Diet,Work out, Diet, Work out, Diet, Work out.........................oh and be a MOM!!

Its day 5 of the new meal plan(Pre Season) and I have lost 2 lbs already! I guess I wasn't really eating enough after all??? meals like salmon,green beans,brown rice, and half of a sweet potato or 6 oz of grilled chicken on a huge bed of spinach with a 1/4 cup whole grain pasta are meals I really wasn't eating because I thought they had too many carbs and fats but in fact my body is seeming to really enjoy the change, I am less tired(don't be fooled 3 kids running around like crazy, teaching aerobic classes, and working out WILL make you tired) but adding in some more carbs are seeming to help:)
I am trying my hardest to take in this experience, I am not sue if I will do another competition but even if I decide to I want to make this first experience OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

I am so excited to have the first TRUE wkout Thursday morning:) I know I should be nervous about the journey ahead, don't get me wrong I may be a little uneasy, but MOST of all I am so excited to be actually finally doing this!! I know this will be one of the most hardest things I have done, but I also said that about having a baby at 19, losing 100 lbs and running a half marathon.... but if everything in LIFE is easy then we would NEVER have TRUE SUCCESS stories, would we??????

Mom, Wife, Fitness Competitor?????

So first of all let me say that my "fitness journey" has been in process now for over 3 years, after having my second child I really wanted to not only look better but feel better. I began with small things, walking at the park, cutting out white carbs, and drinking more water, but seeing the results with just those small changes i decided to do it to the FULLEST and signed up at a local gym, and hired a trainer to help me with my eating habits(that btw I thought were FANTASTIC) boy was I wrong...2 years, 100 lbs, half marathon and a few 5k's under my belt I thought i had finally gotten to the end of my journey about to embark on my journey to be a Fitness Competitor.............WRONG...............baby number 3 was on the way and I thought all my hard work was about to go down the drain.

baby number three is 14 months now and I am back on track to my DREAMS!

I plan on competing in a local competition in 5 months, i have been training with a awesome trainer already but I have only been on the diet for 3 days, and start Competition training tomorrow. I am writing this blog not only to keep me motivated but to hopefully inspire ONE person, that even if you have kids, and you are a wife, and have a part time job, and you still need to lose weight....... with the right motivation your DREAMS can be a REALITY! hope you will stay tuned to the JOURNEY TO BE A FITNESS COMPETITOR.
