Some updates first... I ate really super-clean all week and weekend, until Sunday when I decided to have a cheat meal. I wasn't too bad having multigrain nachos with guacamole and salsa, but then I returned to old habits and felt I needed sweets! I had some cake, but that didn't seem to do do it for me, so I had some fudge, that wasn't hitting the spot either, I had a cookie - nope, and I think after all this bad sweet stuff I see I'm not so crazy about sweets anymore (which is crazy if you know me!) My tummy felt sick the rest of the night and all of Monday after eating so badly, but it was worth it because I learned something valuable about myself and I can stop dreaming about sweets as they aren't so good once I allow myself to have them!
Yesterday I finally implemented my early-morning run strategy to get more cardio in. Got up at 4:30am (before my baby) and ran for 45 minutes. It was so easy without pushing the jog stroller, it felt like flying! Then I did my second workout of 30 more minutes of cardio and shoulders with cardio spurts between sets instead of rests. Me and my girls who are doing the competition with me got together at the studio and worked on our quarter turns and posing. We videotaped it to check out what we had to work on. My main problems are my shoulder inbalance and my whole lower body! I feel my upper body is looking muscular and starting to lean out, but everything from the bellybutton down is being really stubborn! Hopefully my special butt and ab blasting weight workouts and my extra cardio will help out with this! I can't believe I only have 2 months until my first competition and I'm this far from my goal! I'm also getting a little concerned about my fitness routine... I haven't worked on it for a while and last night I went over it a bit and I can't do any of the hard moves in it yet - must commit to working a little bit on it every day from now on!
