My Journey to the Pro stage....after the fourth baby

The greatest tragedy of man is never realizing or reaching his full potential~"Dont TALK about it,BE about it!"











WELCOME to my blogspot! I am utilizing this space as a journal of sorts,where my workouts as well as random thoughts are posted....



Now that I have a few good Pro shows under my belt,I am in "off season" until 2013,due to the VERY unexpected news of my 4th child!! In the meantime, I will be keeping a journal of how a pro athlete reclaims her pre-baby body and juggles fitness and family. I am planning a Pro show just a few months after the baby arrives, as well as gearing up to hit new PR's for 5k's,half and full marathons! My ultimate goal is to simply get better with age....(and hopefully snag an IFBB pro card and break 19 min in a 5k in the process)so come follow me on my crazy journey to the Pro-Stage and Beyond... after a fourth child!!Feel free to leave any comments or advice!

plyos and measurements

got in 30 minutes AM cardio.
M slept all night for mommy again!
i was really NOT in the mood to go to the gym...
wasn't feeling that great and ALMOST didn't go...
but i told myself that i would go to the gym and if i still felt blah,then i would just leave.
glad i went,cause it is plyo day ans this is the day i have 2 other ppl to share in the fun with.
misery really loves company!!
same routine as last time
cycle 1
box jumps
blurpies
ski lunge
lateral sprints
rest 1 minute on to
cycle 2:
lateral box jumps
mountain climbers
high knees
gazelle bounds
rest 1 minute on to
cycle 3
jump lunge
sumo squat with explosive jump
jump tucks
jump rope
rest 1 minute
REPEAT3x

it wasn't the funnest time ever,and the first cycle i was feeling blah,but then started to feel better.
after plyos got in
3x15 good mornings
3x30 leg press single leg jump presses with 1 minute mini squat hold
3x18 hip abd
3x18 hip add
and ended with 15 minutes on elliptical~2 miles.
i was wiped out but still feel like pansy for skipping out on cardio.
will make up for it tomorrow though.
speed work planned.
not sure if i will do 8x400 repeats or just a HIIT.....

OH also i did measurements this morning.
i wasn't planning on posting them,but figured i need to as a reminder to me,when i look back and see where i was 5 months after a baby.....
and of course to see how far i have to go in order to reach my goal #'s.

so here it is-(eeep!)
my current numbers and my goal numbers...
current:
waist (at navel) 22.5"
hips (widest part of rear) 31"
thighs (6 inches above knee) 15.5"
bicep-10"

GOAL:
in order to fit back into my teeny tiny suit this is where i was at my first pro show
waist-20.3"
hips-29.4"
bicep-9"
thigh-14"

so i have 8 inches to lose.
game on.

  1. Oh my gosh, you are tiny!! I didn't know it was possible to have a 20 in waist, that's the size of my thighs.
    I'd be ecstatic if I had your current measurements.

  4. Omg...do you really have a 22.5" waist?! That's incredible.

  5. 8 overall inches, is nothing! You will get that in no time. For someone who didnt feel that great, you still got in a killa workout!

  6. Wow, you ARE tiny and you just had a baby! My goal is a 24 inch waist, I don't think I"ll ever get there! AND you have a ton of time to get down 8 inches. Once you start prep that will happen easily!

    Great workout too, tired me out just reading it =)
