So, my baby has had a cold for the past 3 days and it has been quite challenging to keep up with my usual workouts, as well as adding extra cardio (which was my plan for this week to kick my fat-burning up a notch!), but I think I've been doing pretty good considering the circumstances (crazy crying sad baby that doesn't want to eat or sleep much!) I've gotten about an hour of cardio total each day this week, plus intense weight workouts with cardio blasts instead of rests between sets! I've had to go down to the gym when someone else is here with the baby (usually later in the day) which is weird for me cause lately I've been used to going down with the baby and working out really early. I think I will try to get down to the gym early (4am?) before he gets up once he's through this cold (cuz he's up all night lately)to do my extra cardio. I went to an IDFA Figure workshop this past Saturday and it was really inspiration and useful (especially since I've never competed with this particular association or in the figure category yet) I learned a lot of personal tips on my posing and have been practising what I learned every day since! I've been practising my walking in heels and posing a bit over the past few months, but not enough. You think the prep for a competition is all about working out and getting your appearance ready, but posing is a whole new skill to learn! I have reached my goal for last week (160lbs) yesterday so that was good (better late then never)! I still have about 25 lbs to lose by June 26th!!! That will be hard, but I will do it!
