Week #4

I'm starting to see more progress and it's so motivating, especially in my shoulders and back. I'm down another 2 pounds and 1% body fat from 2 weeks ago.

Last week I was busy with volleyball and once again another tournament. My team is getting better every week and they beat a boys team from Austin Juniors, and as you can imagine for a group of 13 year old girls this was simply HUGE!!!! Needless to say they are a really fun group to work with!
My diet has stayed the same and I am thoroughly enjoying my weekend cheat meals including one of my favorites from Kerby Lane the great Eggs Francisco, French Toast and a nice little mimosa. Yummmmmmmmm!

This week I started lifting Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. My cardio is an easy 30 minute walk twice a week before I eat breakfast.
Monday was legs and shoulders. Shane had me do dead-lifts at 5 sets of 4 at 199lbs!!!!! Wahoo! My heaviest sets yet. That last set was tough but I got through it. Tuesday was a push pull day.
The last week and a half I've felt really good during training. My lifts are getting easier and my lifting weight is getting heavier by the week.
I hope everyone is having a great day!

Round 2

The competition bug has got me again! After making big changes in my personal life in the past 6 months, I find myself the happiest that I've ever been and in a very good place. I Recently decided it's time to make big changes to my body and once again decided to train for another show. However, this time around I will be competing in the bikini category rather than figure. The difference between figure and bikini is figure usually needs a good amount of muscle, muscle separation, and low body fat percentage. Bikini is more of an overall athletic, fit look, with higher body fat percentage. The great thing is that my diet isnt super terrible. I can still have Chipotle after I lift and a couple of cheat meals on the weekend!
So far I've been training for 3 weeks. Im currently lifting 3 times per week, and doing cardio 2-3 times a week. Next week I will start a different phase of lifting Mon Tue Thurs Fri and doing cardio 3 days a week before breakfast. This won't be too terrible because Bailey gets to get her walk on with me! (she's carrying a little Holiday weight as well)..... I weigh in on Friday and will be able to document pounds and body fat percentage lost. Ive already noticed changes is my body in my core and legs. I've taken pictures every 10 days so I can always go back and see my body changing.
