Puffy....

Seriously... don't know how you working mom's do it all.  I just can't seem to find time to keep up with everything and I only work part time.  I am sure I will get myself on a good routine but as it is now the only time I have time to blog is when my kids are in bed... and by then... I am in bed... or passed out on the couch!!!!!  It has become hard for me to stay up past 9 lately.

Today it is Saturday and although I have had a busy day it has been great and I found myself with a little extra time to blog so here goes.  Today I met up with a few of my friends that I met competing for lunch.  We went for sushi.  It was great.  I haven't had sushi in so long and was really craving it and the company... well it was amazing.  It is just so nice and refreshing to sit down for a meal with people who really get you.  People who live the same way you do, (eat, train, sleep, and start over) and who have the same struggles, the same goals, the same passions and the same desire to shove their face full of peanut butter and chocolate :)  I am so grateful to have met them and love seeing them.

So this last week has been pretty rough.  I have found that eating has been a little more difficult.  I was craving naughty things.  Big time.  I was bloated to the point of discomfort every single day, and just feeling really "off".  WELL... today my lovely Aunt Flo paid me a visit A WEEK AND A HALF EARLY.  What the heck?  That explains the uncontrollable desire to live off this all week....

Reeses Puffs = PUFFY... GET IT TOGETHER Kerryne!

I am starting my last week of phase 2 in Jamie Eason's livefit trainer on Monday.  When I finish up with this phase I will be exactly 8 weeks out from my show.  I think what I will do is do phase 3 twice.  That will bring me to show day and hopefully a leaner, meaner package to present on stage.  I have already noticed just in this 4 weeks some muscle gains.  My upper body is sculpting pretty nicely.  My legs (though not lean enough) have more muscle definition in them.  I can see the slight cuts coming through.  I am hoping that as I lean down the muscle will really pop!  My abs look fantastic first thing in the morning, but as I eat and drink they don't look quite as cut throughout the day.  All in all, I feel like I am ahead of where I was last show prep at this stage and really hope to dial it all in over the next NINE weeks.  EEEKS!  I am starting to get excited!!!
