Sorry I haven’t been around in a while. I have been extremely busy. I took time off from the gym for a week to get my mind straight and it ended up being a month! I was very busy doing a 3 week opera program and recently had a death in the family, which took a toll on me too. My diet has been horrible. Because of my ****ty diet( eating too little and over eating) my metabolism has slowed down and I have gained some weight. I am not fat, but I am not where I would like to be. My husband not complaining he likes the extra cushion, but not me!

As for competing it’s going to be on hold. I have other priorities that I have to deal with now. I really want to focus on my singing career and the shows that I had lined up conflict an opera program that I am interested in doing next year. After the opera program the hubster wants to work on kids. I will be 30 next year, so it’s time to settle down. I am not saying goodbye to competing. I love it and I can’t wait to step back on stage again, just not now.

My current training program is going a fatburning not a bulking one. I am an alternating hi rep with circuit training. I need to get my weight down before I can start back on my bulking program. I am not sure what my weight is and don’t want to know. But my goal is get back into to a 2 comfortably. I am currently a 4 and I refuse to buy more clothes.

My plan of attack:

Monday: Chest/Back/Cardio
Tuesday: Shoulders/Abs/ Cardio
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: OFF
Friday : OFF
Saturday: Biceps/Triceps/Cardio
Sunday: Quads/Hams Calves/Abs Cardio

I will be alternating every 4 weeks with a circuit training workout.
