So today I did shoulders and back. I started doing pull ups and I can fill the muscles in back bulging. I never felt that before but then again I never did pull ups before. I noticed that each year I add something to my exercise routine that improves my physique even more. I always used the excuse of having long arms to prevent me from doing pull ups but when I saw a video of Quincy Taylor (who’s 6′4") and Toney Freeman (who’s 6′2") do them with no problem that’s when I started to get my act together and stop making excuses. I’ve been doing them for a month now and I can tell that I’m getting stronger each week by adding two extra reps.

Ok I was going to talk about Muay Thai but I’m tired and I think I’m gonna go to be early tonight. I really worked my ass off in the gym today.

And tomorrow is the day I finally have my official cheat meal. I’m not going to go all out and truth be told I’m not doing the Thanksgiving thing anyway. I don’t have any plans for tomorrow except for working out and catching up on work. Hey? Don’t worry……..I’ll be just fine. I’m still in contest prep mode and I’m not really in the mood to binge on traditional thanksgiving meals. So my cheat meal tomorrow will be my favorite cheat meal……….OATMEAL PANCAKES!!!! For those of you who followed me on my journey last year noticed that I love having breakfast food as my cheat meal. I either have pancakes, waffles, french toast or several egg & cheese biscuits. Mmmmmm! Since I was half assing with my diet the first two weeks of this month I decided to not allow a cheat meal until I got my act together. I finally got my act together two weeks ago and now I’m 100% in the game.

Ok, I’m gonna have to cut this one shot because I’m pressed for time. I’ll be back later to talk about my Muay Thai class last night.

Let’s get Kassandre in that spokes model position.

Oh how I missed my BB.com

I was gone for damn near three days but now I’m back. Being a one woman show has it’s good points and down points. The good thing is that I get paid all the money earned because I scratch out the middle man. The bad things is that when things break down or websites go on the blitz I have to drop everything and handle it personally. Why? Because I don’t have a middle man to do it for me. But no worries because I believe in that old saying "If you want something done right you have to do it yourself."

So I’m on week four of my contest diet and the fat is slowly melting away. I’ll be taking progress pictures next week to show off my improvements. I’m looking forward to that. Soon I’m going to prepare my gym back for Muay Thai today and then eat my 3rd meal. I have more to say but I’m press for time.

Just wanted to let you all know that I’m alive and still kickin’

cya

So for the second time I had to choose between working Legs or going to my MMA center and I had to pick Legs. I hate missing Muay Thai training. I hate it, hate it, hate it!!!!!!! I’m also behind in some office work. Right now I’m tired from drilling my legs and I still have some work to do!

BTW - Vote for Making_A_Change. She’s a really cool chick who has a pair of wheels that I would kill for! However, I’ll be getting those wheels as soon as my comp day approaches. They are not seen at the moment due to all the FAT covering them. LOL!!!!

Tomorrow is arms and I’ve been sticking with my cardio every morning. At first I was doing it for 5 days a week but now it turned into a habit so what was 5 days a week turned into 7 days a week. I don’t have a problem with doing morning cardio because that’s the time when I get to think about my day. It’s very relaxing. I know that’s hard to believe but my morning cardio is relaxing. Meh? Go figure.

Cya!

*sigh*

Guess who’s gonna miss Muay Thai training today because I’m running late for my leg workout?

Yup! You guessed it.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So today is the first day that I FINALLY switched mentally to prep mode. Guess what I did? Remember that last jar of PB I was gonna savor for the next week and not buy anymore? Well I threw that sh*t away! Yup, I threw a brand new jar of peanut butter in the trash. I picked it up, looked at it, cussed it out, opened it and then proceed to dump it in the trash. BYE BYE YOU EVIL DOER!!!!!

I can’t believe I’m doing this in the third week of my prep. I never been this way. Every contest prep I started and ended with 100% dedication but this time I cheat the first two weeks with PB and almonds. Now I am there mentally so no more worries about cheating anymore.

By the way, did you vote today? It only takes one second to vote. Here! I’ll put the link up for you.

So today was Muay Thai class and as always it was great. My new schedule is working out just fine. Instead of going to my gym to work arms I go to my fitness center 2 hours early. So what I’m doing is hitting my weights first and then use Muay Thai as my cardio.

Right now I’m tired as all get out so I’m not gonna be long winded today. Hope everyone is having a great week. I’ll holla at ya tomorrow.

Cya!

So I opened my last jar of Peanut Butter today and I told myself to enjoy it because we won’t have anymore. So since I know that this is my last jar I’m actually savoring it instead of going overboard with it like I did last week. I’m not cheating with it and only have 1 tablespoon with my protein shake instead of having two or three. Even though I’m behaving with this stuff I am going to stick to my guns and make this my last jar.

So Muay Thai was awesome today. I sparred with a guy who was 6′7"!!!!!! He popped me in the eye and my contact lenses fell out. While I was putting it back in my trainer thought I was hurt and so did the rest of the class but I calmed their fears by saying "I’m OK guys. My contact lenses popped out". I thought it was so cool that everyone was so concerned for me. Even though I consider myself a "tomboy" in the class I guess the rest of the guys don’t see it that way. How nice!

I talked to Keith today and he agreed that I rolled relaxed and did a very good job. He said that instead of dropping BJJ training completely until I finish competing that I should just learn technique and don’t roll afterward.  DON’T ROLL AFTERWARD??? Me? Don’t roll after learning a new technique? Pfft! That’s like putting chocolate cake in my mouth and asking me not to chew. I can’t come to a BJJ class and not roll. So you know what? I’ll just play it by ear. If I feel that I can hang in BJJ (which I doubt will ever happen) I’ll come to the class, otherwise I’ll just double up on my Muay Thai.

Ok, well I just finished my protein shake for the day so now I’m going to head to bed.

Nite!

You can vote everyday. Let’s help Kassandre get that spot.

So like I said yesterday this is the start of week three for my cut and even though I’ve lost some weight and inches I’ve been going a little crazy on the PB and almond nuts. I don’t know why that is my weakness but it is. So today is no weight lifting but I did do cardio this morning and I’ll be going to my MMA training center later this afternoon for Muay Thai (mo’ cardio). When I get there I’ll be sure to tell Keith what went down last Thursday. I can’t wait to here is brutally honest reply. LOL!!!!

Ok, time to do my chores. I’ll be back later tonight to tell ya’ll what happened.

Cya!

Today was leg day and damn I pushed those weights today. I felt like super woman. Thanks White Flood! That stuff is my crack! So today is the start of week three and I must say that last week was rough (thanks to aunt flow) I sabotage myself with almonds and peanut butter. This week I have one more jar of PB and after that I’m gonna have to stop buying he stuff. I have no self control when it comes to nuts and nut butter. UGH!

It’s a shame that I have to be the mother and the child at the same time. The child in me is eating PB and almonds like there’s no tomorrow and the mother in me have to stop buying it.

My legs are sore right now but I rather feel this type of soreness than what I felt last week after BJJ class. Good Lawrd! That was awful. Ok, so now I’m tired so off to bed I go.

Good night!
