kick it into gear.

so it's July.

i'm four months into my fitness journey and am reaching a serious plateau. in the beginning, after doing some research, i opted to bulk before leaning out. my thought process: having more muscle burns fat when not exercising. meaning, just doing my normal, daily, non-fitness routine...i'd be burning fat. and cutting weight later would result in a better body with more muscle definition.

i've had a blast with bulking. lifting heavy stuff has been SO MUCH FUN and a great stress reliever. i LOATHE cardio. but..it's time to get serious.

my goals for july: 

eat CLEAN.

no less than 5 days a week. i'm allowed two cheat days, but i prefer to only use one.

CARDIO everyday.

it doesn't have to be long, but it has to be effective.

i'm a big fan of HIIT training.

on days when i'm not at the gym, i have a few fitness dvds {insanity, turbo fire, 30 day shred, etc.} to help me with that.

i've got this....right?

*gulp*
