ALL the kids and hubby are sick (I got the flu shot), so after getting home from the gym and eating my egg whites my daughter tosses her cookies all over the floor, meanwhile the other 3 are on the couch coughing and moaning. Turns out hubs had just given her some cough medicine which apparently didn’t agree with her. So I give her a bath, get her settled and make everyone grits (not me… I know the GI index, but it makes their tummies feel better). I just pray I don’t catch it. I just want to be able to stick to my training schedule for my upcoming contest (since sticking to the diet is another story. Hey, at least I passed on the grits!!!)
To kick things into gear since I only have 8 weeks left I’ve been doing all my cardio wearing a 10 pound weight vest.
Hopefully, everyone will be better soon and I won"t have to make so much "comfort food"!

I’m starting to see some gains in my upper body. Maybe it’s the Cyclin, hmm… I’ve noticed my skin is breaking out too. Not happy about that. I never had skin problems, hmmm…

I decided to do another show in March. I did some damage over the holidays, but hey, I still have that underlying foundation under there, somewhere, beneath all that cellulite, I hope. I’ve already charted out my training and diet plan and I have a new one piece. Trained shoulders today. Tomorrow is back and triceps. I’m using a new supplement this time called Cyclin, it’s supposed to "awaken dormant muscle cells while inducing REM sleep." We’ll see.
