Kristin: Week 2

(11 weeks from competition)

Nutrition:

• Same as last week: "Add muscle: phase II" meal plan, eating every 2-3 hours for six total meals
• 2 cups of green tea/day
• 1 gallon of water/day

Supplements

• Again, same as last week, but I added in BCAA capsules pre/post weight sessions

Workouts:

• Still the same, but I didn't do any of the ab/core workouts last week (shame on me!), so I plan to double time them this week!

I am so happy for Landa and her only gaining 1.1% on vacation! I know it would have been very easy for her to go hog wild, but she managed not to gain that much! So proud!

There was no official weigh-in for this week, so I'm not sure what my body fat and weight are in the photos. Just by looking, I think my arms are a little more toned and my butt seems a little less saggy, but other than that, not seeing too many changes. The bodyworker in me is going crazy though with all of my small discrepancies that become glaringly obvious when I look at the photos. Landa, you know what I'm talking about! I am hoping I can fix them myself, otherwise, I think I am going to set up an appointment for some real bodywork!

I am one week into this craziness and I have to say, it's actually not that bad! I had grits for the first time (plain Jane--nothing added) and I actually really liked them! All of the other things I am eating right now are generally how I used to eat before getting ready for competition, so no big changes on for me on that front. The cleanse was rough, but I'm glad it's over! I've been consistent with my meals/supplements and water and I have managed to squeeze in all of my workouts!

With my crazy schedule, I sometimes had to get creative on finding places to heat up my food when it's time for a meal. Luckily, most of the grocery stores in Houston have microwaves and a little seating area, so I just stop in and eat on my way to other appointments/activities. No excuses not to get in my meals!

The girls night last night was so much fun! I stayed consistent with my meals and only had a tiny bit of pasta and wine. We watched Out of Africa with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford and, although it was really long, it was a very good movie. Thank you Lisa for hosting an awesome night! Can't wait until next month!

It's time to start thinking about suit colors. I usually look best in corals and yellows, and I'm also thinking about kelly green. Anyone have any suggestions?
