Today was a pretty good day for a Monday. I was a little tired waking up this morning but once I got up I was good. My cat didn’t even want to wake up this morning. He just looked at me like, “I’m not gettin up off this couch,” and closed his eyes! Guess he is still recovering from his weekend of bird watching. 🙂 This morning’s workout went well. This is what I did:
Chest and Back
- Barbell Bench Press
- Dumbell Alternate Bench Press

I also met with a trainer who is a figure competitor and had a great conversation. She gave me some insight into the different classes and we discussed how she can help me. I will give her my food diary from the last couple of weeks and a detailed description of my workouts…amount of weight lifted, amount of cardio, how many reps and the specific exercises. She will also help with posing, walking and other competition activities. Can’t wait!
Next on my list…buy my competition shoes. 🙂
