Hello guys.............i haven’t posted in the last few days....i have been very busy and tired (almost brain death) jajajaj The diet is getting harder and harder to complete.......the chicken, the fish, the oatmeal...everything is driving me crazy.......but I need to keep going............ Also I have been thinking a lot about the competition (May 26) and I have decided that i will do the best I can to compete......at first I was not convinced but I have been talking to some friends and they have persuaded me to participate.....they said that I have nothing to loose........ and that I have been doing a big sacrifice in the last 15 weeks and that it is worth it to try and get the experience. However it is my first time and I am doing this all by my self which is something that worries me!!!. I wish I had the chance to get a trainer to help me out but here it is not an option. Most trainers are self taught on old school type of training (High volume, high frequency training) they also train people that use juice. (Not exactly what would wok for me)
On the other hand.... I am my own worst critic and for me I am not close to get the condition that I would like to display.......some days I feel flat and very small and I know that I will have to loose some muscle if I want to look ripped on stage......this worries me because I still got to loose the water too..........Also there are many questions and doubts that are running constantly thru my mind that makes me hesitate specially during my low carb-days LOL!
These are a few things that I have been thinking in the last 2 days.....and I took my decision. So in order to improve my condition I will follow a cardio program for the next 5 weeks (I already started this week) as you know I have been experimenting but I don’t have time to do it any more......so I decided to follow this program no matter what happen. The program will consist in doing “Slow Intensity cardio” 6-7 days a week (treadmill speed 3 mph) ......also I will increase the time every week (5 minutes more every day).
Compete at this point in my life it is a real challenge....i am working from 6.30am to 5.30pm. (6 days per week) and then I got to workout and do cardio, prepare my meals, practice posing on Sundays...........So there is not enough time to rest and sleep!!! Well life is a challenge and every time you accomplish something difficult the reward is great......i may not win in this competition, I may not look the way I want....but If I compete I will already have won!!! For me this is the first competition of many to come....and this is the first step in the ladder!!! Usually the first step is the most difficult to make....but we got to do it if we want to keep advancing and progressing.
Thanks for reading guys......in the attachment you will find the cardio program that I will use. If you have any comments that will point me in the right direction please let me know
Regards,
Francisco
