Ok, so I’m in my 4th week of contest prep and things are moving along beautifully. I feel great! I have lots of energy and I’m lifting so hard at the gym (this morning I used 30lb dumb bells for chest. Muscle memory is such a wonderful thing. I’m getting stronger each session and it’s so exciting. I’ve been waking up at 5am to have my coffee, eat my oats, eggwhites and blueberries and hit the gym by 6am. I lift from 6-7am and I’m home before my cute little baby boy even wakes up. I don’t want to take any time away from my family that I don’t have to. Plus, getting my workout done this early in the morning takes the fact that I have to go to the gym off my “to do” list for the rest of the day. I hate having that, “I have to get to the gym sometime today” feeling all day long.
So in my first two weeks of training and dieting I’ve made HUGE progress already. I lost 4lbs on the scale and also lost 4 inches… thats right, 4 INCHES in my waist and 2 in my hip/glute area. How AMAZING, right? Not to mention I’m only doing 2 cardio sessions a week at this point.
The next time I’ll jump on the scale and measure myself is this coming Tuesday so hopefully I’ll be in for some more great news. I will have to say that this is the quickest I’ve ever seen changes in my life. Plus I’m eating great food and I never feel deprived. Hard work pays off and I’m so excited to look amazing for the contests I have planned in 2010!
Ok.. stay tuned for some results…
