Thanks w8m8!
And thank you guys for the input. Jenny's right about the shorts. But believe it or not, I do not have a posing suit in my possession rigt now. The ones for this year are on order.
As for the diet, salt intake, etc. you can give me whatever ideas you want, it's always interesting to hear everyone's perspective, and we all know there are a million ways to do things. But make no mistake, I am running everything by Carla and basically doing whatever she tells me.
Yesterday was a really bad day. It was one of those days when everything just catches up with me and almost takes me down. LOL
My back is super tweeked in several places and is killing me. My lower back hurts from the PL meet still, and somehow I have managed to completely kink it in between my shoulder blades now too. It's giving me sleeping problems now. I called my chiro, but his office is totally closed for vacation until Monday. On top of it, my legs are SO sore from that workout the other day... my quads and hips are killing me. So pretty much everything from the neck down hurt yesterday.
I had a meeting to drive to (2 hours each way which was almost unbearable, and I have no AC in my car either), so I got up early to do cardio and then drove to the meeting. I was so uncomfortable and so tired that I had to pull over twice and lay in the back of the car for a little bit. I completely sweated out my clothes before I even got to the meeting LOL.
I then left the meeting early because I felt horrible, stopped off and somehow banged out another 40 mins of cardio before almost passing out, had an emergency protein shake at the gym, barely made it home, and passed out for two hours on my couch. I almost never sleep during the day or take naps, so you know I'm in bad shape when I do.
No weight training last night... I have no idea how I even managed to get my cardio in because it was one of the worst days I've had yet. I'm more rested today and my leg soreness is getting better, but my back is in bad shape. Got 50 mins of cardio done this morning, and I weighed 127.8 pounds. Today will be a better day... it has to be!! I am also ordering up a tub of glutamine and BCAAs and some ZMA today... I've been slack about the supplements that I should be taking.
