Week 2 Figure Competition Prep!

~NPC FIGURE WEEK 2 PREP~

So this was the first FULL week of me back at the gym lifting weights in 4 yrs!! I cannot believe it has been that long since I actually was active in a gym, but I am so proud to say I got my body using home fitness programs through TEAM BEACHBODY and keeping up with my nutrition using SHAKEOLOGY!

This week, my regimen consisted of 5 days of lifting, cardio every morning and 20 min of cardio post-workout.  

Four of these mornings, I actually did PiYo because I am so hooked on it after being part of Beach body's PiYo test group and seeing great results!

I was able to find my abs and lots of toning and strength in my upper body! 

If you want to learn to do push ups and tricep push ups in your sleep, PiYo is going to get you there for sure! Oh and the flexibility you get from the program is UNREAL!!!

If you are wanting to get involved with the new PiYo workout, I will say it is great for ANYONE!! Whether you have back or knee injuries, this program is low impact and no jumping!!

Not only does the program have great exercises for your body, but the nutrition guide is EASY and will show you RESULTS!!

If you want support, motivation, and accountability to get your ultimate health and fitness results, fill out my challenge group application at the bottom! 

My PiYo test group will start June 14th! This is the first group after my Beachbody test group for the company! Get ready to tone, and gain strength and flexibility you never had!

Back to my 2nd week of training! You now know what my morning workouts consist of, and I am separating my lifting days by Leg day, back, shoulders, arms (bis and triceps).

I am only doing my arms once every 3 weeks or so because I have too much going on there.. I need to bring out my shoulders to have more of a V shape! My legs are what I really need to work on.. so that is twice a week.. I already did hamstrings and glutes as a separate day and tomorrow I will be focusing on quads!  

My post workouts are fast paced paced on very very high incline on the treadmill.  I am not use to all this low impact exercise, but its definitely working!! Its crazy to know all these years, I thought the only way to get results is by killing my body, sprinting, and jumping up and down! Totally not the case!!

On to my nutrition! Let me just tell you how important it is to be on a strict regimen.. I have found myself on top of my nutrition now that I am holding myself accountable and made this goal of doing my figure show in October!  I am doing weekly meal plans, prepping all my food, and really focusing on eating every 2 and 3 hours.  It is definitely very hard to do, especially when you have to force food in your mouth when your not even hungry, but I know its for the best and will pay off!! I know its so early in the game, and will get much harder, but I can definitely handle this! I am doing All chicken (6 oz each meal), egg whites (6-10), and my Shakeology shakes with 1/2 scoop whey protein for my protein intake.  For my heavy carbs, I am doing sweet potatoes and oatmeal. I also am doing 2 apples a day.  For my veggies, I have green beans, peppers, and salads this week.  It is so easy to prep when you eat the same thing every day!!

One of my favorite days was LEG DAY! Its totally a love/hate relationship... Hate- because I can barely walk after my workout and days after... Love- because I get to eat WHATEVER I WANT within an hour of my workout LOL!

 I had to do Red Robin!! I even ordered an appetizer which I NEVER DO!! I took my kids with me and had a date!! I ate those nachos with chili and guacamole so fast people probably thought I never ate before lol!!


Then of course my main entree came and I devoured that too like it was nobodies business!! It was a bonus that I was able to have my spicy ranch with my seasoned fries!!

I felt terrible for the first hour after, but surprisingly, I was fine after and the next day, did not feel bad at all!! I guess this is what happens when you are that strict every other day!! You can afford that cheat meal and you wont have to feel guilty!!

I can definitely tell my metabolism is increasing since doing PiYo and now incorporating weights into my routine! I am so darn excited about really being serious about this competition!! My body does not feel deprived of nutrients, energy, or sleep! I am feeling amazing and like a million bucks!! Lets see in a couple months if this changes lol!!

Well I think I am done for now, today was my off day for weights, but I did do cardio, so Saturday is a weight day, and Sunday is another off day for weights, but will continue cardio 7 days a week for now!

Next week I am in Vegas for Beachbody and I am sooooooo excited to come back and share all my exciting news with everyone!! I have lots going on, so you definitely want to stay tuned!!!

Ready for SUMMIT 2014 BEACHBODY!
