Fitness & Nutrition Log

January 3, 2010 fitness January 3, 2010

Start the New Year off right with a Fitness and Nutrition Journal. Writing down what you eat increases your chances of reaching your fat loss goals. Planning your workouts ahead increases your chances of going to the gym. Writing down what you’ve done is great fun when looking back so you can see how far you’ve come…..talk about a confidence builder. I still have all of my workout journals all the way back to when I started lifting in 2005! It’s so nice to look back when I’m feeling crappy. It helps me realize that even if I feel like I haven’t made any changes in all these years, I have….both internally and externally. I am stronger. I am fitter. My body composition has changed. ...

JOURNAL: 1.24.09 – 1.30.09 Week 1 Bulking

January 31, 2009 fitness January 31, 2009

This blog post is dedicated to Sara Hurrle for being so nice about me using her pic for my blog header!!********************DECISION: PART I********************This is the just beginning of my decisions. I had a decision to make between Bikini and Figure. I was given the same advice by almost everyone, that I was too small for Figure, but that I could obviously get on stage. For me, it’s not just about getting on stage, it’s about getting on stage when I’m ready to get on stage. I want to be confident that I’m presenting a good package before I get on stage. I also don’t want to compete in Bikini, at least that’s my decision today. I might change my mind …

JOURNAL: 1.18.09 – 1.24.09 SICK GIRL!!!

January 24, 2009 fitness January 24, 2009

This was an awful week folks! I was sick, sick, sick and I’m not sure why. I’m not sure if it was the Vitamin C that I started taking, stress, or something I ate. It could have been a “bug” too. I’m just not sure. I did throw up three times though so my carb cycling was off, though I tried to eat pretty clean. I was just eating what I could to not be nauseous. No, I’m not pregnant, people!I did spend the week talking to friends and trying to get an idea of what my plan should be for the year?Options: A. Stay lean, work out, cut the fat and get on stage in Bikini this year in 15 weeks.B. Quit …
