Backwards
This post is going to go backwards..Monday first..then yesterday…
Monday:
Today I woke up and wasn’t feeling hungry, so I decided to embrace some Empty stomach cardio. 30 minutes on the treadmill at my apartment at 15%-3.3mph, while reading Maneater. Love this book! Almost finished!
Afterwards, I came back to my apartment and had 1 egg with 1/2 cup of egg whites and spinach mixed in. Then headed off to do this:
Glutes/Hams:
Deadlifts-4 sets
3 supersets each of:
DB Step-Ups/Seated Ham curls
Glute Machine/Smith Machine Lunges
Smith Machine Hack Squats/Hip Abduction
Cable Donkey Kicks-2 Sets
Jumped back on the treadmill for 30 more minutes of reading/incline walking. Lately reading this book has gotten me to do more cardio than ever haha.
Okay so Sunday…..
Well, i officially have 19 days left of contest prep..and IDIOT me…BINGED. It wasn’t a binge where i was “out of control i can’t help it” it was like a conscious decision and a “ill just be extra good this week.” Looking back, that was probably a really dumb thought, but i kept watching shows that were all about “you only live once” haha so i decided that eating 1.7 trillion TJ’s Vanilla SANDWICH COOKIES, and some pop chips with laughing cow cheese would be a great idea?! really lizzy?! REALLY!! Oh, to top it off i had half a bagel with CREAM CHEESE and SALTY LOX!!!!!! and oh a bowl of icecream afterwards because i totally needed it right?!
I have gotta be kidding myself. And apparently i was, because my body was NOT happy and i spent 2 hours last night throwing it up. NOT ON PURPOSE…don’t worry. My body just REALLY didn’t like what i did to it, or maybe i ate something bad.(or maybe i ate a LOT of bad things!!)
If you get grossed out easily then cover your eyes, but….
It is amazing how long it takes for our bodies to digest some foods! That is all i will say because i know that is gross haha.
Anyways, moral of the story…don’t do what i did. Because i am a puffy mess today and although i got right back on track and feel that i can recover and still bring my A game….it was NOT a good idea. It will NOT help me and it was downright DUMB. But low carbs this week should bring me back to where I was. No more funny business!!! GRRRR!!! Oh well…it’s over and i’m not beating myself up about it. Anywayssss have a good night1
Finished today with :
1579 calories P: 160, C:140, F:45
LOL! I know what you mean about the body digesting foods…that made me laugh!
Well now that your "mini binge" is out of your system you're good to go! 19 days!!!
Whoa dude!!! I know what you mean about the body digesting foods too, but dang, I think that was a huge binge!! I betcha that is why you ended up throwing it up. It was just a wierd mix even if the amounts weren't that great. HAHA. you remind me of me. I did that with granola when I was about 5 weeks out I think. I didn't throw it up, but I wanted to!! LMAO!!
bleck! Amazing how your body reacted to that food that you USED to eat! Crazy that we fill our body with all that toxic crap day after day thinking nothing is wrong huh? Ok, I'm so guilty of it and probably won't stop but ugh!
I hope you feel better! You have 19 days to be on track, at least you didn't do this with only 2 days left!
girl,on one hand i would say."what were you thinking" but i think your body said it for you–LOL!!! on the other hand however,what did not get tossed back out and did land in your system,your body probably actually needed the extra fats and calories…..you just gotta stay on course!the hardest part for yo will be peak week,when you will really really really want to binge,but know that you can absolutly NOT do it….oh yeah,and right after the show you will want to binge too…..ONE DAY only!then go back on track and gradually add the foods you started to cut during contest prep-trust me on this one-you do not want to gain a gazillion poounds right back,bc you will if you dont do a reverese nutrition plan…anyways-keep it on track chica,18 more days…you got this!!!

I had a moment like that a week and a half before my wedding. I think it was a culmination of the stress and thinkging "well better get it out of my system while I still have time to debloat". Crazy how the binge monster rationalizes things for me.
Look at it this way…the extra crabs have probably given you the engergy you need to kill it in the gym all week!! Stay strong chica!
