AM worth the investment.

So far with this renovation I have excavated 50 lbs of unwanted bricks. What a great motivator! Then I hit a plateau - nothing was moving and I wasn't happy. I wasn't sure what to do or how to do it. I fought against discouragement, I did my best to stay plugged in and continue my work outs. So when Dre announced the nutrition plan coming to D3 I started thinking this must be it. I thought my nutrition was fair( with the exception of my sweet tooth) but it started me to thinking maybe this was worth investigating; The more Dre spoke about the program the more I came to terms with the fact that NUTRITION had to be the missing link; the only thing standing between me and $&^# brick house status was getting my nutrition on point.

Well, here I am about a 1 week & 1/2 into the program and so far so o.k. First you must understand a few things about me, I'm a Virgo~ a typical Virgo- a perfectionist through and through, a planner and I HATE being new at anything- I expect to jump into any undertaking having already mastered it.

With that being said...

1.This program forces you to plan (just as Dre said) but even with being a planner I've still had to step up my game - PREPARATION is key
2. I'm more of a finicky eater than I thought. Yes,the program allows you to make substitutions but you first gotta master how to balance calories, fat, carbs and protein. Dre has already smacked my hand (it's all love ;) because I've been waaay overboard with my carbs and not hitting the goal for protein and to top it off I wasn't eating enough, yeah still getting used to eating 6 times a day (dang blasted learning curve!)
I guess it's a good thing I didn't join the figure group ~having to be a nutrition Nazi would have been suicidal! With VN I get to "leeaaan" into meeting my nutrition goals and I get some support getting there ( love that) but I WILL be ready when the next group starts...

Ooops, I forgot to eat, gotta go grab something before my 11 p.m bed time, later fam.

Stay tuned as the renovation continues....
