I posted some pretty horrific photos a couple weeks ago. Well, I managed to survive holiday break and keep plugging away.
That isn’t to say that I didn’t eat ALL of my mom’s awesome peanut clusters. Or that I didn’t eat a piece of pumpkin bourbon cheesecake (and by piece, I mean a quarter of the damn thing). Or eat my weight in fudge.
I did all that stuff.
But I kept hitting it hard at the gym. So here is where I’m at. It would be better if I didn’t eat so crappy, but now is the time where I’m eating better, so I’ll be seeing better results I hope.
Here is my left side, which I started working on harder so it’s pretty close to what my right side looks like now. It wasn’t there last time I took photos.
And I didn’t use strategic lighting (ie. there was a flash on the camera this time), so you can see what my abs look like without being lit properly.
Natural light would be the best.
Where I see the most progress is my backside. These underwear are the same as the ones I had on last time (different color) and I have a lot less butt. I’m starting to get that coveted dent in the side of my hips. Now if only I could get rid of the cellulite on the sides of my butt. Magic cream? I’ve noticed it’s gotten a little better though since there’s a lot of muscle underneath.
Oh, did I mention that I leg pressed 300 pounds last week? Not once. But 30 times. Yeah. So that’s probably why my butt is looking much nicer.
I start phase two this week. I think I just have to add cardio (FINALLY) to what I’ve been doing. I already started that … so it shouldn’t be too hard.

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
