Burnt out already and it’s only Wednesday!
Well my trainer demands 4 lbs lost by today since Sunday. I lost 3 lbs so I’m happy about that. I’ve done 5 cardio sessions since Sunday. None today yet because you’re not supposed to exercise 24 hrs before doing body composition and I don’t want to do anything to throw it off. I had a migraine on Sunday after I left him and still went to do cardio for 45 mins. I haven’t been able to drag myself out of bed in the morning because I haven’t been getting enough sleep so I go to the gym at lunch to do 30 mins and then another 30 mins after my evening workout.
I have to look for an evening gown that I want made for the show but I can’t seem to find anything to do with bodybuilding shows. I don’t think alot of organizations do this. The evening show I have to wear an evening gown like in a beauty pagent…strange. Anyhow, I also need to find a new pair of shoes. The ones I have are ridiculously high. I really don’t feel comfortable wearing them so I need to find 4" heels preferably with suade on the inside so they do get slippery from sweat….gross! I have to really start practicing posing tonight. I haven’t really practiced much because it seems I can’t stay focused on just this competition. My husband puts alot of pressure on me to study for my Flash certification while I’m trying to do this and I don’t want to do that because it takes my mind off this and I can’t focus. I told him on the weekend to back off and try putting some pressure on his lazy son who has 3 F’s and a 1.6 GPA! He agreed so I think he’s going to lay off me now. He thinks I’m superwoman or something.
So I’ll post my results from my body composition tonight. I’m praying they’ll be lower than 3 weeks ago because if not…I’m 3 weeks behind. My bodyfat was at 19% and when I went on Sunday it was up to 25% but he said it was off because I drank alcohol the less than 12 hrs before, at lots of salt tostitos and drank coffee before I went to see him. You think I’d learn…

Hopefully he does get the point and lay off of you. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Keep up the good work. I thought being a soldier was hard. Whew!!! Well, good luck and you look great. Just a normal compliment. Have a great workout.

Rest is vital once you get to the point of burn out bad thing can occur such as fat gain and wter retention and loss of LBM. Be careful
