PEE PEE HEAD!!!

WOW, i forgot how much water i had to drink and how many dang potty breaks i had to take! GEEZ!!! People better watch out when i really gotta go bad cause i will be like one of the Wayman brothers in the white chicks movie…hehehe!! You know almost knocking folks out da way and stuff! Drinking only a gallon a day right now and that will be upped closer to my show date though. Here we go!

OK, food is right on and i have been 100% with everything (I miss those Dove dark chocolate covered almonds though), although i think i have been cheating my body out of protein. I have been staying hungry, wtf?? I mean, i weighed stuff to be sure today and i was only off like 2-3oz (could make the world of difference i guess) so now i got it all right. No more guessing stuff! My strength hasn’t been affected too bad in the gym and i feel like the creatine (CEE) before the lifts are really helping with that and with the new higher lift numbers. Ok, so i’m still looking SOOOO FORWARD to a cheat meal! It revved up my metabolism on my last comp prep and i really want some PIZZA!! Dang, i just started cutting this past Sunday…hehe…yeah go ahead and call me a WIMP! BLAH! My body NEEDS FOOD!! Carbs especially! I either lose or gain weight fast depending on my diet and carb consumption, heck my trainer had to up my carbs a bit close to my show due to this little problem. Already down 2.5 lbs so far and i just started cutting diet on Sunday. I know that the first week is probably mostly water weight or sodium stuff going on.

Training is also going really good, my upper body is still kinda sucky though. I’m really pushing it though…I REALLY HATE WORKING CHEST THOUGH!! UGH!! Is it really necessary for a woman to work the chest really heavy? I just don’t get it. I feel like a man when i do bench presses…LOL. I can handle the cable chest presses though, yeah weird. Legs always seem to progress faster than anything, i love them! My upper body doesn’t love me, oh well with time! IN DUE TIME………..HURRY UP ALREADY!!! Thanks for reading my crazy bit of ranting blog

Spent most of my day at my daughters dance recital. It was awesome and i just them! I get so teary eyed when i see my daughters up on that stage! I know how hard they worked to get there and how it takes a lot of guts to get up on that stage! Its kind of similar to doing a figure competition if you think about it. They love to perform now and its become addictive! They are probably going to take a year off though. I tried to get as many great shots of them as i could with my sucky camera. I need a new one! Mine is just no good for indoors for things like this.

This weekend has been crappy as far as eating for me. TOM has came around...UGH! I have been having the munchies for some strange reason this weekend. 1 more week and then cutting starts! Oh, i miscalculated about cutting...i thought it was going to start at 11 weeks out, but it does actually start at 12 weeks out. I was never good at Math...hehe.

Workouts and little bits...

My dad's surgery went well, although he is already trying to be active when he should be resting!! He is very stubborn...lol.

I weighed in again (scale whore lately) and weighed 131.5 lbs. I knew i had some water weight going on from the weekend. I got an email from my trainer and she is going to have me start cutting at 11 weeks out instead of 12 weeks out. Gives me an extra week to bulk. Hope it helps!

I'm feeling a lot stronger and upping the weights on pretty much everything. I stay sore!! Hope thats a good sign to see some gains. Now I'm pretty addicted on doing the jump squats (love seeing those quads pop when I'm up in the air), but wondering if doing them almost everyday is not such a good thing. I bumped up my bicep curls today as well and just LOVE working them!

Is it possible??

Training hard in the gym, eating enough to bulk up the muscles so they can grow. I want the muscles to grow BADLY, especially in my upper body. I'm already up 16 lbs since my last competiton which i hear is pretty normal. My mind is starting to play tricks on me though with this bulking. I am feeling a bit on the fat side. I don't like being in the 130s and feel at home in the 120s. I know it will be temporary though so i need to stay focused and think POSITIVELY throughout these last 2 weeks of bulking. Its not all clean, but i'm really trying. My trainer stated to go semi clean and she mentioned that on this time around she will throw in the carbs a bit earlier in the last weeks since she is getting to know my body. I'm wondering how my body will respond to the dieting this time around. I usually gain or lose pretty fast lately. Is it possible to gain a bit more muscle till my September show? I asked my trainer, she says probably not because my body is still recovering...hmmm. Thats kinda a downer! I have it in my mind that i am though. I'm lifting as heavy as i can and my upper body is really feeling it. Also a difference on this comp prep is that i will be using a local gym and not just working out at home. We will see :) Also i will have to find another one piece suit that will actually fit, the one i bought was more for someone weighing about 120-125 onstage. It was too big for me and the cut on the booty doesn't flatter me at all.
