I'm struggling today because Im still not eating enough. I want those carbs... my body is craving them. I won't give in though.I have to keep my eyes on the prize, after my 10th night I will be able to have a carb night every 5th night. I only have 6 more days to go till my 10th day. On my 10th night I will get to enjoy carbs starting at 4pm; that's next Wednesday the 18th. The husband and I plan to go to Bone Fish Grill and then eat some homemade ice cream.
For those of you who know me, I truly enjoy a couple glasses of wine. Unfortunately, I will only be allowed to have two glasses of wine each carb night. This is where things become difficult. The friends want to drink, eat out, and what not. I can't do those things, I want this too badly.
I guess if it was easy, everyone would do it. But this causes mixed messages for my friends "yes I do want to hang out with you but I don't (because you want to do things that will ruin my dream)".
Well enough of my ramblings. Below you will find tonight's workout, today's diet, and an inspirational video. I'm still waiting to post my "before" picture but I have to do it soon because things should be changing by my 10th night.
Exercise: none ( I was supposed to do abs and sprints. Due to the weather, I will replace the sprints with the tabata method) Any cardio must be completed, I think it's, two hours from weight lifting. This means I will have to do abs Thursday in addition to my usual Thursday workout, and tabata on Saturday.
Diet:
breakfast- 2 tbsp peanut butter on one celery (5 carbs)
snack- 2 tbsp. butter on celery (5 carbs)
lunch- 8 turkey pepperonis and 1/4 cup almonds (3 carbs)
snack Cheddar cheese
dinner- 2 eggs, 3 strips thin bacon
snack- pickle (1 carb)

The Beginning
I've been doing this for awhile; the whole workout and eating healthy thing. I need a goal, something to aim for, to keep me on the right track. I am convinced that having a goal will keep me motivated to reach the desired physique, and take me to the peak of fitness that I've dreamed about. This is NOT a narcissistic desire, or an eating disorder, or an impaired image dysfunction. I want to accomplish something, and I want to push my body to a place that only the very few ever go. It's more about the determination, self will, and work ethic... the body will just end up being a means to showcase those characteristics to the public; letting my body be my resume... it is the first thing people see.
So what is October's hope? ...... To place in a fitness competition during the month of October. There are a couple different kinds, but no worries, I have no desire to do body building, so chill out. The categories include Bodybuilding (not for me), fitness (this is where they look like bodybuilders but do tricks... um, no thank you), physique( get super lean and may terrify the kids), figure ( I don't know..), and the category I'll be competing in, Bikini.
NO, this is not a South Padre bikini contest followed by a wet T-Shirt contest; sorry to let you down, boys. This is professional fitness with goals and rules, and what have you. Ingrid, here on the right, is an example of where I want to be, hopefully by October (except minus the boobs, because we all know hers are purchased and where would I get the money for that? You feel me?).
In order to reach these goals I will hold myself publicly accountable through this blog by posting day by day my weight, inches, diet, workout regimen, and occasional pictures of myself. This last item here will be particularly hardest about the accountability part, because it will either prove or disprove my commitment.... the camera does not lie.
I will be following a diet and workout laid out by my power lifting husband, acting as my trainer, whom has done extensive research in these areas of exercise and fitness. He will have me following a diet called Carb Nite by a physicist named John Kiefer, and will provide me with a mixture of workouts from Kiefer, and some workouts the husband may create or altar.
And so it begins, on this day.....
