KristaLeigh's Training Journal

She also needs to work on her lower abs, but then again who am I to say that cause that's what I really need to work on as well
 
But right now I'm starting to get this off topic, this is your journal... So back to you
 
Took a rest day yesterday and went to bed way early. Baaaad headache. Kickboxing today though and it was a great class.
 
Well today was definitely a learning experience. I just felt off for this show. My focus wasn't there and I wasn't really into it. I slept through my alarm so my morning was rushed. My spray tan set in really unevenly on my legs and they ended up having to do another full coat to fix it so I was way too dark. Morning show was ok but finals were rough. My tendinitis flared up so badly in my feet that by the time finals started I could barely get my feet in my shoes. I couldn't put much pressure on my feet and so my individual routine was hell. I nearly fell twice. Not like a little shaky wobbly. I'm talking full blown hanging on by my toes for dear life. The entire finals all I could do was try and smile and hope that I could stay standing while I had to be on stage. I honestly didn't even care about where I placed or how I did this show. My feet need a rest. I've been doing too much cardio for my feet. Not any more than most competitors do but it's too much repetitive impact for my feet. I have 6 weeks til my next show. I'm going to adjust my diet significantly this time around and rely more on that and lifting rather than cardio. Compared to other competitors my legs were tight but my core was soft looking. So this show was good practice, but I'm not happy with what I brought to the stage. My body is run down and tired and injured. My posing would have been solid if my feet would have held up.

This was my first show with no support person there. I had a client who was competing too but aside from that I didn't have a go to person for the day. It was way harder. I knew a few people in the audience who were there to support teammates and some people from my gym came but not people who really are someone I could count on. Past shows I was super excited about but this one was just about getting through the day. I woke up this morning and honestly didn't care how I did. I know that sounds horrible but I just wasn't feeling the drive today that I normally have.

Had BDubs for post show but honestly I just sat there like a zombie and ate a few wings, fries, and nachos. I didn't have the epic post show cheat meal. I have Oreos in my freezer that I've been dying to eat but I don't even want to eat them. I'm in a funk I think. I just felt distracted and alone today. Not energized and excited and supported.

I'm just glad I didn't actually fall. I looked like a newborn giraffe trying to surf. Or at least that's how I felt. I tried to get back on my heels instead of the ball of my feet and it threw me off. Oh well, could have been worse.
 
cant fault ur pics, really nice
 
Back at training today. Was going to take today off but I feel like I need the stress relief. I'm excited to train with preworkout again.

Goals for the next 6 weeks:
5% loss in body fat
Better hamstring development
Better arm development
Smaller waist
Let my feet heal
 
keep at it. you will get there!
take a few days off damn it!

Lol I ended up grocery shopping and napping. My foot is noticeably swollen where I have the tendinitis and it's red. You can see it even with the wicked tan. I'm in so much pain and I'm taking today off too. Back at it tomorrow.
 
If it hurts tomorrow dont go then either. your body will probably love the relief. you do a ton of cardio. your legs have to kinda hate you.
 
Just be careful, if your taking pressure off your foot because it's sore, another part of the body has to compensate for that and could result in another injury

Trust me I'm well aware. I'll have it taped up and stabilized for class tomorrow. Weights don't bother it. It's the cardio.
 
Feet still feeling a little rough. Right one is still pretty swollen where the tendon attaches. I've been feeling really run down the past few days and figured it was just from dieting down for the show but I now have 3 clients out sick this week that have the flu, confirmed by their doctor. Clients I met with late last week. I've been taking my airborne but still. This week I'm just going to do what I have to as far as exercise goes. I teach kickbox today, spin and 2 sculpt classes Thursday and yoga on Friday. Trying to let my body heal up from injuries, reset my metabolism, and avoid getting sick.
 
Thank you for sharing that journey !!!! That was so awesome.... I hope you feel better and let yourself heal, I know your a soldier and probably won't. lol
