Well the last few weeks have been crazy. Between me being at work and our dear friend and her boyfriend staying with us for a week Trish and I’s lives have been hectic already.

In two weeks we move into our new apartment (first time both our names have been on the lease) and I’m starting to hit high gear for my contest prep. Plus Trish has started her biggest loser challenge. I will keep everyone posted on how that is going.

Contest prep has been a little easier than I believed it would be just from the fact that Trish has been really supportive and so have my co-workers. They don’t mind me stopping what I am doing every 2.5 hours and eating a meal.

Meals have been scaled back to 6 a day at 2.5 hour intervals and the carbs are almost non existent. I get them for breakfast and that’s about it. Like I say to everyone that is just how my life will be lived from here on out. Just to give a little insight into my diet it is basically egg whites, chicken and turkey for protein with oats, brown rice Adams as my choice for carbs. I get carbs my 1st three meals and then no more throughout the rest of the day.

Cardio has been a pain in the arse, but as always I just power through it and don’t think about it. Though I have begun to read more articles that are saying shorter (10-15 minutes) more intense sessions are actually better for fat loss. You would do 3 cardio sessions a day at that allotted time frame. Wondering if it really works. Not going to try it this time around, but maybe this off-season and next contest prep.
I know I get in extra cardio with all the walking I do at work so I might include walking the stairs if I can to help get in another session during the day. Every little thing helps.

And that includes sleep so I will go to bed and try not to have dreams of ice cream.
