Week 3 Day 4

Today I really pushed myself with the back workout.  I’m not too concerned with how much weight I’m lifting but really minimizing my rest time in between sets and ensuring good clean reps.  It is a balance, though, to keep pushing as much weight while keeping the quality of reps in mind.  I try not to cheat in the weight room and not only with my meals.  It all shows on stage if you cut corners.  My eating routine is still going strong.  I’ve been trying to figure out what I’m going to do while in Hawaii in March.  I’ll need to find a gym but also for my diet.  I’m not afraid of cheating on my diet because of cravings but just not being able to be prepared with my meals.  The first few days we’ll be in a hotel so I’m going to have to be really creative.   For the rest of the trip we rented a house so hopefully food is affordable enough to meet my diet needs while we’re there.  Anyways I’m really excited.  It’s given me extra incentive to train as well because I want to look good on the beach.  And if I’m vain for saying that then everyone is because I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to look good while at the beach.  Unless they’re lying… lol.
Tonight’s carb load was nice!  I take my time eating just to enjoy the sweetness of the oatmeal and sweet potato.  I also love peanut butter! Well that’s all for tonight. I’m gonna get a good nights rest and chill out with my girls and watch Kung Fu Panda.  Cant wait to have my 6 pack back!… haha I’ve had the dunlap far too long.
