I met my sweet girlfriend Cynthia at the gym today…and we got on the treadmill and did some sprint work…we warmed up for a couple of minutes ( fast walk ) Then we began to really work up a sweat….I really really love to run…your body just feels so strong when you are running at full speed….I try not to run too much because my trainer says I’ll get a flat backside if I run…so that’s not very sexy…..anyways…it was a sprint workout so I’m not too worried….you know what really really made the sprint workout intense ??? getting off the treadmill every so often and doing some jump squats, jump lunges, pushups, & sit ups…then back on the treadmill for another sprint…ok so everyone thinks I’ve gone crazy at the gym but man… that really takes the cardio workout to another level….I’m going later tonight back to the gym for a circuit training session…according to my trainer…there is no such thing as a weekend for a competitor…so it’s business as usual for me …that’s ok  I am grateful for my life and the opportunity to indulge myself in such a fun hobby !  LIFE IS DELISHISH EVERYONE….go out there and have some fun… let’s all just lighten up about our lives and just relax today and be in the moment….HAPPY HALLOWEEN >>>WOOHOO>>> 

I took the cardio outside today….back to the stairs…it was another great morning…man I was feeling really good this morning…my energy was back….yesterday was my high carb day (50 grams) ….. woohoo…you would think I was getting a piece of cake on high carb day I’m soo giddy !! Anyways….back to my run…the morning air was sooo refreshing…it felt sooo amazing to fill my lungs with the nice brisk moist air…I felt like a machine…I was going non stop on my run…it’s the best feeling when you are at your peak shape and your body is just strong …. well….it’s only 3 more weeks before my competition !!! And then … I get to EAT ….  ok just  a little : )

Ok…last blog for the day ( I really like this blogging stuff it’s a bit therapeutic… ;  ) Anyways…I went to Trader Joes and found Pumpkin Spice…in a powder form…….and I usually make pancakes using egg whites, Splenda, oats & cinnamon…but this time I also added some of the pumpkin spice….WOOHOOO !! I was in heaven… it was almost like pumpkin bread…now I don’t have to feel like I’m missing out on Halloween…it makes your house smell sooooo gooood too…very cozy … use some sugar free syrup and DELISH…… : ) and those not close to a show, I would add some raisons too… anyways have fun with this one !

Ok…so I was a little tired today…I woke up at 4:30 am to go to the gym and only did 30 minutes of cardio and a very half ass job of a short circuit with weights….hummmm…I guess it has to be normal since I’m like on 1000 calories a day…I’m officially getting a little burnt out with my workouts,diet, cardio….man  this competing is not for the weak…anyways I’m just pulling my shoulders back and I’m not beating myself up about my workout this morning…I will just give it a second round this evening after work…. I CAN DO THIS !! WOOHOOO " LIFE IS GOOD AND GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY !"

I live in San Diego and the wheather here is amazing…(maybe that’s why I’m always so happy ! ) Anyways, I took my cardio outside….I did 40 minutes of convention center stairs…it felt amazing to be outside in the great brisk morning weather…the convention center overlooks San Diego’s bay….man,,,it doesn’t get any better than that I tell ya !  I came home and had a yummy mushroom omlet and a salad…today is my ZERO carb day….so I am going to stuff myself with veggies all day long…Have a great day everyone !!! ; )

So I’m probably eating around 1,000 calories a day right now…rotating carbs…on a 0-1-2, doing 2 cardio sessions a day, circuit training every other day, and Pilates every other day…can I just tell you how dang tired I am …. I am sooo freakin hungry….I go to bed hungry and I wake up hungry….I’m pretty much tired all day… and going a bit delirious fanaticizing about a glass of wine…Merlot…yummm…maybe with a big piece of chocolate cake….this is when you really have to dig deep in your spirit to find the energy to get everything done….you really have to be passionate about competition….but I have to say that it worth all the sacrifice, hard work, time & commitment…..it is the most rewarding feeling to see your body change…to see your body the best it can be…I am truly grateful I love to compete….it’s such a rush to be on stage….by the way did I tell you guys how much I love LIFE ????? NAMASTE 

So I’m officially 4 weeks out from FAP in Vegas…I’m changing the workouts now to circuit training….I’m hoping the shock to my body is what I need to get my bodyfat to go down….I am soo excited about competing in Vegas…like I said before ….I do the show so that I can be in the best shape for my own personal goals…..I must admit it is sooo rewarding to watch your body change …. I really do enjoy this journey…did I tell you guys how much I love life ???? Let’s all go and live in the moment today…let’s just spend the day being grateful for all that we have …. : )

Well….since I am on the STRICTEST diet known to man…I will be relaxing this weekend…I am on white fish, egg whites, very little fruit…( a cup of strawberries ) and green veggies…I’m rotating carbs…and only have sweet potatoe or oatmeal…I must say that my skin is looking pretty amazing….it’s crazy how clean eating really makes a differance in your appearance….anyways…HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE !!!

As of today 132….wow…I can’t believe how slow that scale moves…but I am not giving up on making the November show…I am going to diet all the way …… go to the show…. and as long as I look decent….I’m getting on that stage….I am doing this for myself….so, I’m not worried about what anyone thinks of me…..this is a personal goal…competing helps me be in the best shape so that I am proud of myself…so what if I’ll be a little more volumptuos than the rest of the competitors….I feel soooo alive and happy on that stage….woohoo….I’m excited !!!
