Random thoughts & feelings….
I have been doing nothing but celebrating my victory!! hehe… I’ve only done 45 mins of cardio on Monday, that was my RPM class. I’ve been eating all those yummy delicious foods I’ve been missing & craving and each time I get really full and a pain in my side, I seriously feel sick from them, WTF 
I’m kinda saddened by this because I loved "the junk" and at the same time joyful as I hope dieting a second time around will be easier and eventually a lifestyle… I feel bloated, lazy, and tired and I don’t like feeling that way. Even though I was run down by cardio, cardio and more cardio - I can now see the diet playing a role in my strength and energy levels. The best part is how diet can change the body and how efficient it becomes, I hope this is a lesson learned!! So Thurs/Friday I will start dieting again…. I have to grocery shop first and tomorrow is Halloween so I am dressing up and going out, once again enjoying myself but NOT going crazy. I hope everyone here stays safe!
On another note… I was thinking about changing trainers. I just pondered the fact that I might do better with someone else as my guide or maybe not because I really wasn’t as strict as I could’ve been and could I even be with this new one? As the new one sounds stricter- like zero carbs for 12 weeks strict!!! I don’t even know how ‘healthy’ that would be??! I’m just curious to see a different approach and if my body would respond different or quicker. Anyway, this was something I was wondering, on the other hand I love my trainer and do have faith in him as he has gotten me this far and I have a sense of commitment to him and would love to work with him in the future if possible.. so what am i to do? If I were to switch- how do you break the news? What’s best- wait and see after another competition?
My goal next time is to be more dedicated and focused and realize that the day will come to stand up there- so how ready will I be? I want to be overly ready!!!
So where to go from here?? Anyone also know of any natural shows coming up in a few months or Spring 08′ in the NY, PA, NJ, MA areas??? Let me know! But i’ll be doing my research. Thanks!!!

Utilize them both: but as consultants instead of full-time trainers. When you have questions, enlist their input. They may not be down with this concept, but this type of scenario would benefit you most, and ultimately, isn’t that the point?

Ultimately, only you know what will work for you. I’ve tried the zero carbs, but I really need some fiber and green veggies or I just feel sick.
Isn’t it funny how you crave the bad stuff only to find you can’t tolerate it anymore. After nearly four years, I’m finding the cravings come less and less. That is a good thing!
