Sunday, November 30th, 2008Hi everyone - it’s November 28th, 2008
14 wks out to U.S. Competition
I am approx 130 pounds right now an I think I am at 17% bodyfat? Well I am feeling leaner and some of the lines are coming out!!!!…….Need to be careful and not lean out to quickly………hee hee….!! Don’t want to get to striated………..boohhhhh !!
I did have a cheat evening meal late last week……..was dropping a little too fast……..my son just loves it when I cheat………lol Had little bit of everything I could find in the cupboards………..
Well my diet is approx 1800 calories still - 65% carbs and the rest protein………you know I don’t really weigh my food or even write things down………I just do it………I know my physique so well that just looking in the mirror I know what needs to be done…….that comes with years of experience and being comfortable with your choices…..also it’s thanks to a great traininer Laura Binetti who has taught me all I know today!!!!…… I think I will start to write things down today so to keep better track of my changes….It will be a good guide to bring with me when I fly out to Columbus Dec 19th to learn some new fitness/dieting tips…:) My diet still consist lot’s of carbs……..yams; shreaded wheat; brown rice; salads; lot’s green vegetables; apples; strawberries etc. I don’t believe in a low carb diet and never will…………I’ve tried it all with 28 yrs of training……..I have 6 meals a day and sometimes just I can’t eat it all. My protein is chicken; white fish; red meat or salmon twice a week; tuna. I can have fat free yogart; blueberries; strawberries; apples; unsweetened apple sauce………lot’s of water…….I use crystal lite and make crystal lite popsicles…..
The next three weeks I will lose some weight and become a little flat……..I kinda hate this stage. Just trying to bring the bodyfat down lower and then I can feel out……….
Last week my damn treadmill got stuck on a incline and still not able to fix it. So just lifted the back end onto a large block and she is in perfect working order again……..thank goodness.
Training in the gym:
Training 5 day a week
Two cardios a day
1. 45 minutes running on the treadmill
2. 45 minutes moving stair climber
Training with weights - one body part per day……..trying to change it to a cross training !!! Less weights………that is not going so well….just love my weights!!!! But I am training like a beast……….lol
Finding it hard to take all my vitamins everyday………but just hate popping all those vitamins……….and supplements; but I need to push myself on getting this done on a regular basis. See my previous notes on what supplements I take in on a regular basis.
Hey guys you may want to skip this section…lol…….Well this is raw reality the hardest time for me getting ready for a show is one week before the female menstrual cycle……I get so exhausted for one who week……….it’s like I am dragging a large brick on a chain…so exhausting I can’t even run on the treadmill and also I want to cheat like crazy. I find as I age I get more tired……blood results are all good but still trying to figure out how to boost my energy during that exhausting week…Tried loading on B vitamins etc. But it doesn’t help. So if anyone has any ideas spread the news………
I will start Work From Home January 17th and goodness that will make a drastic change in preparing for the show……..can’t wait…
That’s the update…………again thank you for all your kind words and support………wishing everyone a HAPPY time celebrating their THANKSGIVING weekend.
