I will pick up my son at the airport 10:00 am……………………..back to regular routine…………

I will train legs this morning and run approx 50 minutes………………..later. 

 

Training is great………….I am at 130 pounds and approx 16% bodyfat………………getting lean.

My son has been away for 2 1/2 weeks and he returns tomorrow……………..I do miss him.  I was able to lean down nicely in 2 1/2 weeks and now I see the light…………I decided I will compete in both CBBF Natural World Qualifier and also the CBBF Nationals in Edmonton……………………..the problem is one show is more of a muscular look and other lean and sleek……………………well I decided I will go for the lean and sleek look and it will take me over to the North Americans……………very excited.  I’ve already qualified as a master competitor at the North Amercians but I want to be qualified for the Middle Height Figure Class………………I am determined and will qualify…………..

Also I’ve been dating this nice gentlemen and it’s hard witht he training but he is supportive and my training comes first…………..when it rains it poors.

Well must go………………need some sleep and will post later.

Had a great workout today……………..trained arms and abs/calves

I cheated a little on the weekend; peanut butter; crackers/cheese…………..it was good…
My trainer doesn’t know but it’s ok ………………I still have 16 weeks.

I ran twice today 45 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the evening…………………

standing barbell curls warm ups then 3×10-15
machine preacher 3 10-12
one arm hammer curls 3 12-15
close grip bench warm ups then 3×10-15
overhead reverse grip one arm 3 12-15
one arm pushdown 3 12-15

Abs - I super set with 3 different exercises - leg raises 20 reps; sit ups 20 reps; abd crunches 20-30 reps (4 sets in total)

I’m leaning out and feeling great……………………….later

I worked 11 hrs last evening and got home at approx 1:30 am…………this shift work is for the birds………….

I will try to train legs this morning and run for 50 minutes…………….I am drained from work but here I go………….Trying to eat these damn egg whites (yack)……

I will only train once today because I am back to work for 14:00……………

My leg program for today will be:

I am off to they gym……………starting out in my new gym this morning……….a new motivator.  I’ve started to tan this week (fake and bake) but it feels good especially with the cold winters here in Canada.  I will run for 1 hr this morning because I can make it to they gym once a day on weekends.  You see I am a Registered Nurse who works only weekends (Compress Work Week).  I work only 30 hrs (10 hrs each shift Fri/Sat/Sun and they pay me full time hrs with sick time/vacation/ etc…………………it’s a great package because I have the whole week off to be with my son who is my priorioty in life………………..it also gives me the time to workout during the week when he is in school………………I sacrifice my weekends for him but it is all worth it in the long run………..

Next week I will be visting some friends and will try to take some progress pictures to add here on bodybuilding.com……………so you can see me at 130 pounds…….my goal is to reach 120 - 122 for stage on June 30th………….I can already vision myself………I will compete in figure as a master and middle height open class………….would love to win the masters and turn pro as a master……………..well one day at a time.

Have a fabulous and brilliant day…………..  ) 

 

 

Lot’s of energy compared to yesterday…………………..I ran this morning at 10:30 am for 50 minutes on the treadmill………….I could of ran longer but I have to be careful - I still have 16 weeks before the first show………….I like preparing early because those cheat days will help tighten up the physique………………I’ll become flat at first (I hate that stage) but will fill out with cheat days……………..can’t wait.  I would probably guess my first cheat day will be in approx 6 weeks; maybe earlier depends what my trainer sees……………I know by physique really well but still need that guidance (it’s a mental thing).   I’ve had the same trainer for 22 years (Laura Binetti - 1989 World Champion Bodybuilder - 5 times Miss Olympia Competitor).

My bodyfat is at approx 17-18% right now……………….great.

Today I trained Chest:

 

This evening I had one more cardio……………….45 minutes on the moving stairs master - great for the glutes.  Ate all my meals today……………….oh yes I joined a new awesome gym today - Bodyworks.  Looking forward to a new atmosphere………..

Must go…………….later

 

 

 

I am down to 130.2 pounds……………….I can start seeing lines on my physique…………………….

I was so tired today…………………………….you know that time of the month……..LOL  I know you guys don’t want to hear that but your lucky.   I am so tired I can sleep for 12 hrs but I still ran for 50 minutes this morning and ran for 35 minutes tonight (I sprinted tonight at 7.2 on the treadmill and I was exhausted but I won’t let that get in my way).

I trained with a great person tonight  (Olivia Maguire) who is preparing for a Ontario Provincial show and she is looking fabulous…………….

I trained back today…………………we work out using Olivia’s program but usually I would of trained the following for this week………..

 This is what I was suppose to eat today but was only able to take in 4 meals……………but soon I’ll get hungry and will be eating all the meals.

Well hope everyone is doing well and again thanks for all your support.

I feel  fabulous and energized………………………like I mentioned earlier my son is away for 21 days and I have the freedom to do all things I want………………………………….
…

I’ve been so busy these days……………….I am also a RN and I started a Wellness Program at my work for over 150 staff………………I think I created a monster………..but the challenge and experience is great…………….

I ran for approx 1 hr today and trained arms……………..

I am eating my yam and egg whites right now…………………………..you believe it or not I am starting to enjoy this clean food…………………….

Later I will climb stairs for approx 35 -45 minutes……………………..move over you young chickens because here I come………………..I’ll be lean and sleek………….

Later Christine………………….. 

 

 

 

 

 

It’ts been a great week…………….Right now my son is gone south for 20 days and I will miss him but it’s nice to train stress free……………..I sleep when I want, I train when I want and the energy is great in the gym.  Don’t get me wrong I do miss him but alot of people don’t understand how much work it takes to raise a child alone and get ready for a show…………………….if you have children and competing give yourself a medal!!!

I"ll write more in my blod later……………..I am off to they gym.  Again thanking everyone for all their support.   Oh by the way I’ve decided to wear stunning red on stage……….very excited.      Christine )
