Journey to the Stage
Today I feel:
Hopeful! The scale is moving (down 4lbs). I am doing a liver cleanse followed by a colon cleanse. My mind, body, and spirit is disconnected and not in harmony. I can feel the weight of a cyst on my thyroid and it seems like it get's inflamed whenever I stress. It's definitely tied to some emotional pattern that I need to address. So today I feel like I am on the road to recovery. I still plan to move forward with my show but in a way that I respect my body and the show prep process.
Family Thoughts:
Family matters. I love coming home to my family.
Workout:
I'm taking a break from the gym just to alleviate stress and give my body a break.
Food:
I increased my carbs and calories and my body is responding well. I still need to make sure I get all my water in for the day.
Misc:
As an athlete, you feel betrayed when your body let's you down but I am starting to realize that I let my body down; I wasn't listening. I speak of the body as if it is a whole other person but my body is a part of me. It has its' role and I have to respect it and hold it in high regard as I do the other aspects of me. After all, through the body, the greatest spiritual lessons are learned. God is good. Thank you for this body, flaws, fat and all! Thank you.

Journey to the Stage
Today I feel:
I'm in a good place. My trainer tweaked the diet plan. I stopped being hard-headed and listen to her workout adjustments, stress management, and incorporated Yoga into my regimen and my body is responding.
Family Thoughts:
Me and the kids went for a run around the block. I a, trying to incorporate them into my journey just to show them how you go about accomplishing a goal. I didn't make them a part of the 1st experience but looking back, I wish I had. We sat down at the table and they helped me write my goals down and we made a family goal to drink more water; everybody has to finish their water bottle at the end of the day.
Workout:
After I ran with the kids, it was my turn! I ran for 30min around the pond at a decent pace. It felt so good. There's something about running outside that I love. It makes you feel like a champion!
Food:
The cravings kick in when I have no carbs but I found my comfort food- Egg whites with pico de gallo and Jennie-O lean turkey bacon with coffee. When I crave sweets I drink my lemon ice flavor fat burner or my watermelon pre-workout or my orange flavor L-arginine powder. Hey, it's better than candy! If I give into the craving and cheat it would be a disaster so I don't even go there.
Misc:
Motivation has it's place but it requires so much. At some point you have to replace it with Commitment; take the emotion out of it. Commitment takes less energy. You set your goals and then you just hit the "auto pilot" button and go! Motivation will come along for the ride and sometimes it opts not to but commitment is my co-pilot. Let's go!

Journey to the Stage
Today I feel:
I feel like I am learning a lot about my body and metabolic adaptations on the effect of weight loss. Invaluable education. One of the reasons why I wanted to go through this process is to learn MY BODY. I am getting a good education on my body. It's all about trusting my intuition and learning my body's communication.
Family Thoughts:
All is well on the home front.
Workout:
Just doing my thing. I am reducing my workout because my diet has very little carbs and I don't want to stress my body. It's all so scary. If I am not losing weight on such low calories and working out twice a day, where do I go from there? I need to get blood work done.
Food:
I have no carbs for the next couple of days. I think I better start eating more variety of veggies. I've been lazy. It's just that kale fills me up, taste good, and it's easy to prepare.
Misc:
The importance of reverse dieting after a show is critical and should be a part of your journey until your body can handle more carbs and more caloric intake. I am going to spend more time increasing my caloric capacity when the show is over. I am setting myself up to be overweight.

Journey to the Stage
Today I feel:
Why am I watching Top Chef right now!? URGH! I am feeling slightly defeated right now. The only reason why I continue on is sheer commitment; it has nothing to do with motivation because I have NONE. There's no motivation when the scale doesn't move.
Family Thoughts:
My husband is on a business trip but I am handling the week pretty well. I cut my time in the gym and I gave my kids all my energy. The kids workout is definitely more tiring than a leg day. My voice was even horse from playing with them, teaching, and talking to them all day.
Workout:
I'm taking It easy. I ran some sprints today. My new thing (and I always have a "new thing") is listening to E.T. The Hip Hop Preacher on youtube while I workout. He makes the time go by and he keeps me focused.
Food:
All good. I almost cry when I eat my last meal. During the off season I am going to try to increase my caloric intake and determine my true maintenance calories. I feel like I should be able to tolerate more calories without gaining weight.
Misc:
The curse of a sophomore season: You know that you can make it to the stage so in the words of E.T.the hiphoppreacher, "you got to stay hunger". People that make it to Greatness, stay hunger. I'm hunger alright. I'm just hungry for Fireside pies Pizza! Yum! Now that's hungry!

Journey to the Stage
Today I feel:
Like I'm back in the game (mentally). I see a little progress. I am scared to get on the scale Sunday because I don't feel like going through the emotions of it all.
Family Thoughts:
My husband is leaving again soon and I am trying not to have anxiety about it. My Trainer put everything back into perspective for me.
Workout:
My leg workout kicked BUTT! I worked them twice in one day. I'm actually sore. All I kept thinking about is Jose Raymond (pre-exhaust on the leg extension). I'm increasing my MSM and Glucosamine to protect my joints.
Food:
Not bad, not bad. I made salad dressing using MCT oil, vinegar, garlic, lemon, and oregano. So good! I can eat Kale and chicken salad all day.
Misc:
There's this whole "Carb is a Carb" philosophy on youtube. Not feeling it! I actually think it's very dangerous because people are going to start eating crap. Don't forget common sense, a vegetable is different than a bagel and always will be. Stop the nonsense!
