The lake must have just sucked out all of the water in me because I am so thirsty today!! I crashed out last night at about 9:30 and woke up at 4:30 this morning. I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided to do my weight training before boxing today. I actually really enjoyed it. It made the workout today seem to go by faster and I had more energy at boxing. I did chest today, then boxing, and then did an hour on the elliptical. Dare I say, I actually had fun on the elliptical today. Why you ask?? I was listening to Van Halen, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. I was lip synching to all the songs and doing intervals at all the choruses. Definitely something I will do again because it was really enjoyable.

My neck is killing me today. I should start calling it whiplash Wednesdays because I ALWAYS end up crashing at least once or twice and doing a face plant that leaves me with a headache and whiplash. Never fails. But I have a great time so it is worth it!!! I think next week we are going to camp out Wednesday night at the lake and do it all over again Thursday. Sounds good to me!!! The rest of today will be spent at the office. I don’t mind because I am pretty tired and since it is now in the 100’s here, being outside isn’t exactly enjoyable unless your in the pool. Now I am jealous of all of you people in cooler climates!! I love Arizona though, all 120 degree summers of it.

Here’s my day so far:

I am dead tired and going to go pass out now. Long day at the lake…but so much fun!! I am going to try to post a video tomorrow but not sure if I know how to do that ha!

Here is my overview for the day….very low in cals but I am never hungry at the lake and now im just too tired and want to pass out. Had some good runs and getting better at jumping…can almost clear the wake….but had a few hard falls(like always) so I just need to go crash. This probably makes no sense but I will post in the morning.

WAIT almost forgot….i did 3 chin ups and a pull up today at the lake on the boat!!! I was hanging on the bar and im like okay ill try it….did 3 chin ups! Then I thought there is no way I can do a pull up though….and I tried…and did it. I am so excited!!! JJJ

Ok goodnight haha

I might as well start calling it that considering this is like the 5^th Wednesday in a row that I am going. I love being on the lake there is nothing more peaceful!!

Just cooked up my turkey for the week. Ahh how I have missed real meat. I have just been too lazy to cook it lol I am also getting an addiction to asparagus. I cook the whole bag and eat it all at once. 50 calories for the whole bag…um yeah this is the greatest addiction I have ever had. Im not complaining!!

So I have had a weird sensation in my calf near the top left(almost by the back of my knee) for quite a while now when I do a) hamstring curls or b) sprints. It feels like an electric shock and it ONLY happens doing those two activities..and other than that I have NO pain, nothing at all. I have heard it could be either muscle tear, muscle inflammation or pinched nerve(from people at the gym, no professionals.) anyone else ever experienced this??? It has been like this for about 8 or so months but lately has gotten worse….any suggestions or advice or info? I am wondering if I should go to the doctor..i feel like doctors just say “rest it.” And well…that’s not gona happen J Unless its ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Have a good day lovies!

Getting ready to go to class…but here is my Tuesday overview. High on the carbs/fruit, but sometimes I just need my extra fruit J

Ahh so nice to be almost done with school. All I have left to do is finish a project tonight in my ProTools class. Should be easy and then I am officially DONE with school. Had a great workout this morning. (See chart below.)

I was really tired when I woke up today, but I pushed through and am glad I did. Going to read through some blogs and then head into work! Will update more later when I have something more entertaining to talk about. J

Hello all!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mother’s out there! To be able to focus on weight loss, competition prep, working out, and just being healthy while having children as well BLOWS me away. Taking care of yourself is one thing, but doing it while taking care of others is a totally different animal. You are all amazing!

I feel like i haven’t posted in forever! Life in the world of Lizzy has been good. My little brother is doing so well. I haven’t seen him this happy, upbeat, wanting to be with the family, and so positive in years. It literally makes me cry when I think about it because I feel like I have my little brother back. I didn’t even realize that this side of him still existed. Sad, I know, but drugs will do that to ya. Hoping and praying that he can stay this one. I am there for him every step of the way and he knows that, so I hope that he will rely on me if he ever needs the help, which I’m sure he will. This is an uphill battle for him still.

Diet/Exercise:
I have been sticking to my diet(i shouldn’t even call it that, this is a way of life for me now and it feels like a way of life…not like a diet.) and exercising the same. Lately I am noticing my body leaning out a lot. I have been getting alot of comments that I am getting “smaller and more ripped.” YESSS that is what i like to hear!!! 🙂 I hate, however, the comments like “you look so skinny!” Skinny?! I don’t want to be skinny!! I want to be STRONG and fit. Not too strong, not bulky, but I work out hard enough at least tell me I look toned not skinny!! Haha…anyways enough of the mini rant.

Today we are going to my grandmother’s to celebrate mother’s day. Her side of the family has been so-so the last few months, and we haven’t really seen each other lately so it will be nice. (My mom has a broken arm, my grandma had knee surgery.)

Breakfast today was a bowl of oats with banana and almond butter. I will not be joining in on the bagel fun at my grandma’s, but I may enjoy a bowl of real cereal later today, as I have stuck 100% clean for almost 3 weeks straight now and a bowl of cereal might hit the spot. We will see though, because I have been telling myself that I can have that bowl of cereal for the last 3 days and I haven’t even wanted it, so Who know!!

Hope everyone else is doing well and have a great day!

Sorry for the lack of posting!! It’s finals week, so I’ve been studying(a.k.a going to the lake, working out, and avoiding school at all costs.) But things have been going great! My brother got home yesterday and is back at work with my dad and seems to be doing pretty well. We just have to keep a good eye on him.

Reese was asking me about my carb intake. Generally, I try to stay around 200, but that rarely happens. My body responds best to a high protein, moderate carb, low fat diet. I usually end up eating about 180 g protein, 250g carbs, and 25 g. fat. I also cycle carbs though, so some days i will have 250 and other days more like 100. It all evens out and I am still losing fat. I know that I am way too low with the fats and should swap some of the carb calories with fat calories but its hard for me to do. It is something I have been working on. When I start my lean-down diet (7 weeks out from my show) My carb intake will be much different. For now though, this is what works.

Today after boxing, i was dragging ass into the weight room. I was trying to talk myself out of doing weight training. (“If i skip today i can just finish my weight split saturday…..maybe i will just do biceps today….blah blah blah”) Finally I looked in the mirror and said to myself STOP BEING A LITTLE BITCH AND DO IT. I ended up getting a GREAT shoulder/bicep workout. Absolutely smashed my muscles! It was great. Afterwards I got in my hour of cardio on the treadmill and I feel awesome. A few finals today, one more tomorrow and I’M DONE!!!!

Can’t wait!

So remember how I used to be addicted to apples? Eating like 10 a day? Well I’m past that….and now its strawberrys!!! Those 4 pound boxes barely last me two days!!! Ahh I’m going to turn into a strawberryyyy
