So here I am... TEN days out from my next comp. I am struggling. Not even going to try and lie. I took Sunday off to enjoy a few things that I wanted (a big fat sandwich... so good) and a couple of sweets. Then came Monday... I tried to get right back on my meal plan. Wasn't as easy as I had planned. I did however get my two cardio sessions in. Tuesday snuck right on by and although I didn't really "cheat" I wasn't really perfect either. I was only able to get in about 30 minutes of cardio plus Bodypump. UGH.
Today is Wednesday. I really only have one week of cardio's to get this body BETTER than it was last weekend. I am going to get my two cardio sessions in and I PROMISE that today I will be back on my diet. I threw away anything that may tempt me. My main focus is on cardio right now. After seeing the professional pictures (whoop) from the show this is what I realized. I was definitely the most "muscular" in my class. I worked so hard building for two years for Figure that even though my muscles are not as full as they were they are still there. My legs weren't lean enough. My upper body seemed comparable to the first and second place girls but their legs looked longer and leaner. I have muscular legs (that's the dancer in me) and no matter what I do they will continue to be muscular so I just need to focus on leaning them out. Someday I will have the legs I have always dreamed of.
So there you have it, my honest week. Ugh... time to kick this bootay! I can't wait until the professional pictures come. He took some really great backstage photo's. I am stoked about them!
you can do this lady!!!!!

Hang in there! You will rock this upcoming show. You were at Candice's bodypump class? I was doing chest at the same time yesterday!! If you ever see me make sure you run up to me like a crazy person, and I will do the same :)
ReplyDeleteYes, 10 days is not long, then you can get back to the sweet treats! Rock it girl, you GOT THIS!!!!
ReplyDelete10 days will fly by!
ReplyDeleteThe only constructive criticism I have when I saw your pics (I hope you don't mind me saying so) is that your upper body and abs look phenomenal but your legs could be a little leaner.
I'm an ex-dancer too so I know the feeling! My upper body has no fat and is hard for me to build up but my lower body has always been big!
