I figured I would blog again.. I'm back in hermit training mode, EAT-TRAIN-SLEEP REPEAT.
The holidays were a blast, ending my last pre-diet day in Foxboro, then out for some vino and nachos YUMMMMY!!!
I initially planned to start the official training Jan 17, about 12 weeks out from the April show, but after gaining few extra pounds during the off season (more than I planned) I decided to give myself an extra 2 weeks. I need to be leaner this time, and to be honest I wanted to start the training, I missed it.....
Starting a new diet, I am using a nutritionist this time. Its nice to not have to worry so much about that aspect, he will work with me throughout, changing things as we get closer right up until the show. I just cook it all and eat. So again, no booze, no cheats 100% clean. For me its not hard at all, it takes dedication and will power but I'm not really tempted by anything. Not that it wouldn't be good, but it will be there when I'm done....
Goals for this show:
To be leaner
build more back/Delts/Abs
to be leaner
Pose
just a little leaner...
POSE! POSE! POSE!
My favorite part about competing is lifting, training in the gym, so the posing, walking aspect challenges me. I was more comfortable and less nervous in Oct, but my posing was weak.
Time to dust off the clear heels and practice..
