Last week I began training for my first fitness competition, and on my fourth sprint to victory, my hamstring locked up on me and threatened to annihilate me!
It has taken a full week to recover and I am 2 sessions in and have spoken more to god during my workouts than any other time in my life!
But I am excited about the results to come.
I will post pictures and log my journey.
You Must come back to look at the pics I will post.

So, I am week 2 of my training and I am still very much excited. Every time a complete a work out, I feel I am closer to change and results. At this point I am very optimistic and I am taking control of my eating, because when you work out as hard as I do, not eating properly is just plain foolish! I know I have to upload the pics, they are rough, because I can see all the things I want to go away and then to expose them to the world will be a lot, but its all good. I am hoping that the progress that I make will inspire someone to take steps towards their own progress.
The best thing about it all is the discipline that spills over to every aspect of your life. I am about to start law school in week, and I am ready to take on that challenge with the same level of enthusiasm and vigor that I am taking with my first fitness competition.
Stay posted!

So week 4, and I am implementing positive thinking into my fitness regime. I have been working out consistently, 6 days a week with 2 of the days consisting of Yoga and Pilate's. I don't know exactly where I am supposed to be at, but I don't feel the weight is coming off fast enough or at all.
I know that it is not the workouts because they have been challenging and consistent.
That means it is my eating. I only eat seafood, and I have several food allergies so variety is my next challenge. I am tired, although I don't know if it is fatigue or not being engaged because I have so many things going on.
Monday is the start of law school, I am excited, and wondering how it will all work out with my fitness goals.
I will check back in on Monday and let you know how the first day went...in another stream of thoughts called "law student"

Okay, so this is the first week of training and adding school into the mix of things, okay so its only been two days.
As of now my schedule has changed I am no longer working out in the afternoon but at 730am in the morning, so I am up at 630a, so far so good.
Last night we didn't get out of school till 10pm, so that was a little frazzling. I am coping with the information overload, but I still go up this morning to get my work out in. I feel that it will be just as important as studying my required hours.
As far as my eating, as much as I wanted to eat non-sense after class, and had all of the excuses of its late, I worked hard. I went home and ate baked fish and salad. ( Importance of preparing meals in advance)
I am seeing small changes in my body, and that is enough to get me hooked and more disciplined. I really want this, even though their is crap around, there is no excuse to eat it because its easier.

So, I am a little bit frustrated and I know that I am not supposed to be so I am trying to incorporate zen fitness into my life, and of course because of my frustration, I turn it inward. I not eating awful foods, I am just not eating the best I could be with out killing myself. I need to eat more veggies, although I have started to drink them.
I don't think that I am losing any weight and I swear that my hips are spreading. My work outs are confined to heavy cardio which is fine for the body, physically I can do it with out a problem, it is the mental of wanting to jump over the wall, do a back flip tuck and land on my pinky toe work outs that I miss.
I am in school 4 nights a week, and studying 7 nights a week, so I am wondering if I can get 2 hour workout in there 3 times a week.
I am determined and know that it is all a process, but I am really wanting to see results, but I guess in 3 months I can look back at this and laugh at myself...
