Wow, I've been slacking on my posts but I've been a busy bee! And yes I'm still sticking to my diet and workout plan religiously. Between posing practices and all the other things going on right now, I feel like the days are just flying by and I will be on stage before I know it!
Before I go into the explanation for the title of this post, I will just make it clear those are NOT my abs in case anyone was wondering :) Someday maybe . . . .I have always wanted a six pack (abs, not beer, had plenty of those in my college days . . and twenties . . ) Anyone else ever heard the saying "abs are made in the kitchen"? I must say I completely agree with this! After weeks of dieting and avoiding some of my favorites cheats (dark chocolate and pizza!) I am starting to construct a six pack. The first time Andy said "Woah, check out that six pack!" I asked him what he was talking about because I didn't see any beer around! I also happened to be standing in weird lighting in our basement which created the perfect shadow effect on my abs. Then when my coach pointed them out and called another girl in and said "Hey, check our her abs! I actually kind of hate her right now", I knew I was on my way to achieving my dream of a solid, washboard stomach.
The funny thing is that I still don't see what everyone else is seeing. Probably because I see my abs all the time so I don't notice the change as much. And no, I don't check them out after doing a set of crunches like many guys in the gym who think they will magically appear after one set of crunches! I am excited to see what will happen over the next 9.5 weeks!
I am upping my cardio this week and we made some small tweaks in my diet so hopefully I will start to see the changes for myself. Luckily my weekly measurements have been going well - body fat % has gone down every week for the last three weeks. Maybe not quite as much as I hoped but I know I need to be patient and keep doing what I'm doing.
I better finish my weekly food prep before I get ready for another round of posing in my fancy plastic hooker heels!
