Cause I've got issues hehe :p - don't we all!
It's a really good ritual though I am starting to feel like being sexy is apart of who I am in a sultry seductress full of positive energy type of way. Like I am growing into the Woman I was born to be. I started it only two days ago so I cannot wait to see what changes it will bring by the end of the month. I am keeping a journal as I go through the month.
Also on that website is a lot of great butt workouts. Those are what I am using for my bootay, I have been wanting to go to the weight equipment at the uni gym but I have been being a chicken letting all the muscly guys intimidate me from going over to the weights section - my ritual should help me out with that! so I've been doing the stair machine and a bike on a high setting but I think that can only get me so far, plus it is considered cardio equipment and I do not want to lose my pounds!!! Gotta get it together and not let no man scare me away from my future ass.

It helps in everything you go to do! It makes you confident and, like attracts like. If you KNOW you can accomplish something, you will.
As for Lo, her exercises are a couple of many! I use her website mostly for ideas, haven't used any of them (specifically the way she does them) yet. I like reading her articles though. It's always great to read things from different trainers. There's always so many new things to learn! Are you a paid customer of hers, or do you just use the free exercise samples she provides on the website?
And YEAH you're gut is right about staying away from access cardio, especially if you want to gain curves. Cardio will not only burn off your fat, but also your muscle. Since you are trying to gain both (right?), stay away from cardio!! Please please! If you want to gain curves, you need to: 1) focus on doing your leg exercises to the point of exhaustion (yeah, I am the pathetic girl who winces her eyes and grinds her teeth and moans on her last set... embarrassing, but believe it or not, people in the weight section of the gym respect that! Guys come up to me all the time just to say, "miss, THAT was impressive!" or "excuse me miss, are you training for something?"), AND 2) you know you need to increase those calories and protein in your diet. I am currently at fault with my calories. I eat 7 times a day but in such small portions and am such a healthy eater and still have such a pathetic appetite that something tells me that my calorie count is still too low for my basal metabolic rate. Since I have gotten back from my break, I wanted to try to minimize calories as I maximized protein (because I was tired of doing the yo-yo routine of maxing out on calories and then going on a lean diet for my waist, and then calories again and... you get the picture. Losing the weight off my bum when I'd go on my lean diets made me feel like I was regressing! So I figured I'd stay on a low calorie diet, but...) and I have seen gains in 5 weeks but not as much as I am used to. I used to really pack on the calories: it's amazing how much that aids in muscle growth as well! Just, if you want to make sure that it goes to your muscle instead of being stored as fat, this is the most recent trick I have learned: pack your calories in by eating foods that have low glycemic index. I am going to start that soon (once I finally sit down and actually do the math of how many calories I am taking in now), but it should work because my ex went on that diet and has maintained all of his big muscles YET lost 5 inches off of his waist, and has a little 6 pack now (of course, now that we're broken up! go figure ). So, it SHOULD work and I am excited to start! You should try it, too! BTW how is the Boost Calorie Plus working for you?
What exactly about the men in the weight lifting section of the gym intimidates you? Men love it when they see women in that part of the gym, especially when they look like they know what they are doing! They have mad respect for us if we gather the courage to go "over there" lol. As long as you are not on the machine they want to use. haha
