Week 3 of My First Bikini Competition Prep

          I am approaching what I believe to be the most challenging time of the year to stay focused and disciplined. Yummy Christmas cookies, glasses of wine, and pasta are not in the cards for me this year. We had our Christmas Party last night which was so much fun! I reserved my cheat meal for the party but it didn't go quite as planned. It is only ONE cheat meal, I skipped my 4th meal (cottage cheese and brown rice) and ate dinner with not enough protein and way too many carbs and finished with more goodies.  Now, one meal is meant to be consumed in ONE sitting not over the course of 4 hours. Do not let the one meal fool you into thinking you can pig out all night long.  Eat your cheat meal over the course of a normal meal (like dinner) not spread out throughout the course of 3-4 hours. So I made a few mistakes but you learn from them and you don't do it again.

         To be quite honest I feel like I am really beginning to understand my mantra, "Eat to Live Not Live to Eat". In the past when eating breakfast I would be thinking about lunch and at lunch I would think about dinner. My train of thought has changed and now  I eat because I have to and if I want to reach my goal.  I look at food as a tool that will help ignite my workouts, sculpt my body, and support a body that functions at an optimal level.

Alright, so check out my measurements and workouts below:
