Journal Entry
Hello again!! What a crazy week. I can’t believe that South Beach is a little over 3 weeks away. The nerves are starting! I mostly get nervous about everything getting done on time. I have so much to do: make props and practice with them, get all my costumes together, stock up on tanning supplies, workouts, routine, dieting, work, keep up with the house, and not to mention hubby!!!! Ahhh!!! It’s all fun though. I love working under pressure, makes me feel alive!
I have been feeling pretty good this past week. My body seems to be tightening up well, although I haven’t stepped on the scale lately. Also, each time I practice my routine I leave feeling that I accomplished a little bit more than the time before, so progress is being made! Positive thoughts bring positive results…this has been my motto. Everything really does start with a thought. If we focus on the positive and stay persistent we can accomplish everything we dream of.
My training and nutrition really hasn’t changed too much in the past few weeks. I am practicing my routine more at the end of my workouts. Nothing brings my heart rate up higher than going through that routine a few times. I have been trying to practice it every other day after my morning cardio when I am fully energetic and all warmed up. I am also stretching everyday so that I keep limber.
With nutrition I am just trying to listen to my body. If I have a day in which I am ravenous I eat an extra meal of veggies and protein or I throw in a sweet potato in the morning. I know that if I am not recouping from my vigorous workouts then I am just going to set myself back. I find the days that I am grumpy and overtired I need to back off on the training and eat a little more. That way I am back to normal the next day and able to go full force again.
Until next week!!
