HERE I GO… its Day 3 of my prep for my next figure competition on May 1, 2010 and I’m feeling on top of the world! I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels to be back to eating clean and training hard. All of the BIG EVENTS (wedding, baby, ect) are over (for now) and now its time to get back to something I love- being fit! I thought I enjoyed not being on a plan and “doing whatever I wanted” but I was actually really unhappy. I hate not feeling in control and most of all, I HATE not fitting into my clothes! I love waking up with a purpose and having a goal to reach. Each day I have my mission to accomplish and when I go to sleep at night I know I have another successful, healthy day under my belt. Its like I took another step towards my ultimate goal. This time is different though. This time I’m not looking at the competition as the “end” to my goal… its just the beginning to being fit and staying fit for the rest of my life. Even when I’m pregnant with my next child, I will stay healthy and fit. There’s no excuse not to and I had to learn my lesson the hard way. Ugh, why does it seem like I’ve had to learn a lot of my lessons that way? I guess it’s so that the feeling is so deeply imbedded in my brain so I never do it again!
I just got back from a training session. I got to the gym, trained and home all while my son took his nap. He never even knew I was gone! My hubby stayed home since we didn’t have a sitter today but usually my husband and I train together. Right now my lifting is 4 days and week and cardio is only 2 times a week! I’m hoping I pack on a nice amount of muscle. I am constantly day dreaming in my head about what my physique will look like down the road. I want to blow my last time on stage away!
Getting back into the swing of dieting and training will probably take a week or so. I forgot how much work it is to prep all my food- but its soooo important to making any plan work. I have all my chicken, lean beef, tilapia, tuna, sweet potatoes and brown rice in the fridge just waiting to be weighed for each meal. The fun part is coming up with interesting recipes to make the meals more fun and exciting. I made my oatmeal and egg whites the normal day on day 1… never again. I’m back to making my yummy egg white oatmeal pancake and I even make a blueberry syrup to go on top! Yum!
My husband is super supportive and really excited for me to be back to my training. If you’re reading this, Thank You, Honey! I love you!!
Ok, my post workout shake is done and its time to check on my still sleeping baby! What a great sleeper!!
Now its time TO ROCK!!! Keep checking back to hear my progress!!
STARTING WEIGHT: 155lbs (I have pictures but I’m not quite ready to post them! LOL!)
