Five weeks out, five pounds & two inches to go, it was nice to hear that my muscles look sexy this morning considering that I haven’t been feeling on point as of late. I was grateful for the compliment.

I took a week off and just did cardio last week b/c I haven’t been losing. It did make a slight difference–I lost 2 lbs. last week and I’ve upped the cardio from 30 min. 4 days weekly to two hours, three days per week, one hour, two days per week. I also changed my training routine: Quads/hamstrings/calves; chest/back; bi/triceps; and shoulders. Supersetting with each routine.

I’m in too deep to quit so it’s crunch time….

A friend shared some contemporary soul/house music with me. It’s refreshing and the perfect tempo for the cardio burn. I’ve been out of town for two weeks, my diet has been compromised, I still feel a little bloated from restaurant food, but I have new found hope–the music inspires me and I work harder. It will probably take a week to detox from being out of my element, rest broken, and taking in a few toxins (e.g. tequila shot, bbq chicken, 1 T mac & cheese, 1 T potato salad). I was talking to my former trainer yesterday saying, I’m not sure if I’ll lose the pounds necessary to compete. I’ve lost inches, but my weight keeps fluxuating–need to cut more calories, but I’m sooooooooo hungry. Anyhow, still training like champ (LOL).

The suit has been ordered so I really need to get back on track and drop 8 more lbs., and 1/2" off the hips, 1/2" off the thighs, and 1" off the waist. There’s still hope:), but I’ve got so much work to do………
