The Bad: I paid to use the gym at work before examining the "training room"–what a big mistake. It has nautilus  equipment from what looks like the 70’s–stuff that Arnold used back in the day. There aren’t any free weights and the cable station is lacking a seated row section and a seat to do lat pull downs (I can do them on my knees). I need to train two days in the afternoon at work b/c of my children’s school schedule. Now I am stuck with the task of modifying my training program and need to figure out viable alternatives for back, chest, bicep and triceps. Well, the best plans are made to be changed.

The good part of last week was the fact that I was able to do three 6 a.m. cardio sessions and one afternoon cardio session along with four days of weight training  I had to train three days back to back because my son was sick one day. I was sore from my traps to ankles, but got done;)

Here are my pre comp stats from the fall:

Bust: 34.5, Waist: 27, Hips: 36, Thighs: 21 and weight 148 lbs.

My current measurements are the same, but my weight Is 153 lbs.

My competion prep goals are:

Bust: 34.5, Waist: 25.5, Hips: 34.5, Thighs: 20.5 and weight 139 or less

I need to make a few modifications to my daily food intake–cut mixed nut serving in half and cut out the evening Myoplex. I hope to drop 2 lbs this week, but will be looking at measurements more than weight these next couple of weeks.

I must order my suit within the next two weeks. I am going to order another plain two piece from Lidia Conti Bodywear again and decorate myself.

Hopefully, I will get the swing of using the old equipment at work so that I can continue to make progress. Some of the male students are more than happy to interpret the machine use.
