Personal life has had some interesting spins this week. Should be an interesting weekend...we will see!!

This week's plan (revised):
Mon: Back bi's
Tue: lighter legs
Wed: Chest/Tri's
Thur: Shoulders
Fri: rest
Sat: legs & ??
Sun: Back bi's

Plan:

4:45 1 egg white

Had an issue last night w/BBQ sauce...yep, just plain out of the bottle...ate probably 200 calories worth. SO nOT cool! Need to watch that kind of crap. I'm sure some of the weight gain this morning is from the sodium.

Interested to see the scale isn't moving at all....may contact Beverly advisor if things don't moved. Also ordered some of their fat burners they recommended.

Had a stranger come up to me at the gym last night and asked if I could train her because she wants her abs to look like mine. She was very complimentary....I was flattered. :)

Have had a couple of life issues that have me a little frustrated....just people crap. Gets my ass...but I need to let it go. Focusing solely on this competition will help.....things w/Seth are going so very well.

Body fat readings tomorrow morning....was @ 20% 12 weeks ago...we'll seee....hoping for 12-15%.

Feeling: good...darn good....not too overly hungry today after the carb-up yesterday...this is good.

Decent back/bi's workout last night w/some extra cardio. Overall pretty good night.

Seth & I talked some...guess it's all ironed out for now. Hopefully getting the divorce thing to a resolution also.

Should be a good weekend...only 1 appt all weekend. That is VERY good :) :) :)


Last night shoulders was pretty good workout....lifted w/friend, Mike. He got on my nerves and I was in a pissy mood, but did get a good lift in. Ran some late last night to try to handle frustration of day...it did help.

This week's plan:
Thur: back/bi's
Fri: rest
Sat: legs & tri's
Sun: Chest & light Shoulders

Plan:

4:45 1 cup SF Jello
6:15 low carb protein shake
8:30 1 whole eggs & 4 whites & 2 oz tilipia & green peppers/cucumbers
11:30 5 oz chicken breast & broc/green/caulif/peppers
2:30 5 oz pork chop & spinach w/dressing/Udo
5:30 low carb protein shake
8:30 Carbup (bananna, 1 cup oatmeal, sweet potato & peanut butter)

Big sigh....

The James/divorce issue has been flaring. He called me anorexic & old looking (among many other bad things). I know he says these things out of anger & jealousy but I can't help but feel bad.

Then Seth really let me have it last night...instead of being supportive, he was very critical of me and the way I'm handling this divorce situation. He knows it all...jeesh. Might re-evaluate this whole situation. Just not comfortable with the way he talked to me and the things he said...it's sad, because I do like him a lot. Just can't overlook important qualities like this though. We'll see.....

Good friend's dog is very ill as well. I feel terrible...hopefully the little guy will pull through.

So anyways, this is a sunshiny message. Everything is going to be alright...guess I just need another day of introspection to try to figure things out.

Some days feel like a rollercoaster....and I'm feeling a little fat today too.... Okay, going to work to overcome all of this.

7 weeks tomorrow....now that makes me a little nervous :)
