Sore, hungry, and strong

This week I decide to go back into a maintenance budget because my stomach feels so hollow from the 1200-1400 calorie limit.  Averaging about 1800 calories this week.  Sometimes this jump starts weight loss when I plateau.  No idea why, but it works for me.  I've been really muscle sore and tired but I've been nailing down my workouts anyway.  Even on my worst days, I hate the guilt of missing a workout.  I know I'll feel physically worse if I chicken out too.  Haven't missed a workout in three weeks and I'm not about to start.

So not my best week, but when I feel the muscles, the tone and remember I still have better days ahead, I know I have to go strong.  I'll need my gut loading weeks, thinking about doing it every 3-4 weeks.  I still make healthy food choices, I just get to feel full instead of good enough.  I still plan on having that bikini body.  Don't tell me all bodies are bikini bodies.  Be as body positive as you want but I have always dressed to best flaunt my features.  A bikini does not flatter my big body, I have no illusions and confidence doesn't cut it.  I want my fit and curvy body back so I can feel like a warrior, not just a woman.  I want to do handstands and roundhouse kicks.  It's not enough just to wear that bikini-- I want to rock it.
