Almost 4 weeks after the show
It’s been almost 4 weeks since my first show and I’m doing alot better than I thought I’d be. I think my motivation is the fact that I’m going home to Canada next Friday and I want to look good. And an even bigger motivation to continue to eat as clean as possible while I’m there is that I’m meeting my husbands family in New Jersey for the first time after being married for 2 1/2 years! It’s really hard with all these tempting snacks everywhere I go.
I’ve been doing my cardio at least 4-5 times a week, eating clean and breaking into the heaving lifting scene. I only gained 5 lbs since the show and I’m really happy about that. I can still see all the veins in my arms and I still have abs and I want to continue to maintain that. I still cheat now and again but I make sure I go work it off if I do.
I decided to take some courses at my community college in January towards the Personal Trainer degree. I’m taking nutrition first. I figure that’s the foundation so that’s where I should start. Without it I wouldn’t have this body for sure. I want to take Physiology and Anatomy but there’s a prereq of Medical Terminology and for that I have to wait for my transcript to get there from the college in Canada for my English credit. Such a pain going through all this process.
So I’ll be extremely busy after Christmas because come January 1st it’s 17 weeks out from my next show and alot of studying for school. I figure I have a pretty good foundation (body wise) so I shouldn’t have to work so hard and so much for the next show. I’ll be hiring Jay again as a nutritionist because he is awesome and really knows his stuff. I’m very happy with him. I definitely won’t be hiring a personal trainer because I just don’t have the money. I feel I know what I’m doing. I know what works for my body so what’s the point in paying someone to stand over me and tell me to do it. I don’t need motivation…I already have it.
K…off to the gym in this aweful snowy weather….peace out…
