7 Weeks Out, Looking @ Posing Suits & Counting Up the Cost
I spent at least 3 hours on line looking at posing suits this weekend. I would have got one off of ebay, but I’m too darn tall:(. While I’d love to have all the sparkles, etc., I really don’t want to spend the $$ on the crystals & other glamorous detail. The kids need more clothes; soccer & dance season along with the basic living expenses make it a tight squeeze. Ummm, where’s a fairy godmother when I need her?
My food bill has already increased. I’m experimenting with a new food plan b/c I was bored with my diet. I started the BCAA, glucosamine & glutamine again and plan to take 1/2 recommended dose of Hydroxycut for at least the next 4 weeks. I’ve already dropped some water weight. I haven’t started cutting calories and only plan to decrease by 10 to 15% unless the bodyfat wants to cling. I’ll start the cutting back on the carbs 9/29–I’ve already been restricting my peanut butter intake (what a bummer).
Training is going well, the supersets really get the heart rate up and it’s a great way to start the day. I will have to modify my training to include core in the next 2 weeks (e.g. shoulder press with lunges or curls on the stabilizing ball).
I also have to start practicing poses. I am such a clutz and generally don’t do heels so we’ll see what happens. I do plan to work with my trainer in Oct. for posing practice, but would like to get a general idea of how to do the quarter turns and just get some time in standing in those stripper shoes in that front relaxed pose before I start working with him.
