Hello everyone!! I am disappointed to say that I did not get to go to the Washington Ironman last weekend........I was SO incredibly sick with the flu. I ached from the top of my head to the tips of my toes! I did not eat for 2 whole days....which for me is huge!!! (anyone who knows me will tell you that I LOVE my food!) So, I lost 4 lbs, which I was fearing was all my hard earned muscle, but I had my body comp done today and got some good news. I actually lost 2 lbs of fat, and only lost a tiny amount of lean. Most of the loss was water. My weight is 127lbs now, and my bodyfat 8% (per the underwater dunk tank). I actually calipered out at 7.6%, which I always am less on caliper because they don't do the pinch test on your butt!
I have some great news! I was chosen as one of the fitness competitors of the week on bodybuilding.com!!!!! My profile will be posted in the next 6 to 8 weeks. I have always wanted to send my pics to them, but never got around to it till now. Hopefully that will give me some good exposure right before nationals:)
I started on a new diet the day I got better from the flu....this one is tough! I have low carb days mon,tue, thurs, fri. Then higher carb days on Wed, Sun (both of those days include cheat meals before bed- which is awesome!) I have already started to see great results. I will keep you posted on the diet and my progress. My goal is to have my body comp done again in 2 weeks (which will be 4 weeks out from nationals) then it will be done weekly. Starting to get excited! Oh, by the way, my daughter won another soccer game tonight- scored 3 goals herself! I'm not proud or anything.....hee hee hee. Have a great day tomorrow everyone- I will write soon.
Happy Training,

Tami
