lol, I have to check with my trainer regarding the semi sweet chocolate chips, but I only have 12 weeks left, that's 12 more workout per muscle... it's really not that long.. I can deal with it..

Just got to keep my mind focused. Now that I'm moved in there is no more stress!!!

Keep up the good work!

Something that struck me was regarding the binging. If that is or has been an issue for you, it's always a good idea to have a post competition plan for your diet. It is really easy to completely lose control once your show is done and undo all the progress you've made in a very short period of time...like 10+ lbs in a few days type of thing. It can be hard to get your brain to shut off that you aren't hungry anymore and binging is very very tempting and difficult to stop. If you have a plan where you can go out after your show and eat whatever you want but then try to keep your eating controlled in a "reverse diet" type of way, it will be much easier on your body. Food for thought anyway...

LOL...ya it doesn't take long if you're not careful. It's something I had a plan for and still didn't do very well with it. 8 months later and I'm still undoing the damage I did. Never again!

Well, I can't let myself go far anyways, after the show I'm competing at in 12 weeks, I have another show that's 16 weeks away (count down from November 27th) and then if quallified there's a provincial show that's 10 weeks following the second show, and then WBFF Calgary following 5 weeks after that (my boyfriend and I are both competing at that one in Calgary so it's kind of a meaningfull show to me) But after that I'm done until 2012.

You don't take any days off until your comp?

 

[sara_xo]

plyo's to me are days off, I enjoy doing them and there just an extra form of cardio in my eyes and other than that, nope 5 days training.

Hey everyone,

Kind of need a bit of motivation to pump myself back up. Been kinda down lately. My boyfriend and I got into a HUGE fight yesterday and I just locked myself in my house and didn't move. Anyways.. I managed to get up and do my Morning cardio (considering I couldn't even get out of bed yesterday I'm impressed..)

Guess I just need a bit of a talk up sucks right now, I hate arguing especially when I'm dieting cause I tend to feel that the entire world is after me...

I don't know.. ugh..

HELP :'(
