Back in April I competed in my first fitness competition, Fitness New England at Foxwoods Casino. The whole process was a lot of fun and was a great way to work towards achieving one of my biggest fitness goals ever! I was able to transform my body in about three months with the help of Cathy Savage...into looking like this!
Since then, I would not say that I have let myself go....But I have not been as focused as I was during my contest prep. Because I trained using a natural approach (no steroids or other crap like fat burners that would give me pulmonary hypertension...) it is unrealistic to keep my body looking as it did in the picture above.
Right now, I'm not as ripped as I was in the picture above...and I'm no where near where I was when I began my fitness journey in the picture below... Yikes the transformation was UNREAL!
I am thinking about doing another show as a way to stay on track for the rest of the summer.... There is going to be one in Boston in September...so that just might be the one that I start training for.
How does my training differ when I am getting ready for a competition?
I make sure my diet is spot on and I hit the gym hard (but nothing extreme). My darling trainer/friend/other mother has drilled it into my head that your results/body are made in the kitchen. In fact, 80% of your results are from your diet. So if you are inconsistent and not spot on with your meals...well...you are just not going to get the results you want.
Stay tuned to my blog for my next post to see how I am going to stay on track when I cant work out with my Savage Sisters at Cathy Savage Fitness in Norwood due to work obligations on the weekends.
Since this is a sneak peak...I'm not going to give it away where I am going... But I will give you a hint... I'm going to work out with these "Catz"
Be Well,
Maureen
