I made a deal with myself that instead of cheating on my diet during this prep, I would write down the name/type of food I was craving and wait until after the show to eat it. This time my cravings are still indulgent (by a dieter's standards) but are much simpler and healthier. My "Wish List" for post-comp foods are:. Honey Honey in tea, on cereal, with peanut butter, in baked foods. Oh, s...

Today marks 11 weeks out, and I finally feel like I'm making steady, significant progress. I actually feel as though I'll not only be ready in time, but will actually be able to bring a better package to the stage this year. And while yes, I did put on too much fat, I know I made some good muscular gains as well, especially in my quads. 2) The workouts Jay has me d...

Creating my ideal figure, one workout and one meal at a time. View my complete profile. Sunday, November 6, 2011. Am I right, ladies? I think every competitor I know has complained about this issue, and that's because the post-show blues are REAL and they SUCK! Even though you may still be healthy and look great in the weeks following your show, it's still hard to look at yourself 5, 10, or even 15 lbs heavier and have the same confidence you did just a short time ago. It makes no sense! I am a Runner.

And yes, you're right again. there is a catch lol. Banana Split. Unapologetically delicious, and dieter approved :). My friend Jess (of "The Montreal Veggie") introduced me to banana ice cream about a year ago and I haven't looked back since. My boyfriend John is lactose-intolerant, and I try. To watch what I eat even when. I recently...

My mom is particularly talented at this; it would seem that raising 6 kids, teaching special needs students, and teaching piano have given her a lot of experience in giving pep talks over the years! If you can keep your head when all about you. Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;. But make allowance for their doubting too:.

My nutritionist Dave (and his lovely co-conspirator, Karine) will be releasing their new cookbook in a few days. It's called Metabolic Cooking. I was fortunate enough to be a test subject for their new recipes, and they asked me to do a testimonial for them. Obviously, I was happy to oblige! They did help me lose 30lbs after all! Lol You can view my testimonial here:. Thursday, March 24, 2011.

There's just something about Mondays that makes me not want to work out! Came on. It was "Work" by the Saturdays. It's about how if you want something, you have to work to get it. Which meant no more being lazy on the recumbent for Tess! I'm happy to say that I finished my cardio with a HR of 150bpm, then went on to have an awesome back workout this afternoon.

Spring is here and Ottawa's running culture is out in full force, either training for the Ottawa Race Weekend on May 28th/29th, or just for the joy of being able to run along the Rideau Canal again. At any point, you can check your average pace, time, and distance elapsed.
