I am so looking to my weekend. I?ll be heading to La Belle Province to visit with my folks, and while there plan on taking time to eat at my ultimate favorite restaurant ? Gibby?s in Old Montreal! The food there, at least for me, is unbelievable!!! Love the atmosphere and amazing service!

Anytime I plan to go to Montreal, I spend the week ?making room for GOOD food?. I do this by making sure to get my workouts in and also cut my carbs a bit during the week as I am sure to do some carb loading while I am there!!

It?s all about making room for enjoyment! That?s why I always encourage people to try and eat as clean as they can during the week when they are at work, and then this way when you?re out and about on the weekend you can splurge guilt-free!!

Would you believe my glutes and quads are still sore from Monday?s leg day with CB. I think it also has to do with the new cardio sets I am doing. It involves a good amount of jogging and sprinting while on a step incline for a 45-60 minute set. As I said ? it?s serious!

Today is Chest and Delts. Delts, along with Glutes are the muscle parts that I am putting my most focus on now. They were the ones I felt post-comp that I need to work the most on improving. I?ll get overall improvements elsewhere as I want to ensure and maintain overall symmetry, but I?m really targeting these areas as I feel they could look better, moreso my glutes. For my legs, I get the definition, but really just need to remember that I?ve got to get them as lean as I can. If I do, I?m pretty confident I?ll stand up to the competition on stage. Anyhoo ? not thinking stage anything right now ? Just basic training and enjoying the freedom to eat and train as I choose to!!! There it is again ? the choice ? it?s all about being in control of the choices you make that best suit the type of lifestyle you want to live at any given point in your life.

Right now, my choice is about maintaining a heatlhy fitness level that is condusive to family planning. For this, I choose to eat clean throughout the week and then go with the flow on the weekend. If I?m at home, then clean food it is ? if I?m on the road, then it?s about what entices me and going with my cravings!!!
 

Here?s a good Pat Riley quote that I found ?Look for your choices, pick the best one, then go for it?.

If I don?t get another chance to blog this week, have a blessed weekend and see you back here next week!
 

Cheers,
