I wish I was an ectomorph. All my research I have done the past few years reading books and on this site makes me dream of what I might look like as such. I would eat LOTS of carbs, build muscle busting my butt in the gym everyday and have a tight skin wrap to start with…..I’d have killer abs and I would be able to easily drop body fat through no rest circuit training. Sounds ideal to me…..I am just jealous! LOL!! 

A friend of mine here on the site has been nominated to enter the Best Female Physique Part 2 contest.Check out this profile! http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/HauteMama_ToTwo/She is such an inspiration to moms out there! I am so impressed with her physique and she is just as beautiful on the inside.

Today was my son’s 8th birthday. We decided to take a few of his friends with us to an amusement/water park to celebrate. I had been really looking forward to this, with all my competition prep…there hasn’t been many family outings. So, I went all out as a mom the past few days. It’s been alot of fun just doing all the party preparation. I woke up this morning and was raring to go. I packed all the towels, snacks, juice boxes etc. I made the kids breakfast and put on their sunblock. I decorated the table for when we returned home to have birthday cake. I wrapped my son’s presents. We arrived at the park and had a blast ! A few hours later…I started to feel " weird,weak,needing to eat…etc". I realized I had not brought ONE thing for me to eat. This is the first time in SO long I have done that. I looked around and there were nothing but fast food meals. OH NO!! What do I do? I didn’t eat for awhile. My husband bought a bucket of FRIED chicken tenders and asked me to please have some. Oh geez, I can’t remember the last time I ate anything like that. I did eat…..I still cannot believe I didn’t even think to bring my food with me. After we ate and went back to the water slide, I looked down at my skin…getting all burnt. It was 85 degrees I believe. I FORGOT to put sunblock on!  Needless to say, I am looking much like a lobster as I type this….ha ha.

This is the kind of day I needed. Just a mom……I am always trying to improve. For just one day, I completely forgot about myself…..and it felt good.

I had to post this because it is a treat I have been enjoying without guilt. Basically, I make Jello Instant chocolate -sugar free ,fat free pudding to start. It whips up with 2 cups of skim milk. I then add 1 rounded scoop of Scivation whey chocolate protein (THE BEST OUT THERE, HANDS DOWN) to half the pudding and save the other half. Finally, I top it off with a  1 tbsp of Skippy Natural peanut butter. It tastes like a peanut butter cup…yum. Depending on how many carbs I can have to eat at the time, I sometimes reduce the  Jello pudding portion to stay on nutrition plan. Enjoy!!

Although I am not sure what is next on the agenda…one thing is certain. I am starting right back up with the workouts right away. I feel rested and ready to go….I have spent the last two days eating WHATEVER I wanted. The deprived cravings are all outta my system now, and today I am back to eating clean. I took the "carb load" to a whole new level….LOL…I may not need any for a long, long, long time!! DO WORK….NORTON STYLE!!
