Posing, Nutrition and Fitness Update!

Hey all, I thought I would give you an update.

I met with Heidi Carter, with http://newusalonandfitness.com/ she was great and was able to put together a specific plan just for me, verses purchasing her full competition package considering I don't need a trainer.  I purchased my Nutrition Plan and Posing.  It is super nice because I can just pay as I go.  I pay for a new nutrition plan as I need it and I pay per session for Posing.  My first posing session is November 16th.  I am super excited about it.  I will be doing a session this month, in December, in January, and then more frequently in February and March as needed. 

So far I officially started my new diet yesterday, it isn't too different from my eating habits that I had prior.  I am now lowering my fat intake and adding more calories.  Unfortunately I will no longer be able to eat all my egg yolks, which is quite a big deal to me, considering I love me my boiled eggs, especially the yolks!  I thought it was crazy hearing that I needed to up my calorie intake but right now I am in my bulking stage; working on adding about 1-1/2 lbs of muscle over the next 2 months.  High protein and low fat is necessary.  Weight is such a big deal to me, so it may be hard to see those numbers on the scale go up, but the image in the mirror will probably over compensate for that.

I need to gain more muscle in my Shoulders and Lats, but lean out everywhere else.  So currently I am lifting super heavy, which feels awesome because I have been sore over the last few days.  I am not doing very much cardio because I am bulking up.  The only cardio I will be doing is the Stairmaster for 10-15 minutes (doing speed intervals) after my weights, or a quick HIIT workout on the treadmill after my weights.  I don't want to risk losing muscle by hitting cardio too hard.

So far that is the update!  I will keep you posted!

Thanks for visiting.
