if you really neeed to drop some bf I would totally suggest ckd its pretty amazing and so easy to follow. Im having a few issues with the carb up day but I have never been able to follow a diet and this one is great.

I get it from my mom and my grandma there are both well rounded women. They are from the prairies and even farm girls had to bust there ass.

plus is it just me... but is cardio not one of the most boring things ever,, the first 25 min. my mind is just wondering around thinking of this and that, not until the last 10 min. do i actually get into the rest of the cardio. lol... must be the A.D.D kicking in..... actually get some good thinking in while i`m just ellipticalling away... is that even a word.. ellipticalling??
