This Is Your Body, This Is Your Body Without Carbs!
What can I say about carb depleting???? UMMM I can say it SUCKS!!! If I may speak freely I don't know why anyone would do the Atkins diet....its just crazy. Last week I carb depleted for 4 days as a trial for competition. Needless to say I was more than a little nervous about the process. I don't eat a ton of processed carbs but I do like fruit and about a million other foods that you don't even stop to think about having a carbohydrate in them.
Parents Just Don't Understand
It would seem DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince had it right when they said "Parents Just Don’t Understand." At least that is the case when it comes to my Dad. What can I tell you about my Dad? Well he is your typical over-protective, Italian father. Growing up under his roof was not exactly a walk in the park. There were strict rules about bedtimes, grades, work, going out and for his two daughters...boys. My early high school years consisted mostly of going to school, hanging out with my one best girl friend and going to dance class. The up side to this was that I was very focused on dance; I was at the studio 3-5 days a week taking class and rehearsing.

DJ Drop That Beat
Are you wondering what is getting me through these INSAIN workouts? Its simple... a BUMPIN BEAT!!! Music is the ONLY thing that can get me through a tough workout. Here is my latest playlist.
Scuse Me? And Mighty I Add Seriously?
I'm sitting on my couch with my upper body aching and my legs trembling...my trainer kicked my ASS today!!! Sorry for the swearing but anything less just would describe the brutal workouts Ive been through the last two weeks. Im not complaining, in fact I thrive off of the pain, it pushes me to work harder but honestly the workouts are insane. They are the most dreaded and most looked forward to hour of my day. I am exactly 14 weeks away from competition day, that might sound like a lot of time but its not....at all!!!
Week One...Oh What a Week!
Last week I announced I will be competing in my first fitness competition. I'm excited for you to come along on this journey with me, and oh what a journey it is going to be! Lets just say I don't think I knew EXACTLY what I was getting myself into. Once I commit to something there's no turning back so here we go. The day after I announced I would be competing I decided to start asking for some advice, usually a good idea when entering into something you have never done before right? WRONG!!!! To many cooks in the kitchen as the saying goes, everyone had an opinion on how I should train, how I should eat, when I should compete and even if I could be successful at it.
Give Me 20!!!
Keeping up with our theme of what to do this Memorial Day Weekend, I have decided to create a play list and workout for you. Take a cue from all of our amazing and brave troops, lets get back to the basics of working out with jumping jacks, push-ups, squats, lunges and soldier crawls. Download the play list below and get to work.
