Competition Prep Update - MONTH 3!
As you know, I am back on track with my competition prep and the middle of this month marked month 3. I am down two pounds from last month, although my body fat percentage went up 1%. I can see in my own progress pictures that I am bloated despite being smaller. Here are the progress sets, side by side - even though I am not pleased.

| Month 3 |
I personally feel like I looked much better at the end of September than I do now, and I know that is my own fault. I have been indulging, off of my keto nutrition plan, drinking alcohol, and eating fast food and candy. I have not been eating over maintenance calories - still in a deficit, but it is plain to see that the quality of your calories ABSOLUTELY makes a difference.
You guys might also notice that my month 3 pics are marked Core de Force and that is because I have started a new program!
Core de Force Diary - Day 3!
I am 3 days into the new MMA style workout program called Core de Force. I did MMA Speed on Monday, Dynamic Strength yesterday, and today I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I am so incredibly sore - more so than with any other fitness program I have done. I feel like my back is completely shredded and my arms hurt even to pull up my pants or put on deodorant. It has been an interesting morning here, trying to get dressed! ;)
I did a quick video of the knee section from MMA Speed yesterday and while I really hate video'ing myself - it is absolutely helping me with my form. I am learning where and how to place my feet for hits and kicks and learning to focus on form rather than speed.
I am so excited to do MMA Speed again today, even though I am soooooo sore. I think that's a good sign! I am confident I will finish and I am pushing for big goals this round. I would like to see 165 lbs on the scale, which is a number I have not seen since just a few weeks before my wedding day over 6 years ago. I am also focusing on fat loss and making sure that my nutrition aligns with my goals so that I get that body fat percentage down while maintaining my lean muscle.
Lastly, I started my coach only test group as well as a private group for my own clients - and everyone is kicking butt!! I can only hope to keep up with these amazing men and women! They are already seeing results with just a few days (or weeks for those who started early) into the program. If anyone is looking for something that makes you feel powerful and badass, and you want to do it at home? Message me, we can talk about it and get you connected to my group. I can not wait to show you all what I will look like at my 30 day photos - right around my birthday!!
Stay tuned!!
