6 Weeks Out
Well, I’m 6 weeks out from Jr Nationals. I had a pretty good week training. I’m continuing to train legs 2 times a week in order to get my glute/ham tie in looking good. I just got back from a 4 mile run and will hit the gym to train chest and abs, followed by cardio again. I started training my abs last week with a program designed by Elijah Maine (Supermaine). So far I’m pretty satisfied with the workouts. He has an exercise that really works my obliques and I absolutely love it.
As far as how my body is looking at 6 weeks out, well, I’m not quite sure. It’s hard for me to critique myself, since I look at myself in the mirror and step on the scale every morning. My husband seems pleased, but I continue to wonder if my legs will look the way I need them to look at my competition. I’m happy with my upper half, its my lower half that always leaves me puzzled… I can definitely tell my body is leaner and my muscles are really taking a nice shape. My body feels more compact or dense. I guess when I say that, I mean, nothing seems to jiggle or move when I’m doing cardio.
At 8 weeks out, I was 11% bodyfat. I will measure that this Friday before I go on a new diet routine. Hopefully, I’ll have dropped at least a percent. My goal is to be at 8% for my competition if not lower.
My attitude right now sucks and my husband isn’t afraid to let me know it. He’ll call me out when I’m being a bitch. The change in attitude, besides being tired and hungry all the time, is what sucks for me. My job, at the moment, is stressful and that isn’t helping my attitude. Hopefully, I’ll start to keep myself in check and present a better attitude.
