A CHANGE OF HEART

Well, the beach was lovely except for the chill in the air and the bulky sweater that hid my bikini for the day. Still, can't complain. I'm in California! Well, I'm doing the show in June!! Yippers!!! So excited and scared at the same time. It's all good. I am in the throes of mapping out my 8 week journey. Yeah, it's usually 12 but I know that I can do it in 8. I am all ready pretty lean but am still making some small gains in size :-) May 6th, is day one of Lean Out. Which means that Cardio will have to become my new best friend to help me shuttle around some extra fat that is still hanging onto my hips! I'm not gonna be a hamster on a wheel, though. 30 minutes in the morning, every other day for the first week and access my body after that. As I get closer to showtime, the cardio will increase but I want to make sure I'm not losing too much size too early. Am also doing a modified carb cycle diet, as we speak, and THAT seems to be working out for me. I will explain carb cycling a little later as well as other things I have learned along the way. Who knows, they might be useful to someone! I am enjoying the learning process so far. I get frustrated sometimes because I have read SO MUCH INFORMATION!!! My brain starts to shutdown and won't let anything else in! Then, I will look at the clock and it's 11 pm and I'm falling asleep! It's no wonder!! Can't wait to "study" some more tomorrow! I'm doing this all on my own and am elated and petrified. The main thing I am finding is the science behind a Figure Competition. Well, I think there's a science to it. Have I peaked your interest?? Can't wait to write all about it on this blog o' mine! Well, it's 11:30 and I'm sleepy!! Out :-)
