Linda Cusmano ‘OUT FOR BLOOD 2011′

Slow to start, in 3 weeks I am only 4 days into program…..essential behind by 2 weeks if I were to do the pace I intended, but between renos and family stuff I had to miss some days and ended up behind.  Its not a huge deal but I did notice I am not as cut.
Up to a week ago I was sittingat 112 so I had only gained 2 lhs since contest and was still cut.
With less training I put on a bit of bodyfat, not sure my weight but anyway…….I am going to finish this and get on the ball for week 2 and so on.  I keep fighting ‘back off’ vs ‘push’…..its hard, I am used to pushing and maybe too much so that could be whyt growth had been small, lifting too much won’t give you size, just strength or power……but I love it too, but my back likes the back off.
Finally did yoga last week adn that day I felt great and even did some back bends, back bends dudes……….been years…..
Diet cleanse has been good overall, I mean not perfect but very good.  Had a few cheats this weekend but overall been doing well!
The show I judged was a whole new story compared to my contest and was so refreshing to see some normal, natural bodies.  It was a feel good show from start to finish and what counts is that they are all about integrity, not numbers.
You saw bodyfat, cellulite, figure girls with out 6b packs…….real bodies and it was nice.  I seriously am going to retire in this fed.  YOu can get a pro card as a bb in this fed, a naturl one and when i judged it I was 3 weeks post contest, in my shape then I was tighter than some of the ones on stage, it was a very real show!!!  I will post a few pics later but go to naturalbodybuildingcanada.com to see more about that show, dated August 23rd.
I haev not started the other stuff, plyos, kickboxing etc so I need to get on that too.
I guess with all the time training I just needed to slack a bit more.
My drive and intention is there I just need to get moving and be less lazy about it, with the renos and work I have been distracted but also with family stuff…….tomorrow is another day!
