Starting my "on season" prep......

Well.....I've been given the go and started my "lean eating" for on season prep of my show.  My trainer had me start a week early, due to the fact that last prep I did well the last week and didn't have to adjust my cardio or carbs.  She wants me to end the same way, as she saw how happy I was.  I am very pleased with my starting weight of 144 and ready to start leaning out.  These last few days have been tiring, but I always know it's my body adjusting to the lean eating.  It's always a little challenging to juggle my every day schedule of working, being mom, wife, and this lifestyle, but I somehow seem to get it down.  Again, thank goodness I have my hubby's support.  Also, happy I kept my cardio to 5-6 days during "off season" so there really isn't any increase or adjustment in my cardio as of yet for "on season".  The scale has already moved so that is a great start and keeps me motivated.   Very thankful for a 3 day weekend with nothing really big planned, so I can catch up on my sleep.  Sleep is very important during this time and also very important for life in general.  I LOVE sleep!  I love every part of this journey of prepping for a show, and just living this fit lifestyle.  Okay, there are some parts I could do without....but I do love it, or I wouldn't be returning for more.  This journal is short and sweet, (oh how I could love something sweet right now) but I just wanted to document my beginning of how I am feeling and my weight.   Quote of the week: "Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it" ~ Julia Child.
