Aug 23, 2012

Today is the LAST day of my overall workout before heading to Jersey tomorrow for OCB BATTLE OF THE BELT....  I can't wait!!!  I'm excited, nervous, but ready to get this thing done.  I worked very hard and no matter how I come out..  I already know I'VE WON!!! 

I feel amazing with plenty of energy today.  Cardio should be a breeze....  I will do some isolated exercises this afternoon, eat and definitely try to hit the sack early to be well rested in the a.m.

I'm  145 pounds, 27 inch waistline and 36 inch hips.  I'm still drinking plenty of water and eating all my meals as instructed.  This was really an eye opener in so many ways.  I need to stay close to gaining no more than 15 pounds during off season.  Then next year it won't be an uphill battle to get stage ready....

Much luv, Joe.

Up early 100 abs...  Today I get 130 protein but 170 carbs (wooo hooo) 35 fat.  This will be a beautiful EATING day if nothing else.. LOL  I see nuts and more than a sprinkle of rice in meals to come.

Did BACK and BICEPS yesterday.  All water, cardio and meals accordingly.  I was having some dizzy spells which after eating a little more carbs did the trick.  Low carbs is no joke especially when the workday consist of various projects which require you to be on your feet. 

Today I will get my LAST full body workout with trainer.  Will lower my training days to 4-6 times a month for off season.  Yes, there's a life peeking filled with dinner, dancing and movie dates :-)  At least until later this year for I would like to compete early next Spring.

Overall energy level is decent this morning.  No headaches, hunger pains, dizziness, etc.  I feel more normal and I'm sure its because I'm pump'n up the carbs!  After just my 1st meal I felt bigger and fuller...  lol  Funny I was craving nuts as if I was part squirrel.  Ate a few after arriving to work and they just didn't do it.  I need dark chocolate :-)

Competition days are winding down now..  The 25th marks the last show for me this year.  It was an AMAZING journey that I surely will never forget.  Sort of a bitter sweet ending for I'm tired but not ready to sit down just yet.  Joe, I can't begin to thank you enough for such a HARD but proven effective method to prepare me for each show.  Next year I plan to come back tighter/leaner and hopefully that much better to compete in early Spring shows.  Then I'll see about the Summer afterwards.  I will be contacting you for an offseason plan and see about checking in with you like once a month or every 3 months.  So in other words THIS IS NOT THE END :-)

1.5 DAYS BEFORE JERSEY BOUND!!!!

Blogging for sanity at this point... 

Up and hit 100 abs...  Can't move without potty runs constantly being made.  I had some close calls in my commute home from work and vice versa..  Not nice :-(

Banged out LEGS last night.  Was pretty good even though I'm weak made it through.  Felt average after finishing and hit cardio arc trainer for an additional 20 minutes that I didn't belt out earlier in the day. 

Body looks hard and flat as predicted.  I actually see more separation now then during last showtime.  Will this be me come Saturday possibly hard look'n but full?

Either way this is it and I hope I do ya proud but I know my legs aren't hard enough and that's where my work will be placed on off season mostly.

2.5 days to go before Jersey Bound!

5 days out!!!

No abs this morning...  Rolled out of bed with a blank stare on my face.  Its not vacation time yet :-(

High cardio both days Sat/Sunday and now back to weights & cardio today.  Help ...

I just need to be sitting somewhere with a bag of nuts in my lap and a drink with an umbrella in the other :-)

Body looks very hard now.  It actually looks harder than the 1st show around this time. I keep starring at my abs in mirror.

Energy level is just okay today.

Just ate at 11 o'clock and its just noon and I'm freak'n geekn for anything to chew on...  Gum, mint and baby's cracker even will do...

Are We There Yet?

Up and did my abs.

Scale actually lighten up a pound or so.  Getting water down, exercising and doing my cardio as instructed.

7 days out and I'm struggling...  I just need to stay focused and try to make it til next Friday.  Another Hoaggie with the works have me smile'n hard inside.

Body looks different and bloated to me.  Can't really explain but don't look as full.  I guess I'm suppose to look flat again huh? 

Did Biceps/Chest and then cardio with Vee, last night.  Good workout but feeling jive weak now.  Just put a slice of banana nut bread in my pie hole already!  Ok, ok, then some nuts..  "ONE" nut...  sigh

I guess this is the leanest I'll be for the 25th.  It is what it is at this point.

 8 days til OCB Battle of the Belts in Jersey

Ok, up this morning and only belted out 100 abs.  Body is nice and tired now.  Last night's workout was Legs but he touched my back and delts too.  Feeling fatigued and achy at this point.  I pushed through the exercises which he made some lighter just higher reps.  All of it hurts now.  I so need to get to next Saturday hopefully a little leaner and be done for the year.. 

Appetite is huge as always but food starting to make me feel ill after consumed.  Must be my body aboput to reject until it get that "sugar" fix.  At this point it could be a few extra nuts.. Just anything without weighing or counting :-(  Water intake is about to float me away.....

Overall my strength is weakening somewhat and its due to the low carbs I'm sure. 

My weight apparently is going UP UP UP from the water intake.  Can't be much of anything else even though I did down a few pickles and my mustard yesteday.  I'm like 6 pounds heavier. 

Well, I certainly hope I'm not the FAT GURL on stage this time.  Doing weights, cardio sessions and posing practice.  Trying to look leaner in the ab area since the legs aren't deeply in yet.

I dunno at this point :-(
