Cleansing Day2

I started my Isagenix 9 day cleanse yesterday. Honestly it hasn't been as bad as I expected it to be. Anytime I felt really hungry the snack wafers held me over. The berry cleanse drink doesn't taste bad, this surprised me. If I thought I peed too much before, drinking 2 gallons of water a day, that was nothing compared to now. Today I feel great, no weakness, and not hungry. The best part is I have had no cravings and no desire to scavenge my pantry. I take that back, the best part so far is the Ionix Supreme. The Ionix did not come with the 9 day cleanse, I had to order it separately. This stuff is amazing! I started taking it on Saturday and since then I sleep so good, I have more energy, mental clarity and focus, and I'm less bitchy. I worked over 12 hrs each day sat-mon, and this stuff I had to be why I kept my sanity. This morning I took the Ionix prior to my 1hr fasted walk/run, my runs on the treadmill were 7.5-8 and my 15sec sprints were up to 9.0!!! This was done effortlessly, the fastest I have ever ran for such a long duration. Just so you know, the Ionix doesn't give you the shakes or make your heart race. Can you tell I'm sold on this stuff?! When I first heard of Isagneix I thought it was all a money making scheme and couldn't be as healthy as they proclaimed. Once I heard Tony approved of the program, I became interested. Yes, the people that sell this stuff are aggressive, but now I know why, it makes you feel so dang good. I'm now wanting to tell everyone around me about this stuff and possibly ditch my job for good!



I can't tell you enough how much I hate my hours, all because its sometimes impossible to get in a workout. Not being able to workout twice a day, really hinders my progress when preparing for a competition. At this time I'm really not sure if I'm going to be ready for the Europa show. This show will be HUGE, lots of great competition, coming from all over the US and Canada. Regardless I will go to both the pro and amateur shows and the supplement expo. I want my body to be tight and badass for when I take pictures with some of my favorite pros. That being said, if I'm all lean and tight, why not compete?! I'll know for sure in the next 2 weeks. Financially, I will have more responsibilities coming up in August that could interfere with competing...fall tuition/books and purchasing a nice,used car.

WTF?!

ARgh! I just lost everything I typed and it was long! I went to preview, edit, and nothing was there but the title! I don't have time for this! I'm off to do my grueling LEG workout, maybe I can use up this frustration I'm feeling!

If YOU ever think YOU can't do something...

Water weight continues to go down!!! Everything has been going as planned. For the past few days I was on the high protein/no carb/healthy fat plan(pretty much all fish), today my oatmeal tasted like heaven! Having no carbs those days felt kind of good, I didn't feel so heavy. I work Sat-Mon 4am-3pm on my feet the entire time. Today I'm trying to get everything in order so that when I get off work, I can hit the gym, hit the books, and hit the bed. I hate my schedule, I hate getting up at 3am! Most of all when on this schedule, my gym is not yet opened for me to get in fasted cardio, and I don't feel safe running on the streets here at 2am. The hardest part is getting my butt to bed early on Friday, like 6pm is what I shoot for, but most of the time I don't fall asleep until 10pm. Thank goodness I only work 3 days out of the week. The days I don't feel like studying, I ask myself if I would rather be working, but the real answer is, I rather be cooking or at the gym :) If you must know, I work at a wal-mart grocery distribution center, so yeah, I have to look at food ALL 11 hrs! Its the sugary cereals and peanut butter that make me want to drool all over myself. Only reason I work there, the pay is good and it works with my school schedule...all the more reason to make good grades and graduate asap! So today I tried a new, yummy chicken marinade I found here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pretty-Chicken-Marinade/Detail.aspx. I try to watch my sodium, so I used very little of the soy sauce. I grilled the chicken on my fabulous williams-sonoma indoor grill and the chicken turned out better than expected. I'm always trying out new marinade recipes, I have to keep the chicken interesting, I know all of you can relate. Also I cooked two lean-turkey loafs, once again low-no sodium. I will keep one for the week and freeze the other one for later use. My house hasn't smelled this good in so long. I am so welcoming the flavor back into my diet, too bad not for long. I still need to eat, get in my back workout, tan, and study more. Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!

Thanks Yall

WOW! Blogging seems to be just what I'm needing. Everyone's support and motivation has been with me these past couple of days. Yesterday I accomplished everthing I intended to do...extra cardio and absolutely no cheating! Just to give you an idea of how much water I've been holding on to, this morning the scale read 6.4lbs less than Tuesday. Today has been great so far! Don't get me wrong I feel a craving every once in a while, I know this is b/c my body had gotten used to all the crap I was forcing down before. The heat is really starting to rise here in Texas. Last week being constantly full and feeling the affects of the heat, was plain miserable. Just stepping out the front door reminds me to stay clean and stay focused. Weeks leading up the show I was all about running in my sports bra and shorts (something I had visualized doing for years, but couldn't b/c I was a chub). Now that it is really freaking hot outside, I can't b/c of my water/fat gut...soon though, very, very SOON!

Welcome to my blog

It is about time I stop lurking at everyone else's blog and set up my own. I am a TonyDiva and find it motivating to read all of the other diva's blogs! I've been with Tony since last November. Even though they don't know me , it was Stacey and Beka's success that made me take the leap of faith...a leap I wish I would have taken sooner. With Tony's help I competed and won my first figure competition May 12th. I won 1st in my class and overall figure champion. The show was not a national qualifier, but great for getting my feet wet. I had hoped to do a show 3wks later, but decided the Tuesday before to pull out, I was mentally burned out and needed a break. As you fellow competitors know, prepping for a show, you are constantly going and your mind never stops racing.

The bad news and the main reason for starting this blog...my eating has been COMPLETELY out of control for 1 month!!! I am a sugar addict all the way! Each day I promise myself, write out goals, and prepare to be 100% clean. Unfortunately I am an "all or nothing" kind of gal. If I eat one brownie, I think the day is screwed and continue to eat bad. I used to never think like this, I was in control and completely focused...I've lost my mojo. I miss being the "machine" that didn't think once or twice about putting that naughty bite in my mouth. The "machine" who automaticly got out of bed each morning and put on her running shoes, there was no thinking to it. Right now I feel like a huge blob. You would think I would be happy to have my boobs back, but not having them meant I was lean and mean. I realize most of the weight I'm carrying is water weight. For the June 2nd show I was sodium loading, then when I decided not to do the show, all I consumed was sugar and I never sodium depleted (you get the picture). Tony is aware of most of this, but not he doesn't realize how bad I've fallen off the wagon. I'm getting back into doing my weights. I did sooo much cardio pre-contest, that I just don't want to think about it.

I want to do a show Aug 10th, the Europa in Dallas, only 9wks from today! I know I can do this, I just need my focus back. I believe if I added in my daily morning 1hr walk/runs, eat 100%clean, and visualize non-stop I would be able to pull off this added weight in a couple of weeks. I so badly want to have a collection of trophy's and swords, I can see them lined up on my dresser now. This Thursday is payday and I absolutely can not wait to order my Isagenix 9day cleanse. I continue to research forums and blogs and I get excited just reading everyones positive feedback. Until the cleanse arrives I intend to pull off some of this weight so that by the end of the cleanse, I will be closer at reaching my goal weight. 4wks out from the Europa I would like to be satisfied at where I'm at, just so I won't have to literally kill myself witht the cardio before the show.

So yeah, I know what I want, I just have to put the plan into action. Today has not been perfect, but from here on out I'm going to make a strong effort to win myself another trophy. I still have a leg w/o to do tonight...gotta love those lunge lifts! "No hurt, no skirt"!

Keep in mind I'm new to this and I'm still trying to find the best way to post pics on here. The above pic was taken backstage at my May 12th show. I refuse to post a current pic and weight. However I will be posting daily pics and measurements while doing the isagenix cleanse. I look forward to all of you keeping me accountable!
