Goals for the Spring Comp Season...

So I think my goals would be:

Short term

-Stick to my meal plan and WOs
-Lose 3 lbs/ week
-At the next team meeting: weight @ 158 lbs

Long term:
-Top 5 in a Fall Figure show

Train True?

Honestly, the past couple weeks, I have NOT trained true.  I have not given my all and then gave more.  Why?  I guess I just wasn't ready to start back again.  But I think there is more than that.  I think on some level I had to re-access my goals and see if I still wanted this.  

In some ways this life style makes you an social outcast.  And the dating prospects diminish quickly.  But when I looked in the mirror on Christmas, I hated what I saw.  My hard earned muscles are covered with a layer of fluff.  Pants are snug and after I gorge on sugary goodies I'm tired and cranky.  And I feel bad about my decisions.  

So why am I eating this?  Because everyone else is?  Thats stupid!!!!

I'm SOOO over it!  I want my body back!  And I want control back!  

And most of all I need to have faith in myself!  I CAN do this!!!  

Seasonal Blues...

Tis this season to gorge on sugary goodness.  And I'm struggling!  I do this every year around this time.  

Is like the cold and darkness from outside makes me wanna curl up on the couch and not move!  I would be feel better if it snowed!  At least then the sun reflects off of the snow and makes it super bright out.

And my diet is tuff!  No excuses for cheating.  I've done tuff before.  My goal is to get christmas behind me with minimal damage and get back to my goals.  

Speaking of goals, I need some.  Maybe thats why I'm lost????????

Game on Peeps!

I have a new WO plan and an cool new diet.  And its so different than anything I've done before!  Its just what I needed to get excited about my goals again!

And the "300" WO is back!  I kinda missed it in a weird way.  While I hate plyometrics, there is something kick a$$ about the "300".  Maybe its because I get this mental picture every time I think of this WO?!?!?   

MEOW!!!!

 

Fire?

Where is my fire? 

 Its kinda more like a sparkler right now.  I'm 13 weeks out as of Sat.  and the holidays and weather are just not conducive to 100% clean eating.  

By Monday I have to be at 100%.  I need to lean out some before my stats are done on Sat.  Which is our first team meeting of the Spring competitive season.

FU: The behind the scenes story!

Okay, my little rant was focused more on the guys I have dated recently.  Apparently lifting can be a major turn off for men?!?!

1st guy... I told him straight up about doing Figure.  He thought it was cool for awhile.  He wasn't a gym rat so I can understand how he wouldn't understand are little "obsession".  

2nd guy... actually works out at my gym, but we met somewhere else.  He got pretty flirty at the gym and I dished it right back.  Apparently some of the gym guys "told him to stay away from me" and then he laughs.  Okay, what's that supposed to mean?  WTF???  Most of the regulars are very nice and respectful.  And others I'm sure where surprised to see me talk.  lol!  I'm very down to business when I'm there, and not there to chit-chat or pick guys up.  Keep my eyes downward and get the job done.  Dunno what happened...

Listen up boys..........

I'm so very sick and tired of men acting like little biatches!  There I said it!!!  Chicks can lift and still look sexy and girly!  There is no need to make us feel bad for the sport we do.  If you can't hang with us, then maybe its YOUR problem!

Don't put you hate on me!  

Peace out!

Chicken & Bacon Pizza on Oatmeal Crust

I make a pizza crust by popping oats and italian seasoning into the magic bullet and zipping it. Then stir in 3 eggs white, water, & baking powder (it should sorta be the thickness of pancake batter).  I then cook it on a skillet on medium on one side, then bake it a couple minutes in the oven on my pampered chef stone on 400. Then top and bake for 10 min, still at 400 degrees. 

My current favorite topping is chicken & bacon (pre-cooked crumples in the salad section) w/ ff cheese.  I found a sauce at Krogers (their brand) that is lower in carbs & sugar.  And just use 2 tbsp.

Bye, Bye Off Season!

My dear friend Off Season,

I feel like we barely meet, and here we are already parting ways!  But is truly for the best.  Your just not good for me.  You lead me down the path to chocolate and pizza.  And while it was a yummy relationship for a while, its better this way.  

I'm sure we'll see each other again.  Maybe in the late Spring or early Summer.  Just bring Reese's Peanut Butter Cups my dear friend!  

Holding your memory close,

Figure Chick in the Making
