Countdown to Competition Log......

[Miss24k]

Chicka I know Sunday has passed lol but for the future, if you have a scheduled day off from training then do not train on that day. Part of this "training" is resting, you need to give your muscle adequae time to recover, or you will burn out in a hurry, this is only the beginning of your contest prep, it's going to get harder, you got to ake sure your body is ready for it.

I am taking Cardio Breeze in the am..but I am not taking it religiously every day....only if I feel like I need it...avg. like 3xweek
Multi vitamin, calcium, vitamin c, and flax seed...and now ZMA....NOTHING else...my body fat is too high at this point to be messing with anything else....My trainer is saying that it is due to the diet and the lack of fat in the diet itself....(my training partner is having the same problems with sleeping)...Im not sure if I believe that the diet is "shocking" my body to the point of where I wake up so much throughout the night... its just to strange to me but Ive NEVER done training this extreme so I dont know. On the weekends when I do not get up early for am cardio, but instead I sleep untill I wake up on my own I sleep LIKE A ROCK,..,...during the week when I have classes and have to get up at 6am is when I have the problems.... Could it be the Cardio Breeze???

If you're taking it in the AM I would say NO. Maybe still adjusting to the changes... the lask of rest... low fat ? I think you said?

If I don't have an adequate amount of fat in my diet, I will sleep like complete SHIT period. High carb, sugar cravings, bad cheat, night of binge drinking etc ... even simply High Protein, Mod. Carb, Low fat diet drove me nuts ... I couldn't take it. I was so cranky and miserable, just like I am on low carb diets.

Bah ~ i hope it gets better

Girl thanks so much....I thought I messed up my health or something but like you said I think I am adjusting to the changes...still....Im not having any craving really, at least not yet. And the ones that I did get so far I just didnt think about b/c I am seeing results and thats the only thing that is keeping me in line. I cant wait to post the before/after pix

With being so busy during the week, your classes, never doing "training this extreme" ... you are adjusting .... or trying to adjust. You seem spunky and full of energy, which is all fine & dandy , BUT that wirey approach can also keep your mind 100 miles an hour, even though your sore, tired and body has HAD it.

I know yoga was suggest and more relaxing things, but the other girls will tell ya, you need that rest day and this is only getting started for you sweetie! I'll happily tape your BF's mouth shut for ya and not in the kinky way either. He needs to give you foot rubs, run hot baths, and massage your achy muscles

YOU know you're body, it's tell you to chill a lil bit

Two weeks from now, still having some issues, then maybe it's something else ... but don't freak or stress too much... increase coritsol = fat storage, no-no
