4:42 PM - 2008 Debbie Kruck Classic

I know you are all wanting to know how the show went….

It went GREAT! I am qualified for Nationals in Atlanta, November 21-22, 2008!

I placed 2nd in the open B figure class. For those of you who don’t have a clue….just means I competed in a height class. The B class is comprised of girls of a certain "height", any age. I continue to compete in open instead of masters (age divided classes).  Knowing I more than likely will be standing next to some hot, 20 something bombshell makes me work that much harder. Talk about putting some fire under your feet!

I am thrilled with my show prep and completion. My goal was to lean out and keep the booty, I did it! Unless you have built muscle there, its very hard to lean out and keep a rounded tush!

Thank all of you for your never ending support, I love you guys!

One of the 3 down! Two more weeks to go before showtime!

 This week I get a little cranky and tired, ask Walt! I swear those donuts aren’t just calling…..They are screaming my name!!!!

I have stopped my carb rotation and go more on a day to day basis. Looking and seeing how I feel.

* eliminated most carbs except 1 serving of oatmeal a day.

* no more beef, but have included salmom because I am really lean. My metabolism can get out of control from the around the clock eating. Not such a bad thing! Keeping some good fat in my diet keeps me a little fuller looking.

*In the am along with my eggwhites I replaced my 1 slice of Ezekiel with 1/2 a grapefruit. Omg! Does that taste good!

*I also bump my water up to a gallon and 1/2. This really helps tighten me up next week when I cut before the show.

Its 9pm! Bed!

Three Weeks Out

and……I feel GREAT!

 I decided years ago that show prep is what I love , walking on stage is just icing on the cake. Icing! omg! Its happening! lol

Its been 5 weeks since I commited myself to my first show of the 2008 season. With the lack of show planning early in the year, I found myself with withdrawal symtoms. I love setting goals and reaching them. I love competing!!!!!

I love to “work” on a specific body part for an upcoming show. This time, it was my glutes. You know gravity can take over! I am happy with the results. I actually have more of a butt than I did when I was 20!

My diet is SUPER clean and as regimented as regimented can get.

I have eliminated my one cheat meal on the weekends.

Start my meals with a 5am alarm so that I get a total of 7 meals a day.

No fruit or dairy.

One beef day a week.

Carb rotating on a 4 day cycle.

These last 3 weeks are the hardest! Krispy Kremes start calling my name …..I swear!

A few things I told my clients today…..to keep them MOTIVATED!

Start with the end in mind. This is an interesting concept. Try it!

Progress is progress. No matter what the progress…its progress. It may not be what “you” expect, but is it ever?

Sometimes you have to take one step back to move forward 2! Its how we learn.

Its easier to take off 5lbs…..easier than 20, 30, 40! Remember that.

Hang that dress thats a size too small where you can see it daily. Don’t say “if I can get into that dress” instead see yourself already in it! Everyday see yourself in it and feeling great! Its just a matter of time. A positive attitude will carry you further than you think!

Think of your health goals as a conscious decision you are CHOSING. If you mentally make a note, “I choose to eat this way and workout”…..it NEVER feels like a chore.

You can never have too much motivation!
