Week 6 comes to end and still no posing suit........it arrived, however, bottoms still incorrect and leaves me with several descriptive adjectives I would rather not share, let's just say I'm frustrated. Nightly posing began......and the introduction to the stomach vacuum, which 20 years ago didn't seem like such an issue, but after having children I find that I am not totally in control of my lower abs. Sparing you the details of awkward and slightly embarrassing body positions, I think I'm getting it!
Training has started to become increasingly difficult, bench press is down to 135 for 5-7 reps, as a competitive power lifter it sure does mess with my mind. I've often thought about entering an event, at a lighter weight class, just to see if I could get close to the state record.......one thing at a time!
The dreaded "F" word.......food. My calories will more than likely remain below the 1000 per day for the remaining 5 weeks, the upside cardio may drop off significantly. Grocery shopping, as you all can imagine, has many challenges even when your not dieting let alone being on such a strict one. One of my tricks is to go stand in the cheese department (I think I'm going to gag just talking about it) so I will lose my appetite then continue shopping! My family will tell you that I buy all of the yummy looking treats and make them eat it.....of course I need the details of just how wonderful it is!! I think their fudging the truth by telling me "it's not that great", perhaps it's just cuz I'm being deprived and everything looks over the top, but deep down I know it's because they don't want me to feel bad..... On the upside, greatest find this week was dill pickles, which are on the approved list, I know your jealous, however, just one carb per baby dill----it's a miracle. Rice wine vinegar and fat-free roasted red pepper dressing have become my new fav condiments, also low in carbs and zero fat, there really is a god. Thanks again for all your supportive comments and positive energy!
peace and one love
