Down to the Wire

5 1/2 weeks to go...it seems like tomorrow. It also seems like there is A LOT of ground to cover in that amount of time. But these last weeks are when the magic really happens. Changes are noticeable nearly daily. I'm still concerned that I won't get as lean as I need to be to win but I'm doing everything I can to get as lean as possible. I want a trophy!

I am still sticking to the same lifting schedule-5 days a week hitting all muscles 2x's. I am now doing 5 low intensity cardio workouts for 45 minutes and 4 high intensity interval training workouts. That's 9 cardio sessions a week. I also still have my 2 yoga classes separate. I'm working out at a minimum 13 hours a week. It's a part time job! lol

I feel fantastic though. My strength and energy aren't slipping. However I think my moods are. Tim and I figured that out this weekend. I visited him in El Paso and getting my workouts in while traveling wasn't hard thanks to Tim being awesome and fit himself. He had no complaints doing my workouts with me. The eating while on a trip however, is more difficult. Tim, again, was his incredible self and bought a lot of my dieting staples. He ate healthy with me, cooked for me but when we went out of the house that's when my evil twin came out. When you go to the movies or pass restaurant after restaurant and you can't have anything those places serve but you can SMELL it...it brings out the beast! So I got a bit cranky. PMS on steroids I'd say. So a big high five to him for dealing with Sally, my evil twin.

I have a pretty booked August but I'm keeping it as low key as possible so that I can stay focused. As always, the key is being prepared and planning ahead. I need someone to do posing practice with me. I can practice looking in a mirror all day long...but I need critique. Anybody?

So now it's time to put my posing suit back on. I think it needs to be BeDazzled! this time :) Anybody know a good BeDazzler?
