Today I am starting a rigourous diet and exercise plan for the next 9 weeks. To keep myself motivated and accountable, I will be journaling my progress. I will post every detail of my quest including pics to show progress. With summer around the corner, what better time to firm everything up and have abs to show off again! Since my BA, and not being able to work out as hard, I have put on a few pounds. Nothing really drastic, but you know how us girls can be! I have also been wanting to do another Figure competition too. So we'll see how this goes! Its alot of hard work, but it always pays off in the end.
The last time I did this, I had my girlfriend right beside me training to keep me motivated. Now that she lives 2 hours away working for a Police Dept. I will be flying solo, so to speak. Hopefully this journal will keep me committed and motivated. Knowing I need to post and report my progress to you gals should keep me on the wagon!
Every detail of my training will be posted... from pics to workouts and meals. I will even post reciepes. Anyone who wants to follow along is more than welcome. There are bound to be slip ups, and probably some "oh god, I'm too tired to move" days. So feel free to give me a push!
The Diet
Meal # 1- Oatmeal (Cream of Wheat, yougurt w/ 1/4 cup of shredded wheat or egg whites) & tea
Meal # 2-Protein shake & Pear(or apple)
Meal # 3- Chicken breast (or other meat protien) with side salad or steamed veggies
Meal # 4- Protein Shake & pear(or apple)
Meal # 5- Chicken breast (or other meat protien) with steamed veggies and side of brown rice(or salad)
Meal # 6- Protein shake & pear(or apple)
Meat protein choices
-any white fish(tilapia, perch, orange roughy, haddock)
-chicken
-turkey
-tuna(canned)
-read meat once a week(lean cuts)
-shrimp once a week
-salmon
Condiments are fine as long as they are low fat such as dressings and mayo. I cook with alot of Kraft low-fat dressings.
I will avoid “white carbs” such as potatoes, white rice, white bread…anything made with white flour. Instead opt for whole grain breads and pastas. I can have yams(on occassion) instead of potatoes.
I space meals out between 2-3 hours apart. Keep salt to a minimum; I'm trying the “No Salt” stuff. Experiment with different spices & marinades to keep things interesting. Drink LOTS of water.
To save my sanity, I am allowed two cheat meals per week. I have chosen Sunday's and Wednesdays to indulge a bit! As I progress, I will cut out one cheat meal.
Okay...lets rock! *cue music "Eye of the Tiger"*![]()
