HI GUYS! It's been a while so I'm going to track my progress these last 9 weeks before the competition. I struggled after the Oxygen shoot with mental & emotional exhaustion (dieting since Jan. takes its toll) and after a month of indecision, recommitted to training & my contest prep nutrition. Thank you so much to the competitors who gave me such incredible advice during that struggle- Becky Patterson, Holly Schrader, Cara Cornacchia, J.C. Christian, and Tabitha Leandri-Klausen: you mean the world to me! I've been carb-cycling all fish since 11 weeks out and have begun to lean, daily I notice little changes- it blows my mind how my diet kicks in! I'm also training on average 3 hours/day: 1 hour cardio before breakfast, 1 hour weight training/plyo & a 2nd hour of cardio after work. The 1st week adjusting to the new schedule kicked.my.ass but I discovered a little ally in St. John's Wort that balances my mood so I don't run around judo chopping strangers :o) I'm thrilled to be training hard again, I feel like I slack if I haven't sweat completely through a shirt. Thank you so much for following, stay tuned for progress pictures every Friday!
