August so far, Mary my friend and new teammate and diet

So, my August so far....well, my July somewhat too, was def. a food holiday.....hhhmmmm....June i guess too...! Now, back to focusing on diet....my training has been fantastic. I am using a new supplement calling EVP ( by Evogen), and Cell K.E.M which Jeni has put me on. The one is a pre pump and def. made already an impact on the amount of weights I lift. The cell cem is an after wkt drink and repairs and recovers my muscles. I was super excited when my shipment had "finally" arrived from the US. I am one of these people, what smells good, sells it to me...and I swear the post wkt drink smelled fantastic, the taste "suppose" to be fruit punch...GREAT....love the taste of fruit punch...well, me excited as I was, mixing it into my water straight after my leg training.......and..."WHO THE HELL" printed the fruit punch taste sign on it???? OMG....it shoot straight tears into my eyes....BUCKLEY'S cough syrup is absolutely delicious compare to this...but what do they always say? TASTE AWEFUL but works....hahaha....
My diet so far....oh well....sunday-friday 95% clean....not sure how many times I drove to Bulk Barn to buy some new all natural peanut butter, cause I throw it out every other day and tell myself- thats it-...no more PB.....and than 48hrs later back at the store getting another jug full of it just to toss it into the garbage again.....i actually have been that desperate that I went back, searching threw my garbage after throwing it, cause my cravings were that bad....LORD....that calls for help.....BIG time...and very very QUICK! ( you might NOT believe me...but I didn't take it back out...but thats only cause there was a bunch of smeary banana peel on it...THANK GOD...grouse)
I had a few night of too many gin and tonics as well as wine.....but I find it super hard to stay clean 100% during the summer! winter and x-mas time is the easiest for me to stay on track....! The idea of sitting on my deck with a bottle of chilled white wine is so tempting every single day, especially with the great summer night we have this July-August.
I cut my fruits already out of my diet. Of course with Jeni's ok. The only time I have some fruit is right after my WKT in my post shake....(usually banana, but I try to stay with a low GI fruit like blueberries). Since I learned the language my body speaks to me and the way my body responds to certain foods, I know, my sugar cravings with 2-3 servings of fruit are high.....i can't think of anything else BUT sweets in every form....my new treat-addiction is air popped popcorn sprinkled with Splenda....(ya, i know...YIKES...but there is the sugar addict in me turning desperate)
So, no more fruit.....also do I decided to cut my cheat meals out for the next 2 month. For some reason I tend to eat mostly carbs on my cheat saturday and comes night time I am absolutely starving.....on top of feeling sicker than a dog......so CUT....for a while...same with alcohol....."starting tomorrow" ( haha...I know lots of us use the term -starting tomorrow- but for me it IS tomorrow)
My new traingspartner and teammate Mary is doing great. She's such a fantastic gal to train with......strong, dedicated and my very good friend. SHe will compete for the first time 2012 in the Alberta Provincials in Fitness ( well, that's what she works for...she might switch to figure) either or, she will do great! I am so proud of her. Never did I expect her to come over for a glass of wine and telling me, just like nothing, that she decided on her way over to my house in the car , wanting to compete...WOW...YEHAW....and WOW again! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her and I train everyday together and def. incourage each other....she is a great "spotter" to me as well!
Anyways....this is it so far....i will update soon to let you guys know how my "no more cheat day" life goes.....as well as my NO MORE PB.....hahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Have a great week everybody!!!!
