Today was a great day. I did 45 minutes on the treadmill and had the energy to run the last 10 minutes instead of a light jog or power walk. The run last for 6 minutes but I was impressed that I did that much. The downside to my cardio workout was developing a blister on the bottom of my right foot. This was a huge sign that I was rusty with my cardio. Geez! Two months of bulking with zero cardio will make anyone rusty. Well at least my body is happy to have cardio back in it’s life. I ordered my L Glutamine and Zinc from BB.com store. That shit is so cheap compared to the vitamin shoppe. I’m here to tell ya, bb.com store is for the frugal bodybuilders who refuse to buy their supplements from GNC!
In two weeks I’m going to start practicing my poses. I’m going to practice alone for a week and then every other week I practice with a friend who’s been competing for 7 years. He’ll critique me and then I go back to practicing again. I’m also going to change my workout routine and switch it up next week.

So starting next week my workout schedule will be

• Monday - Shoulders and back
• Tuesday -  biceps and triceps
• Wednesday - Legs and chest
• Thursday - Shoulders and back
• Friday - biceps and triceps
• Saturday - Legs
• Sunday - no workout

Wow! My body is going to be totally confused by this new schedule. LOL!!!!! So I think I’ll do 20 - 30 minutes of cardio twice a week and slowly move up to four times a week. I’ll see what my body looks like in February to see if I need to decrease or increase the cardio. I took  a long hard look in the mirror at myself today and I think my body fat percentage is 21% and most of it is in my ass and thighs. I will start my cutting phase next week. I think it’s best to start early so I can experiment with somethings and see how my body reacts.

I signed up for my CPR Certification Class today. The class is this Tuesday at 7:30 AM! Blah!  During the winter season I’m going to study for my personal trainers certification so I need to be CPR certified prior to taking the test.

Hmmmm? What else happened today? Oh I paid my phone bill so that means no more crazy talk with the collectors. Well, there’s always next month. HA!

Yeah, ya’ll heard me! Cardio is the bomb! I know it’s the least favorite exercise in the entire world but dammit………….it makes the fat go buh-bye!

Today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the treadmill!  I feel like a new woman right now but I miss those weights. I really really do!  I think I’m addicted to pumping iron. I wanted so badly to join my friends today and work on my shoulders but I was good. I just watched. Next week I can get back to lifting weights but right now I have to give my muscles a rest.

Oh and guess what? My waistline is going down but my booty measurement is still the same. WHOO HOO!!!!!!!

I hope my booty stays this size so when I tell a particular couple to kiss my ass they will have a huge area to choose from.

HA!

I had a great idea this morning. I think I’m going to start a video blog. I know there are some video blogs out there on youtube already but I’m going to do mine differently. I’m going to video myself twice a week for the entire month and then edit them all together into one short clip. So there will be a video blog clip for December, January, February, etc.  I’ll be sure to have the date displayed and I’ll stand in front of the camera giving an update on my progress, gym performance and eating. I may even bring my camera to my gym and have one of the guys tape me working out.

**ponders the thought**

Hmmmm? Maybe I should rethink that. LOL!!!!! My gym is sort of wild. It’s no L.A fitness or Golds. There’s always loud rap music playing in the background and the guys have extreme potty mouths. If I bring a camera there I’m afraid they may take their behavior up a notch. I’m gonna have to think about that but in the meantime filming my progress before my first competition is a good idea huh?

OK, time to hit the gym.

cya!

I have about 6 phone lines and sometimes I forget to pay one of them. Truth be told I need to get an assistant to help me keep track of all this stuff. If I’m a week or two late AT & T will call me. I told them to stop calling me because they have these people from India with terrible accents call me.  No one from America calls me about paying my American bill. AT & T should be ashame of themselves.

Anywho, today I decided to have a little fun with them when they called me today. It was a female this time. Usually I get guys but this time it was a woman.

This is how the conversation went.

AT & T bill collector - Hello this is AT & T can I speak to meisha jackson

Me - What?

*pure silence*

What the hell are you yelling for? I’m not deaf! Damn you people are so rude!

**click** She finally hangs up.

*sigh* Don’t you just love those type of calls? LOL

I am so proud of myself. When I woke up this morning I didn’t feel like going to the gym to do cardio but I went anyway. Hooray for me! I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and after that I worked on my abs. Then I showered and headed out the door. All of this was done in an hour and fifteen minutes. I never left the gym so early like that before. It felt like I was cheating myself by not staying longer but I had to remind myself that this week is rest week.

Tomorrow I’m just going to take off completely. I’m also going to buy another stop watch. I use to have one but lost it some where 5 months ago. I read a post by Titiana saying that she has a timer on her phone to go off every 2 hours so she can eat. I thought that was a good idea because I tend to get so caught up with my work that I forget to eat every 3 hours so I’m going to buy a stop watch and have it go off every 3 hours so I can stay consistent with my eating. That’s my weak area. I can push heavy weights, I can motivate myself to do cardio but when it comes to eating every 3 hours………..I fall behind.

PS - Walmart had a sale on thick sweatpants for $5! WHOO HOO! I brought 3 pairs. Yahoo for walmart!

My cardio day went well. I wasn’t going to go at first but after getting pissed off earlier I had the motivation to hit the gym. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and fifteen minutes on the treadmill. I feel so alive right now. I wonder if I’m going to get my booty up tomorrow and do the same thing?

Time will tell but I have a funny feeling I’ll do it.

I have a question.

My first competition is in April. Should I start eating clean in December or January? Right now I think my bodyfat percentage is between 18 - 20%

How many weeks out before I completely cut out carbs? Or do I need to completely cut out  carbs?

I’ve been relaxing all day thinking about my up coming week. Yesterday was my last day lifting weights because I’m taking off this week so my muscles can get some rest. The only thing I’m doing this week is cardio and abs. I must admit, I’ve been a little lazy working out my abs. Hopefully I’ll make up for it this week. I need to do all I can before progress picture day.

Yesterday I did legs and biceps. Oh and Mr 140 tried to apologize but I ignored him and pretend he wasn’t there. I forgot how much fun it is to ignore people. I haven’t done it in a long time. It feels good. Especially when you ignore people who deserve it.

In 6 days it will be December! Can you believe that? This year has gone by sooooooooo fast. Geez! My competition is going to be here in no time! Time is going by so fast!

I got an email from a good friend of mine telling me that she’s giving me the claps for Christmas. At first she wanted to give me   Chlamydia but changed her mind and decided on the claps even though herpes looked cute too. Before I went ballistic I continued to read the email. I clicked on this link to a toy company who makes stuff animals that represent bacteria and diseases. They have them all, E-Coli, Salmonella, Staph, Malaria……….everything!

They are called Giant Microbes and they come in a variety of characters. Below is Chlamydia, Herpes, Syphillis and The Clap!
