COMPETE 2 WIN!!!!

Hello All!!

I’m feeling much better today!  I weighed in at 127 this morning….so that’s 2 pounds from last Saturday…actually 3.5 pounds b/c I was fluctuation between 129-130.5 all of Week 7. I just happend to be 129 Saturday, by Sunday I was back up to 130.5.  I was very frustrated last week so I did two small changes to my diet which seemed to help.   I decided to cut out the protein powder and substitute those 2 meals w/ fish and veggies and decided that I had to drink a minimum of 1 gallon of water a day, not 3/4 a gallon, but a gallon.  (this is something that I should have been doing my entire prep).  I know the additional liter of water definitely assisted me in dropping some water weight and my abs do appear tighter!! I’m so glad that  it worked.  Mentally, I decided that weighing myself daily was just making me a nervous wreck.  It wouuld just make me so upset to do cardio 3x a day and the next day be the exact same weight. 

Here I am at 5 weeks out!  Time is flying by now.  For this week, I’ll continue to follow my diet, shoot for  1- 1 1/2 gallon of water per day, cardio daily 2-3x a day for a minimum of an hour/weight training, and just keeping my stress level as low as possible.  Last week I decided I needed to make some changes about how I was handling some personal issues and the change has greatly helped me emotionally.  I feel better, finally!  So, I think stress definitely plays into how my physique reacts as well. 

Anywho, I’ll be posting progress pics tomorrow!! Stay tuned and have a great weekend!!
