Better off safe than sorry....

Going into the new week of training I came to grips with my weight belt.  Recovering from Yorton my belt adjustment has gotten incrementally larger.  I was thankful the gym was empty as I sat watching my belt be loosened for the 3rd time, how humiliating it feels to have your coach re-adjust your weight belt. With my renewed attitude of  "better off safe than sorry" training turned a corner.  I immediately squatted 225lbs and my mental state began to turn.  Cardio has become part of my daily routine (with the exception of Sunday's) essential due to my body type, there's a depressing statement...

We are 13 weeks out from Richmond Pro Bowl, Hubby is starting to taper his diet starting tomorrow.......my excitement is starting to build!  His starting weight is around 168 with the goal of 149, all done through diet and little to no cardio......I can only dream of such a process.  What a way to kick off dieting with the last day being the Superbowl!  Cheers!!

Getting through re-entry

I sat watching Hubby eating half a pizza last night, let's not forget the Heineken, I couldn't help but blog (other than be pissed off since I'm allergic to both) where I'm at and what I've been experiencing since Yorton Cup .  Once again I was allergic to the tanning products......my skin is still not right, my hair began falling out midway through my competitive season, like my skin, it still hasn't recovered.  My body is completely foreign, I'm waiting for a glimpse of what I used to be and to feel comfortable in my skin.  My weight will be discussed at a later date....lol! My vision is way off......oh, I forgot, I am over 40 so that's to be expected!

Life is coming back into focus and starting to settle; Chelsea is situated in Baltimore, Tess is deciding which college to commit too, Paige is waiting for snow days, and Hubby starts dieting in 3 weeks for our first pro show (May 5th)......

Training has been a wonderful escape with no pressure.  Coach is waiting for my next move, I'm thinking power lifting in the fall........my bench is stuck @135, I have some work ahead since my last meet.....a personal best of 150lbs.
