Iron Works!!!
:o)

Exhausted yesterday…10 hour shifts and then weight training afterwards…this virus depleted my energy stores but I am back at it ….excited to see what my body will look like….hope to look like DeborahAnn…. great shoulders, narrow waist, beautiful legs and rear!!!!! Working with the trainer Dave Vignasse….his nutrition plan to date has been the best. My cravings for carbs is gone….no binge cravings as yet….pretty darn amazing…….

I was finally able to weight train today…..I so love the feel. I did cardio as well. It is amazing how quickly one loses their edge with cardio. I am just really HAPPY to be able to work out again.
My knee feels better…NO MORE PYLOMETRICS….my back still hurts but it is nothing I cannot handle.
This diet is going well. I spend more time preparing food now and I am eating more food than I have in a long time. I was very accustomed to just grabbing a protein drink or bar and going. I would be relatively "on" the diet …then, I would binge eat. It was bad example: a gallon of ice cream at a time with 3 dozen cookies…I bought a half pound of icing, two pastries and a gallon of ice cream and ate it in one sitting…yes…I was very ill afterwards and I wonder what the heck I am doing to my insulin levels…my poor body.
Anyway, that is not going to happen anymore.
I am so excited about seeing where this journey leads……  :O). I wanna SMOKING hotttttt body!!!

I was able to do 10 mins of cardio but….wooooo…am I weak…gonna nap and see if I can train tonight….I want to get started so badly.
My goals….gain mass….loss fat….do a pull up and do 100 pushups….
Wish me luck?????
P.S. My first day back to work since virus and I had not energy to train tonight. :O(

I hired Dave, the awesome trainer that has helped Irsu transform his body. A truly amazing transformation. Irsu states Dave is the most knowledgeable man pertaining to nutrition/training that he has ever encountered.
I have a virus (was sent home from work), thus, I cannot start my training routine today. I need to purchase such few items and the protein recommended is was less costly than what I am now paying (yippee) and looking at the bodies Dave has transformed….it must work.
I am so freaking excited to get this going…..pray that tomorrow this virus has left my body so I can get the "game on".  )

The posing coach who ridiculed me in front of others refuses to refund my money. I hired her solely for posing, she wanted to trai n me and do my nutrition, I told her I had a trainer, She wanted to know who and I took her to Jay’s website, should her his work with Gymrat, she read and critiqued his credentials and brought others over to look at the website. She agreed to do the my posing. When I went Wed., I got O…ZERo posing but what I did get was public ridicule. She wanted to see my diet, I did not show her, told her the breakdown and the calories, she laid her head on the table, got others involved, said out loud in an open forum waht I was doing, one girl said well, she is taking in enough protien. She made me weight and do my body fat…I was there for posing, not that stuff. She told me I would never make it on stage, that it was hard work, that I should be doing this and that, that I had too much body fat and that her name would be associated with me if she was my posing coach and she did not want that representation.  She instead wanted to do my nutrition, I told her no, I had that covered. She said well, let me see how you train, what my INTENSITY was like so we scheduled for next Wed.

So, I came home, humiliated….and then got a little angry. I HAVE A TRAINER, I do not NEED a personal trainer, I NEEDED a posing coach which is what she agree to do! She is from the land of USETA, she useta compete, she useta have a great body before "excuse number 56", blah, blah, blah.

Public ridicule and humiliation serve no useful purpose. Accountability  does. Motivation is fear based, out of feaar of failure we are motivated to work harder, study for a test, etc. It has its place and serves a purpose.
To inspire someone means that you admire them and aspire to imitate. Spiritually it is a much better deal. Jay inspires me. Gymrat inspires me.  A good coach should inspire someone.

That is why I love training women. I seek to inspire them to be their own personal best, not ridicule them and make a public example of what  failure looks like. NOT tell them they will never succeed at their goal. Not tell them what I useta could do. I seek to show them their potential and help them achieve….

Life sucks right now….but this too shall pass. I am ashamed to even go to they gym. She has told so many people about my goals and made such ridicule of them I feel they all are laughing at me and my body….

I go anyway…hang my head and work hard…..what else can I do!

Went to my posing coach…she comes highly recommended. She did my BF analyais and looked at me and was nice but honest…I have only 7 pounds more muscle than the average woman that walks into the gym. I need to drop 15% body fat…..if I keep the muscle mass I have  (HA HA) and get down to a competitive body fat….well, the end result is I need to gain muscle before I try to compete. She would not coach me with posing because I would be a product of her input and I do not have what it takes to get on stage…..I got the feeling that if I say she helped me with this that I would have to represent and do it well…….
I do not want to be average….
So, refocus….gain some lean mass and compete next year!!!
ALL these years of training and only 7 more pounds of muscle than the average woman….DIET  DIET   DIET!!
Dang it!

Did not sleep but about 3 hours last night. When I got home from work I took a nap (3 hours); I was so tired this am at 445….did my HITT and once again, saw the black and white spots, felt light-headed, but…I said to myself…If I wanna be my own personal best, I have to push beyond all this!!! If I am getting on stage, I have to persevere. Talk about going past the pain….this is a whole new kinda limit pushing. Mind over matter!!!

Yep…I "got er done".

Off to work, then posing at 5:00p, feed the machine at 6:00p, then lift weights, todays is chest, shoulders, abds!!!

I almost passed out twice….:o(  LOL  I was pushing way hard!!

I am so nauseated….did quads, hams, shoulders and abds tonight…I was so dang exhausted after legs that I had to sit to do my lateral raises….wanted to cry…then abds….I worked them so hard I started cramping.

I sure hope I can get this fat of by Oct. I was stressing about it and decided, what the heck, I will do a show in Nov. if I can not represent Jay and myself well.

My diet is 100% on. Getting the meals on time is a challenge at work, today, I had to eat behind my patient’s curtain and he busted me…asked if it was lunch time..LMAO. HITT in the am and then posing practice and workout tomorrow evening.

I wonder what the heck I am doing this for sometimes…then I just look around at society and know I want to take my body to the  next level and see what my own personal best is….
