I
will be competing in the ATLANTIC CITY PRO this weekend
- September 15! I am feeling pretty good and looking
in better condition than my last 2 shows. I am hoping
to best my conditioning that I had when I earned my pro
card in 2005. . .if I can accomplish that goal I will
be extremely happy!!!!
Me
and mom will be driving down on Thursday (9/13) and hitting
the boardwalk for the last few days. I am really looking
forward to having my mom with me and making a great weekend
out of it for both of us as she has been sturggling this
summer with her health.

Me in Atlantic City hotel room |
My
training and cardio and diet (believe it or not ) has been
the most comforting thing about my life lately as I am going
through a life transition. I resigned from my 22 year job
as a social worker and am exploring my next step. . .with
my life in limbo this prep has been actual comfort!!! LIFE
IS CRAZY, EH?
It has been hard to get into the gym at times during this
as I have been traveling for work. . .cardio is never a
problem as there is ALWAYS a treadmill in the hotel. . .but
try to find some free weights though!!!!! I am used to bringing
my food with me everywhere I go so that isn't an issue either.
I think it has worked out OK. . .I will keep you posted
as to the AC weekend!!! |
Getting
ready for Atlantic City Show!
|
| For
now. . .it's on to carb depletion, last days of cardio,
routine choreography and last minute touches!!!!

TIP OF THE MONTH
Don't
STRESS eat!!
Try to recognize when you are grabbing something that you
know isn't on your diet plan. Is it a time when you are
stressed out, angry, sad, disappointed, feel like rewarding
yourself??? If you answered "YES". . .you are
eating for comfort!! Recognizing this is the first step
to changing that behavior. Notice that you really are NOT
hungry at that time!
Once you recognize this try to substitute the behavior with
something else. . .can you go for a walk, go to the gym,
write a letter, call a friend, meditate, clean your house,
do your laundry? There are TONS of things you can do to
bypass the fridge and stay on your plan!!!!
RECOGNIZING your bad habits is half the battle to CHANGING
them!!!!!!
