    Monday Monday....Its a holiday and since I work with Marines, I am off! But I have a client I am training at 0900 and I wanted to make sure I did my AM cardio. I have a little gym in my community, but the treadmills electrocute me (ok, probably just a bad shock, but sometimes its so bad that it shorts out the treadmill!! so annoying), the elliptical is awful, and there is no stepper, so I am resigned to the bike. And I am not doing 800 calories of biking everyday. Yuk. So I drove my hubs to work at 0445, and made the 20 minute trek to my gym on base. The good news is, I have a KEY so I get to work out all by myself in the mornings since on holidays and weekends, the gym doesn't open till 0800. So I did my cardio, and now I am killing time before I get my son out of bed and go train my client. My son plays with hers whilst we train, so its a good deal.

    Then gym session #2 at 1pm, which includes my weights, and one more cardio session tonight, which will be the bike.

    129 lbs this AM, and that's the day AFTER high carb Sunday so I think that's pretty good! 2 training weeks left until peak week! I hope I can get to 126 by then, so that way I don't have to stress about dropping water too much. This is by far the most demanding prep I have had, but it has yielded the best results and I am super stoked!

    Hey Riana!

    Loving your journal so far!

    Glad you are feeling better!

    I second Tracy on that ab vein! Super cool! Who would think it...but we are so stoked when the veins start a poppin'! I know my students & faculty think I am a nut when I show them how vascular my arms get! lol!

    Since you have been posting "square of truth" numbers (aka weight) I was curious to know how tall you are?

    Sorry to hear about your car! Suffice to say car woes suck! Especially with all the costs associated with contest prep & competition day! Last week my truck tangled with a tanker & lost! At least I was not injured & my truck is drivable. Will be getting it inspected for repair later this week. The upside is that I should not have to pay a deductible because the tanker driver got ticketed and was at fault. Keeping finger crossed on that!

    Anywho! Keep on killing it! With only 4 weeks to go, it looks like you've got this! I also second Big Sexy! It would be cool to see your training in action!

    Much respect!
    Elise

    Hey Elise! I am 5'6". SO I am stoked about my 129. Last time I was on stage (blue suit from above) I was 128 (maybe 127) so my goal this time is 123-124ish. I dont want to have to rely on that water weight loss at the end. I want my bodyfat to be low enough to matter, and then amaybe a couple pounds of water on top of that to really keep me lean. I look Okay in the blue suit, but my glute hams are NO WHERE near where they should be. I feel this time around, I am much closer! Thanks for following

    I usually do 1 competition, then take like 3 months off, and do another, so 2 a year (this is my 4th competition coming up) but I would rather take a longer off-season to really work on improvements, and stay in season and do a few shows. If I am already dieted and maintaining without difficulty, might as well continue. So I will do Feb 9th, then March 16th in San Diego, and possibly even the Cals in April with my coach Meriza and friend Francine Sablan (both competing pro figure). If I win an overall at any of these shows, then I will shoot for a National show. I will probably do USAs, but if I can get the funding to do South Carolina, I will Here is too looking for a sponsor!

    Thanks for the interest

    This morning after cardio and before food, I was 128.5, so still dropping. 1.5 training weeks left!

    I work at a gym, so usually getting my workouts in is no problem, but we are doing massive construction for the next 2 weeks, so we need all our manpower monitoring exits, creating a new entrance, manually checking people in, etc. So working outon my shift is no longer an option. I can still do my early morning cardio, but I will do my mid-day cardio and weights right after I am off at 1pm, then i will finish in the evening with my coach and last cardio bout. Gotta stay motivated!

    Goal is 126 lbs by Feb 2. that way I just have to drop a couple pounds of water, and not worry about the fat. Last time I started my water depletion in peak week, I weighed 132. (or 131), so I already have 3-4 lbs extra fat gone. i know I have gained muscle too since last time, becuase I took a 9 month off-season to lift. Yay!

    Great progress Riana! I'm competing in July...possibly in Jun, but not sure if my work schedule will allow. As it gets closer I'll definitely attend a posing session with Meriza and Francine..will probably see you there at Worlds

    Thanks for all the Inspiring words! Its ladies like you that completely motivate me
    _________________________

    I had a day of exhaustion yesterday. I had my frist leg day with Meriza since being sick on tuesday, and man it was a killer. Being this close to a show, low carb and dieted, let's just say my performance was less than par. I hate feeling weak, and I failed on a few reps and I got so frustrated I started crying (not like bawling, I have some dignity, but tears of frustration). Not to mention I had a shitty day on Tuesday. The Federal govt started garnishing my wages becuase I owe $700 on taxes. I need all my money to feed the family and pay for this show. I was so mad when I went to register, and my money wasnt in my acct. When I called the IRS, even they said "WHy are we garnishing you for $700??" I was like "YOU TELL ME??" Plus my poor car is cost up to $3000 now, from $2500. Its just one thing after another....So yesterday I pretty much collapsed. Only did AM cardio, trained my clients, then slept the rest of the day...

    BUT today is a new day. I feel revitalized. I can handle all that life throws at me. My husband and I are returning the TV I got for us. He says my show is more important than a TV in our room that we barely use. We mostly just go in there to escape the roomates...Its all good though. We lived without one for 9 years, we can do it for a few more months. The IRS stopped garnishing if I promised to pay by May, and my sister in law lent us the extra for our car. Just got to keep a positive outlook.

    still 128.5 today, but like I said, I didnt do anything yesteday. Feeling much better though!

    ________________________
    Had my assessment with Meriza today, and Pete (Ciconne) came in to examine too. We are currently discussing carb loading before the show. I guess even though I am depleated today, I still look pretty full, so they want to see me again tomorrow after my carb load today and see how I look then, that way they can decide how or if they will load me. I love that they think of everything! Like a dress rehearsal! Great coaches!

    I will attach some progress pics here shortly. The first set is from Dec 17th, and last set is from today. I NEVER post these because I am usually too embarrased, but I am excited now! Even my butt is starting to come together, which it NEVER looks good!

    Weight this AM: 126.5

(4 if you dont count the last week) and I have about 8 more lbs to lose of fat. Then its just water play .
    Do you recommend a certain type of heart monitor I am thinking of getting the polar FT7.
