eat, work, tape, train, rehearse and repeat.

Wow. It's been 2 weeks since the new year. It seems the year is already going by so fast. I made it a personal goal to start training and dieting for the competition season Jan 1, and it has been a struggle. A new job, a new apartment and not a whole lot working out and dieting is happening! I'm starting to feel a little bit more focused as the apartment feels more like a home. I hate to make excuses, but as soon as my kitchen is organized, my diet will be too.

The good news is that I've reached my goal weight of 115 lbs. This is the heaviest I've ever been and I'm really excited about it LOL. Right now, I am at 17% body fat and would like to get it down to 12%... by August :) Plenty of time...

Here is a rough outline of my diet... courtesy of my body builder older brother (in-law) .. check him out www.bigsherwin.com

Diet:

Meal#1 10 eggs white 2 yolks / 1 cup oatmeal / 1 banana.

Meal#2 8 oz. chicken / 2 cups rice / 1 cup broccoli.

Meal#3 2 scoops whey protein( 50grams) / 10 oz. potato.

Meal#4 8 oz. chicken / 2 cups rice / 1 cup broccoli.

Meal#5 8 oz. Flank steak / 10 oz. potato / large salad.

Meal#6 2 scoops whey protein / half cup fat free cottage cheese / half cup oatmeal.

24 oz. water with each meal.


I have to eat a lot more than expected because of my high metabolism and what I do for a living. I do have a 9a-5p job, but it's not your typical. As a trainer in a live in fitness facility, I have the BLESSING of working out everyday. A pro and a con... My typical work day will include a 2 hour bike ride, 1.5 hour hike and 1 hour of swimming or water aerobics. Very cool... considering this is my "job". Absolutely a fitness enthusiast's ideal job. The thing is, as a fitness competitor, I burn too much, too fast. I have to make sure my eating is right on schedule and that I am eating enough. Sometimes, I'm so exhausted from my day job, it's hard to stay focused and go to the gym and lift heavy. But, everyday, I am inspired by my clients and will often think of them if I even think about slacking off. If they can do it, I can do it.

Other updates:

The next few weeks I have to be very strict on myself. I will be working with LAMUSCLE TV again as they will be documenting my journey with Kujo for my big return to the stage.... Feb. 21st... Taping is tentatively this weekend and will definitely showcase the creative process combined with the insight of our personalities. Krazy Kujo and lil miSsfit... anything is possible when you put us together...stay tuned!! There is also the Fitness Expo at the end of the month that I will be attending. Hopefully I can stay super clean on diet so i can look somewhat defined :) In Feb, I'll be shooting another segment for Jamo Nezzar with My Fit Tribe. Right now my Pre-Workout Exercises are on the homepage with Ozzie Jacobs. I'll be teaming up with Ms. Jacobs again and we will be demonstrating different ways of stretching. Lot's of good stuff happening! Check back for more updates and hopefully I can say I've stayed on track with dieting and training!!! Argg, sometimes it so hard... but if you think you can, YOU CAN AND WILL!!!

Stay focused....
