Ever had one of the best weeks…. Ever????  Well I did!  I have been busting my tail off the last several weeks and it is TOTALLY PAYING OFF!!!  I broke my plateau last week, dropping 2 pounds.  Continued with my enthusiasm and this week dropped 3 pounds.  WOW!!!! Incredible progress! My training has been phenomenal this week.  I have been completely focused, training intensely and have met goals!!!  And NOTHING has stood in my way! 

In the last two weeks I have on an average of 4 days a week, done a second session of cardio (usually running for 30-40 minutes) and have COMPLETELY eaten clean.  Heck, I was eating every 2-3 hours and at the end of those hours I was HUNGRY!!  I thought something crazy was up…. but speaking to the competition trainer of a friend of mine, he said that means I am leaning out.  I told him "GET OUT!!"  lol.  He asked what my diet was… I told him.  He said it was right on.   Then I showed him my bodyspace pics on my phone.  He looked at them and said "oh shit".  ha ha.  Then he said "let me see ‘em" which he was talking about me lifting my shirt and showing him my abs.   I showed him and yes, it was enough to shut him up

So… as I told my girlfriends, I am surprised I have limbs left, because as much as I have been eating, I have been hungry in between meals enough that I would have eaten my arms off!! lol.. 

I have 2 weeks till June arrives… I have a birthday coming up June 5th and will be on a sandy beach enjoying it in my tiny new green bikini I just bought.  I will be frolicking in the waves in a freshly, tight body.  Damn!  lol!!!

I will continue my strict clean eating (only because it feels sooooo good and well, because its what I’m used to).  Anything else would feel icky.  The cool thing about it is that clean eating doesn’t feel restrictive to me.  Probably does to most.  It is solid, nutritional eating that benefits my body.  I do LOVE my cheat meals (had one tonite!)  Most people who are not fit or do not watch their diet will think it is a fanatic thing.  "Ooooh you eat what??"  they may say.  Ok, whatever.  Go ahead and eat your pizza and pasta and have those Dr. Peppers with your meal.  Yes, enjoy the spinach artichoke dip swimming in mayonnaise or have that cheesey dip with your chips.  It’s all a choice.  Wanna eat that stuff and look like you do??? Or do you want to eat healthier, cleaner and be fit and tight???  It’s all a choice.  You have to decide.

Despite pitfalls in training that may come from week to week, you have to overcome them and focus.  Can’t get to a certain mileage mark in your running?  Don’t let it keep you from trying harder.  Want to run faster?  Longer?  Keep it in your mind that you CAN do it.   Do you want a six-pack?  Yes… it can be done.  But you have to WANT IT.  YOU HAVE TO WANT IT SO BAD YOU CAN TASTE IT.  That is what I can’t understand.  People that want to be fit but yet continue to eat garbage EVERY DAY.  They whine about not being able to lose it, but won’t make the changes to do it.

 Hit the pavement, get to running, lifting weights and get moving!!! LOL!!!  Maybe most don’t have the exhuberance or enthusiasm as I do.  ha ha.  I have friends that gawk at the fact that I get up at 4:45 am to go workout.  Well… it’s my choice and it works for me.  If you want to make a total change in your diet, body and workout routine, you have to make up your mind and dedicate yourself to it.  No wishy-washiness.  You say you’re gonna do it??? THEN DO IT.  No ifs, ands or buts allowed.  People show a weakness when they can’t follow thru when they say they’re going to do something.  That’s my theory, anyway….

Continue in your quest!  If you don’t start now, it will only prolong the time to get to your goal and what better time is better than now??? LOL!!!

Keep training hard and keep it fun!!!
