6 Weeks to Go

3 Months ago I decided I wanted to enter a "Bikini" Contest, not because I am vain and wanted to show off my body, not because I don't get enough attention at home, but more because I needed a new fitness goal to keep me motivated!

Why the Bikini Category you might ask, well its not as much tone and definition as Fitness or the Body Building category (Less work!), and the entry criteria is pretty open (better chances??), and to be honest it just seemed the least intimidating to start with.

I chose to enter the FCPAQ Contest on July 2nd, a recommendation from a friend! So here I am 6 weeks away from might be the beginning of a new hobby (or sad embarrassing end). Fitness has always been apart of my life, and now it is beginning to feel like it is my life.

Today's Workout, 6:15am 
Row and Thrusters (250 m and 10) 4x
Butt Blaster Machine and Squats 10 and 15 x4
(exactly like it sounds - very painful in the Butt),
More rowing  200m and 20 walking Lunges!

Food:
Protein shake after workout
Lean ground turkey, cauliflower and onions for Breaky!
Some Chicken and Spinach for lunch
A spoonful of Almond butter to sustain my sweet-tooth
Chicken and Broccoli - pre-fundraiser to avoid cheating while out

Not the hardest workout you might say ..but last night at 5:30pm I had a great workout, followed by interval running so lets just say the break/rest time was short and sweet and I was feeling it today.

Tonight I'm off to a Fundraiser, so I wont make two workouts ... But will squeeze in a good walk with my beautiful Puppy Coco.
