 4 weeks out! I started consistently doing cardio this week. I skipped some rope for 30 minutes on Sunday, and did some interval training on the bike Monday night. I did one minute sprint and one minute slower paced cycling for 20 minutes. Those intervals are bustin’ my butt! Talk about difficulty walking!I’m trying to alternate that with regular cardio for variety.

My calves were ridiculously sore from not skipping rope for about 7 months. Bought some handwraps along with my brand new Nike rope (love that thing!!)  Might start hitting the bag again. I haven’t hit a heavy bag in like 15 years. Probably be extremely exhausted after that, but it’s nice to have different options than just the treadmill.

 I might get some more cardio in Friday night or Saturday morning.  I got all the way up to 183 at one point in weight, and now I’m down to 175.  168 here I come! I cut 40 carbs a day out of my meal plan this week. That puts me around 180 to 200 carbs now.  This is my 4th day on the lower carb total. I can definintely feel the difference. Workouts are good because I lift in the morning and feel fresh, but when 9pm rolls around I’m strugglin’. 

I went to a black history banquet for work yesterday, and had to shake my leg just to stay awake around 9pm last night. I had lunch @ 3:30pm which had a  sweet potato, and drank a 60 g protein drink with Barleans greens @ 6.  We had dinner @ 7 for the banquet. I had a 2 nice pieces of baked chicken but they had macaroni and cheese and carrot cake! I pushed that aside and had a little sliver of mashed sweet potato.  It just wasn’t the same as the medium sized sweet potato I usually have at that time. That’s why I was struggling big time between 8 and 10 last night.   

My legs are get more defined, just need to get some fat off my obliques!! Gotta get more diligent in my posing and water intake. Those are my goals for the weekend and next week! Not too much time left!

I ordered my posing trunks. V-cut in the front with the 1 inch sides.  What the hell have I gotten myself into!!!!!!!
