I have just about eight weeks before my first competition ever….I’m excited, nervous, but pumped to truly undertake this task. I know if I can get into stage shape in two months, then I can do just about anything. I have a whole slew of supplements, from this new yummy Dessert protein to Redline (gosh that stuff is amazing). I’m bumping up my cardio to two sessions a day: 30 min interval training/functional drills in the mornings and the 45-60 min. steady state or intervals in the evenings. Next week, I get stricter with my diet–only a serving of fruit per day. What will I do without my sweets?

I’ve finally done it. I went out and got a personal trainer to whip my behind into shape. So we’ve pretty much abandoned my traditional bodybuilding-esque split routine in favor of circuit training with lots of pylometrics. No more hard-core leg workouts…we are trying to break down some of the muscle in my thunder thighs and slim down my hips and butt so that my physique can be more symmetrical. I also have to run a lot. Sigh. Who said this was going to be easy? I also cooked my meals for the week: baked my sweet potatoes and cooked a pot of brown rice, seasoned cod, tilapia and salmon and steamed some spinach, broccoli and string beans. I used to be addicted to chicken…but have noticed a difference since I’ve stopped eating religiously. We’ll see what the consistency brings. In the meanwhile, besos.
