8 WEEKS OUT!!!
Eight weeks from today I’ll be doing last minute touch ups to hair, make-up, and more than likely applying bikini grip to make sure my suit doesn’t move!! I swear it doesn’t seem like 5 weeks of dieting and training have already gone by.
Yesterday I went to see my trainer. Although he could tell I’ve leaned out some, my BF is not coming down fast enough. So, he made some serious changes to my diet. I had only had my 1st meal and he told me to start the new diet immediately. Needless to say, I lost 1 1/2 pounds in 24 hours. So, I’m thinking with this new diet, cardio 2x a day, and my weight training I should have no problem dropping this weight. I was a little discouraged two weeks ago b/c I felt the weight wasn’t coming off fast enough. To see my body respond so fast gives me some hope. All of the monounsaturated fats I was getting has now been deleted.
Everyone is asking me when I’m going to upload new progress pics. Well, there are two reasons why I haven’t posted any…1, I’d like to actually have some progress..what’s the use of adding a new pic if I look the same? 2, I have to get someone over here to take my pics!!! If I was thinking (which has become harder to do with the diet) I would have had my trainer take a few pics on yesterday.
GOALS FOR WEEK 8!!
CARDIO 2x a day, every day (even on weekends) for 1 hr. , 1 hr. has to be on the Stairmill, which is the most painful piece of cardio equipment I have ever been on in my life. The 2nd session either on the treadmill set on an incline or stationary bike. Last week I did 11 cardio sessions. 5 days I did cardio 2x a day, 1 day 1 cardio session, and the other day I was exhausted and didn’t do anything. Trainer says, “nooooooo days off, you only have 8 weeks!!!” Isn’t he hillarious?
WEIGHT TRAINING Train all body parts atleast 1x per week. That’s realtively easy, never had a problem with the weights. I’ve started to add a few shoulder & back movements in on leg days. Long story, I’ll have to tell you why I’m doing that in another blog.
DIET Stay on the diet. This is easy. I live alone so nobody bringing contraband food to the house!!! All of those close to me know what I’m doing. No one is asking me to go out to dinner, etc. One friend even said I could bring my diet food with me to the movies, LOL! I’d hate to open up a ziploc bag full of egg whites….I’d run errrrybody up outta there!! 
I went to a bowling party last weekend and everyone had something to say, but they were supportive. Funny thing is I can’t smell them. Cut out all artificial sweetners. I’ve heard that splenda and equal can cause bloating. I’m going to see how my body responds w/o it.
MENTAL Stay focused. When I am physically exhausted sometimes self doubt and anxiety can easily creep in. I’ve found what works best for me is studying pictures from previous shows, talking to other ppl who are also preparing for a show, and when I don’t feel like do something I tell myself that another person got up and trained even though they didn’t feel like it. That one always works.
Week 8, here I come!!!
