The Kitty Gato’s BodyBlog

yeah…NOT an easy task. I am leaving for Vegas early Saturday morning and come home Tuesday night…talk about planning and preparing. Now…this is not the usual vegas trip for me (you know the partying, the gambling, the not knowing what happened the night before lol) this is a business trip and I will be working the whole time.

Soooo since I am preparing for my upcoming competition..I HAVE to be serious! I am cooking up all my food and taking it in a cooler with me..I know sounds crazy..but hello there is not way around it..I WILL not eat anything that is not allowed from Jason. Sure..you can eat "somewhat" healthy when you go out of town…but I want to be as lean as I can for the competition and I DO NOT want to fall of the wagon in anyway with my diet. I have been 100% clean and i will not mess this up now. Yes it will be a pain in the butt to haul my small cooler with dry ice and my food around but it is the only way.

Now as far as my workouts, ohhh yes I have this system down as well. My plane leaves at 9am Saturday morning. I am getting up at 4am hitting up the gym before I go to the airport to make sure I get a good session in before I have to be working in Vegas. I will arrive in Vegas..work till about 9 and then do a cardio session that night at the Bellagio hotel. Now is the tough part..from here on out I have to be at this investor conference at 6:30am-9:00pm (rough I know) everyday I am in Vegas…soooo my butt will be getting out of bed around 4ish to get my morning cardio in, the after the conference is over..time for my pm lifting and cardio…no play time for the Gato. But that is perfectly ok with me..I am on a mission and have a goal to be the best I can be for this competition….and that means giving up alot of play time.

Wish me luck..I tell you I cannot wait to be home. I will get some pool/sun time while I am there for a little bit..that’s the only exciting part.

Ok..I am about 11 weeks out and feeling good. I ordered my heels and they should be here next week. I am looking and getting quotes on a few different suits. I think I decided I want my two piece to be turquoise..since it is my favorite color and looks good with my skin tone. As far as my one piece..well can I just tell you I hate the one pieces..I think they are so damn ugly..but whatya do right??? I am having a tough time finding one I like..but as far as color I am thinking a really deep bright purple or black…wish me luck on those. Soooo when I get my shoes I will schedule my posing classes..because trust me..I WILL need them!!!

My diet and training is going really well! Jason Phillips really knows his sh*t and is whipping my ass in shape and helping me shred this bodyfat. I thought for sure the diet would be the hardest part..nope..it is actually pretty easy (so far) but I will tell you the preperation for my meals..is not fun..and very time consuming (but definately worth it). So the hard part…well since I work two jobs..and barely have anytime for anything..I find that when I am not working I am training. I start my full time job at 6am..and right now I am waking up and doing cardio..wow it is hard to get up around 4:15am to get the cardio done..but when I am done..I feel so energetic and so GOOD! Then after work I hurry and go home, change, eat, get the rest of my meals packed and off to my secod job. LUCKILY I work at a gym….come 9pm I finally get to do what I love..TRAIN. I typically lift for an hour and then do 35-45 mins cardio…then back home and I finally get to get to bed..for a few hours….it’s a vicious cycle and definately not easy…but this is what I do and this is what I love…so in my eyes it is worth all the long hard hours!
