Week 1 Day 1

Today was day one. No carbs and I feel ok. Sundays are kinda hard to stay right on schedule for me so I didn’t get all 7 meals in. I’m ready to get to the gym tomorrow morning and get things started. I compete as a hobby but I still plan to do the best I can come showtime. If you’re not in it to win it get out the game, right? Hard work pays off, that’s what I have to keep telling myself anyways. Not to be mistaken by what I eat daily, I hate broccoli but it’s the only green vegetable that I can tolerate eating this much. That and spinach I guess. I like my veggies fresh though I can’t stand frozen. I like it a little crunchy never soggy. My first carb load will be tuesday night meal 7. I load with a lot of food so it takes me a few times to get used to it every time I train but I get over it. For those who want to follow I’ll include my next day workouts at the bottom of every blog, below my meals. Training and dieting, your mind will play a lot of games and thats when I have to really stay focussed. Some days or even weeks get really tough but the payoff makes it worth it. In the past I’ve competed in the fall but I planned for the spring this time around, 1 to enjoy the hollidays and 2 to be ready and fit for the summer. I don’t care what people say I like to look good at the pool when I take my kids… haha anyways, You don’t need to compete to follow along, you can just get ready for the summer time. Track your progress and commit yourself and I promise you’ll get the results you’re looking for.

Hard work, accountability, and persistence. Be patient and it’ll happen.
