Hey ya’ll, just thought I’d let you know that I am now posting videos of some of the things I am doing to get in shape. They are not really instructional, as much as documentation of this road the I am traveling on. Let me know your thoughts.

Yours in fitness,

Christina

So, as you may know I have been cutting like crazy. I have been doing cardio like a cracked out bunny for months, weight training,  and doing plyometrics. For the last month I have been living on, meats, vegetables, sugar free jello, diet soda, and whey protein with weekly carb ups. I was tracking, even though I knew better, my body fat with an Omron fat-loss monitor. The thing never read me below 17%, even though I was doing everything right and looking amazing. I had been stalling, on getting a hydrostatic weighing, through Mobile  Body Fat Test, becuase, it was accurate, and I was afraid it would show me just how fat I really am. Boy was I wrong!!!!!

It read me at 117lbs and 9.1% bodyfat. I am still in shock and extreamly happy that all my work paid off. Even better, is the comfort of knowing that I do know what I am doing, in this fitness thing, and I should keep on trucking to my first comp in ‘09.

I get to stop cardio(hurray!!!) and just do weights 6 days/week and plyo 2 days/week.

Updated Goals:

• Generally Build-up while maintaining 14-16% body fat
• To continuing building a nice v-taper.
• Build rounder, mature shoulders
• To be 120-125 at 6-8% by comp time.

Wish me luck!

Dammit! I stayed home today to get some work done that needs doing around the house and buy some supps. I trained in the my boyfriend built, and just didn’t have it in me today. I never train as I hard as I do when at the gym, but today I just gave up because of lack of energy. I switched fat burners, to give myself a month break, and maybe that’s why I am sooooo hungry and tired. Might have to go back on the old one until I am done cutting.

Yesterday, I could not stop eating. I didn’t have any cheat foods, but I am in the “assessment phase” of the Metabolic Diet, and until a couple of days ago had no problem with hunger. I just started eating everything in my fridge. Not the best plan. I gained back all of the weight I lost! Now, the weight gain maybe due to my Aunt Flow, coming to visit soon, but I can’t be sure, cause I was such a pig.

At least, I only ate foods that I was supposed to eat. No cake, cookie and ice cream. I even went to my 1 year old nieces birthday party, and didn’t touch a thing. I went into the bedroom several times and scarfed down my low-carb protien bars.

My binges were just cheeses, meats, and vegetables and good fats. Still it’s the amounts I am guilty about.

Wondering if I have what it takes to compete. If I can’t even cut to 14%, how in the world am I going to get to 8-10% for a competition.

My goal is to get lean before the winter, then gain about 5lbs more muscle, while maintaining 14%. Is this possible? Right now, I am between 16 and 18%, and I can tell.

Just a little more, I am felling better as I write this. This is the hardest thing I’ll ever do and I am not going to quit. But you won’t see me on stage fat and without muscle. That is for lazy bitches.

Back to the gym tomorrow. Wish me luck!
