JOURNAL: Week 1 Carb Cycling – 1.4.09-1.10.09

January 10, 2009 fitness January 10, 2009

Monica Brant because I featured her workout in my blog and tried it this week.This was my first week of Carb Cycling! I definitely saw some changes in my physique using both Carb Cycling and the Hardgainer’s weightlifting principles. I noticed a HUGE difference in energy after my day off (I took two due to the dentist) in between lifting. Not sure if that was becuase of the “carb load” or the break in training…possibly both.I still have 17 weeks until the local NPC comp, so we’ll see. Every day that passes, I think I might be able to make it in time. We’ll see! I should have my first posing suit in a few weeks. It is simple …

Today was my FREE DAY!! Woohoo! I went a little more nuts than I plan to in the coming months because we went out of town for the day – three hour drive for shopping and great food. We don’t have a Chipotle where we live so we live for the day we can drive to eat Chipotle!!! I had a chicken biscuit at Chick-fil-a for breakfast on the way…MMMM. A few pieces of fudge on the way to Chipotle also.The dinner was fabulous…I had CPK, one of my very favorites!!! And, then, we walked over to SPRINKLES for desert!

JOURNAL: Thu 1.1.09 Happy New Year!

January 1, 2009 fitness January 1, 2009

It’s a brand new year and my New Year’s Resolutions began many weeks ago. I’m still on track and doing well with my new diet, workout and plan to compete this year! Skipped another workout today…let the ‘blues’ get the best of me today with my family troubles. I just felt sad today. But, nothing can be done to fix any of this, so tomorrow I’ll get up and “go to work” (my office is in my house) and get back to routine and try to get this off my mind….easier said than done.*******FOOD*******940am: 1 Nutrigrain bar, 1 EAS shake, 1 c. coffee + 1T creamer (I …
