Brand New Booty Round 2 - July 6th - July 13

So by now yall know that I got married and moved which is why I didn't buy my second bottle of BNB right away.  I knew I wouldn't have time to blog about it.  Im settled and ready to start blogging again so I bought my second bottle of BNB and started taking 2 capsules a day last Saturday, July 6th!  This time I can actually judge whether it works because my weight is stable and I am not gaining like 5lbs a week like before. 

July 6th - July 13
July 6th my starting weight was 152-156.  For the whole week my week has been stable, no weight gain, no weight loss, and no increase in appetite.  As I discussed in a recent video which I will embed below, after taking the pills last time I continued gaining weight.  I ended up getting to my highest weight of all time at 157 lbs!  I was 157 for the last 2-3 weeks of May.  I continued weight updates on my tumblr, so you can see the proof there.  Since I did gain more weight after I finished taking those pills I also ended up gaining another inch in my booty (back in May).  Although I did end up losing a bit of weight since May I am still at 41''. So I started the week at 41'' and ended the week at 41''. NO CHANGES AT ALL THIS WEEK

As far as week 1 it is looking like BNB DOES NOT WORK!  I can't be for sure yet, but I did suspect that the last time I took BNB that the circumference of my booty increased only because of my weight gain and not because of BNB.  As soon as I got married I started gaining weight, which was way before I started taking BNB.  3 weeks to go so we will see?  Lets see if no weight gain will equal no increase in booty? 

Started at 41" (152-157 lbs)
Week 1 - 41" (152-157 lbs)

Make Picture Comparisons -- Update

I haven't lost any weight and haven't gained any either.  I have been maintaining very well. I have not been on BNB since my BNB review update.  Still have not ordered another bottle.  I will be moving to Florida at the end of the month so I will not order more BNB till I get done moving and get settled.  I have the same measurements and I have been at a very steady 151-153 lbs.  I really want to get to 160 but I have not been doing what I need to do to gain more.  For me to gain more I would need to be drinking 3-4 CVS Liquid Nutritional Supplements a day in addition to my regular meals but I have only been drinking 1-2 and for the past 4 days I have not drank any at all.  For some reason CVS has been out of them and I haven't been in the mood to check Target for some.  Either way I have been eating a 4-5 cups of dry cereal at night before bed and eating Clif Builder Protein Bars as well.  Another thing that I have been hooked on lately is Curry Chicken Patties from Costco.  I eat 2-4 patties day.  Those patties are 370 calories per patty so those calories add up when you are eating 2-4 of them a day.  I haven't eaten out in about 2 or more weeks because I have been trying to save money so I am constantly eating random things I do not normally eat or like.  I am so used to eating out, so eating at home every single days has been very hard. 

Below I will list some meals I have been eating lately: 

- Marconi and Cheese, Grilled Steak, and Avocado
- Rosemary Baked Chicken, Rice, and Avocado
- 2 Pancakes, 2 fried eggs, and 5 strips of Bacon
- 2 Curry Chicken Patties (370 per patty). From Costco
- Spaghetti
- 2 Grilled Cheese Sandwich's with Swiss and American Cheese
- Stouffers Fettuccine Alfredo (630)
- 2 Melted Cheese and Egg Sandwich's
- 2-3 Beef or Chicken & Cheese Tamales (240-260 per tamale). From Trader Joe's

Late Night Snacks

- Cookies and Cream Ice cream
- Clif Builder Protein Bars
- CVS Liquid Nutrition Supplements Plus
- Dry Cereal - Cheerios or Honey Toast Crunch
- Baked Good: Chocolate Cookies and Brownies

Drinks

Foco Coconut Juice (160)
Sweet Tea
CVS Liquid Nutrition Supplement Plus (350)
Water


What I find helps a ton is doing picture comparisons.  Sometimes I get frustrated because I may see my weight increasing but I might not neccesarily see the changes in my body.  But when I either try on clothes and see how they fit differently or do picture comparisons I then notice slight difference.  This helps keep me motivated.  Since I have reached 150 I have finally began to notice the biggest differences.  I have plenty of pants, shorts, and skirts I can no longer wear at all.  Although I still have chicken legs, my legs have diffenetly gotten thicker.  Looking at my legs you would not be able to tell but when I try on pants and shorts that I used to be able to wear at 140 lbs that I can no longer wear now.....it then becomes obvious that my legs have gotten thicker YEAH ME.  And of course the rest of m body has gotten thicker as well.  Below will be before and after pics.

Here is an example of shorts I bought and wore last year, that I will NOT wear this summer because I am too grown to walk around with my butt hanging out of some shorts.

Brand New Booty (BNB) 1 Month Review

When I started taking these capsules 4 weeks ago I was 140-144 lbs.  I measured 38'' around.  I am now 149-152 lbs.  It would have been alot easier to see if this really works if I had stayed a consistent weight.  The fact that I gained around 10 lbs makes it impossible to tell if these capsules truly worked.  Yes I did gain inches in the booty but who is to say that I would not have gained those inches regardless if I had taken them or not.....who is to say that I did not just gain those inches because I gained 10 lbs???  I also can not really tell if it increased my appetite since I had already started gaining weight the month prior to taking them (they don't claim to do that but I still wonder if they do help with gaining weight).  I now measure 40'' around, which is an increase of 2'' from where I started a month ago.  Is the 2'' from just simply the weight gain, from the BNB capsules, or from a mixture of both???  Hard to tell.  I was originally going to start my 2nd month of BNB right away but I decided to take 1-4 weeks off from taking them to see if I still gain weight without them, or increase in the booty region without them.  That is the only way to truly see if BNB was helpful at all.  I honestly haven't even ordered my 2nd bottle yet, lol. 

I just realized I gained 10 lbs this month and 10 lbs last month.  GO ME!!!  I have gained 20lbs since the end of February.  My goal is to get to 160 by June 1.  My Husboo told me to stop at 160, which was my plan anyways. 

Started at 38" / 140lbs
Week 1 - 38.5" / 140-144 lbs
Week 2 - 39'' / 143-147
Week 3 - 39"/ 144-147
Week 4 - 40"/ 149-152

I realize the only weeks I stayed the same measurements are the weeks that I stayed the same weight.  Hmmm does that mean you have to gain weight if you want to see a different?  Everyone's bodies are different.  If anyone else has taken these capsules leave your experiences below please.

btw turning my body around to try and take a pic of my booty was the hardest thing ever....lmao

I will update yall if there are any differences during the weeks that I am not taking the capsules and will start with weekly updates once I start taking the capsules again.

Exercises: Booty Workout (Donkey Kicks), and Crunches

For so long when asked whether I exercise I would say no, I don't know why but I just don't consider what I do exercise.  But yes I do exercise, I do not do any cardio, I do not run, walk, or jog.  The only cardio I get is from walking the mall, luckily I do walk pretty fast so at least I get my heart rate going through shopping.  During the Spring and Summer I really enjoy site seeing and hiking so I get my heart rate going by doing those things as well.  But you will never see me put on some exercise gear and go jogging around my neighborhood.  Increasing your calories intake doesn't help if you are burning it right off.

Targeted Exercises:
Abs/Tummy?

I do targeted exercises, I call them lazy man exercises because they are so easy to me and I do them while watching tv.  I have been doing crunches since I was 14 and I am now 27.  I do reps of 100 and usually do a total of 400 each time I decide to exercise.  Recently I started thinking crunches were no longer helping because I could no longer feel the burn or the soreness the next day.  Thank God for youtube and finding out about waist trimmers.  Ever since I start cinching my stomach with the Gold's Gym Waist Trimmer while doing my crunches I can feel the work out in a way I never did before.  I wear the waist trimmer even when I am not working out.  My aim is to wear it at least 2 hours a day, but on the weekends I can wear it for 4-5 hrs.  It really helps with burning water weight, it makes my ab workouts more intense, and it trains me to keep my ab muscles tense and contracted.  It causes targeted sweating in the tummy region which aids in burning water weight.

*** I bought the Gold's Gym Waist Trimmer from Walmart, it was about $4-6

 

This is the amount of sweat it produced w/out me even working out, this was just from sitting down and chilling!

 

I love hiking!

 

Booty: Donkey Kicks?

The only booty exerciese I do are donkey kicks.  I do them standing up and I also do them on my knees.  Doing them on my knees I notice are more intense.  Most people do lunges and squats, but honestly if I had to do lunges I would never do booty exercises....I absolutetly hate lunges....I am too lazy for all that.  If you do not know what donkey kicks are here is a great explanation and demonstration:

Here is me doing it, remember I promised yall a vid?  Well the video was a fail, but I took a still shots from the video so I can show you how I do them on my knees.  I still plan to make a video when I move and have a better space to record. 

I do reps of 50 with each leg.  I do 50 with one leg and squeeze my butt everytime I lift my leg, and then do the same with the next leg.  I did learn I need to also contract my abs too.  I do a total of about 200 with each leg.  I do this same exercise standing up.  I place one hand at the top of the chair, I stand to the side of the chair, and do the same legs lifts while standing.

There are so many different ways to do donkey kicks, on hands and knees, on knees with chair support, and then standing with chair support.....google for more information.



btw I am now only 1 lb away from goal, 150 is a huge milestone... I am at weights I have never seen before on the scale.  So excited, I already know I want to get to 160, and stop there.

Hope this was helpful!!! Love Yall Lots <3

What 148!!!!, Still gaining!

Last night I got home from dinner and saw that I am now 148, Ive never seen 148 before.  You know I was excited.  I never thought I would get to 148 from eating sushi and salad lol.  This morning when I woke up I was 146.  So my new weight range is 146-148, in order to maintain this and/or continue to gain I have to keep up with my increased eating habits.  NOW ONLY 2 LBS AWAY FROM 150!!!

I figured I would give yall another food diary.  Please remember I do not have a consistent diet and I do not eat the same meals everyday.  I decide what I will eat based on what I am craving at the moment.

Weight Gain update -- Trying something new

I am currently 144-147 lbs, height is 5'5"

About 3 days ago I started trying something new, in addition to what I am already doing.  2-4 CVS Liquid Nutritional Supplements will always be a staple to my weight gain journey.  But lately I have also added eating 1-2 Clif Builder's Protein Bars (in chocolate) to the mix.  Supplements almost never taste good, and this one actually does.  This was specifically made for body builders and I am clearly not that.  I mainly paid attention to the amount of calories it has to offer and the nutritional value.  These chocolate bars have 270 calories, 20 g of protein, 70 fat calories, no trans fat, 23 vitamins and minerals.  I found this to be a perfect addition because I always have a major sweet tooth.  There are days I wake up immediately craving either cotton candy or an almond Hershey bar.  Not healthy at all.  Other days I wake up with no appetite at first so I just need something quick to get down.  These bars are perfect for both occasions.  This is my very first nutritional supplement that I have ever tasted that I actually enjoy eating.  So I typically have one in the morning before my breakfast or if I have no appetite for breakfast I will just eat that alone until lunch.  I will also sometimes have it as part of my desert as well. 

Below will be a random food journal from yesterday so you can see how I incorporate the supplements I take into my diet.  But do know what I eat changes everyday so yesterday isn't necessarily typical because every day is fairly different for me.

Breakfast:
Clif Builder's Protein Bar (I wasn't hungry so this is all I ate, when I am hungry I will eat it in addition to cereal or whatever I eat for breakfast) - 270
2 Caprisun Wild Cherry - 60 * 2
Total: 390 Calories (great considering I did not have a real breakfast)

Lunch:
Wendy 1/4lb cheeseburger - 552
small Dr pepper - 140
** I also bought a baked potato but I did not eat it :/
Total: 692

Dinner:
2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches - 300 * 2
2 Caprisun Wild Cherry - 60 * 2
Total:  720

Desert/ Late Night Snack:
** I had been eating icecream all week but I ran out
Clif Builder's Protien Bar - 270
2 CVS Liquid Nutrional Supplements PLUS - 350 * 2
Water - 0
Total: 970 (yes 970 calories just from supplements!!!!)

Grand Total from the entire day: 2772 Calories (when I am trying to gain and/or maintain over 140 lbs I have to get in at least 2000-2500 calories a day.
