OK, time to start a new journal for the year...Figured it would help me keep on track with my goals for the year... some may be mini-goals but hey it's a beginning and gets me off my stagnating butt!
Just got back from a sunny vacation. I did pretty good a (suprisingly) and woke up every morning at 5am to hit the gym. Hubby and I walked by the beach for about 1 mile to the gym, workout for 1-1.5 hours and walked back. The walk early in the morning was the best time and I really enjoyed it. Stayed pretty well on diet so happy bout that. The not so good part was once I got back this week... I had kinda a freeweek.... so after eating my heart out on bagels, Lindt chocolate, cookies, and sinning away my carb-lust, I'm ready to start...
Diet and Nutrition: Will follow alternate with the Lean Muscle Gain Diet (about 75g carb) and a Beverly/Dp/w8 cutting style diet (25-40g carb). I feel the best having some carbs so I may do 2 weeks Lean bulk and 1 week cutting diet. This is still a trial and error for me, I'm learning and improvising as I go along
...
Workouts: Another experiment for me. I have been doing my old workouts now and ready for a change. I don't have a clue so I'm thinking bout giving Gopro's workout a try and teaming it up with my diet. So maybe "Power" and "Rep Range" workouts with my Lean Bulk and "Shock" with my cutting diet. I'm not too happy about the exercises in the "Shock" week since it would require too much of back and forth in the gym so I may adapt them and make them one giant superset instead...
Fitness Goals:
1. Get ready for my dance show on June 21, 2003. So working on decreasing bf%, increasing flexibility and learning dance routine...ofcourse there is that stage fright thingy too...
2. Maybe enter a comp this fall or next spring...

so well my stats tomorrow won't be too embarassing 
==============
3 hours of preschoolers which was a lot of fun! Love that age...thank God no one had accidents so I didn't have to change anyone... but then 2 hours of 6-10 year olds was a pain! When they get older these kids can be rowdy, rude and get outa hand! Plus it was mega cold today so these kids had not been out for fresh air all day so they were extra loud! I think I need a stiff drink! Chase it down with some Lindth chocolate! No but I gotta be good!
