Calories……….
Im not going to delve into this too much as I am in the middle of writing an article on calorie consumption. I just want to say do not rely solely on the # of calories you consume as a guide for losing weight. there are good calories and empty calories. Keep this in mind………a 100 calorie cupcake vs. a 100 calorie piece of chicken. One goes straight to your body the other straight to your ass and thighs.
I did not work out last a night. A girlfriend was in town and we went out to check out a new lounge at the casino. It was lame on a thurday night, so we hit the other casino instead. Did a little bit of dancing and some window shopping as well, but hey, it was a thursday so not much fun in CT. But then, CT is hardly ever fun. I had a stressful morning yesterday. I woke the a massive thunderstorm and downpour…..total BUCKETS of rain and when I went out to my car……..well……holy crap……..my freakin sunroof was open!!! It was hot the day before and I left it open and just totally forgot when I came in the house to go back out again at night and close it. Im now stuck with a car that smells like a wet towel in a washing machine and if I need to roll up my windows aND LEAVE IT i GET CONDENSATION ON THE inside OF THE CAR. Oh well, live and learn.
Im pretty lean right now and I dont think I went quite this lean at all last year. Im sort of the lean from my 1st year I guess.Not owning a scale I am guessing 118-119. Funny, I weighed this last year, but with more muscle this year i didnt have to be so lean for a lower weight. I told you competing messes with your head. After Nationals in 2 weeks I get to be "off" until October . Back to my happy 125 weight. The crappiest part about the "dieting" is the picnic food I am missing. yes, I eat it in the summer. I cannot resist potato salad…….its my thangggg. I have to go to a family picnic tomorrow like everyone else and its a combo bithday for me, my great nephew and my great niece, plus 4th of July of course.
I will be in the gym tonight of course. I havent trained in a couple days, but I needed a break as my body is wiped from going 2x a day. This is the time when you are weak and risk getting sick because it lowers your immune system. Im sure it will be dead in there and I am going to tape some video on supersets and practice posing. I think I need to always practice……I always think there is room for improvement. In this sport you can think you are the ****…..but only for as long as your next show!!!
Happy holiday!!!
