Another attempt to Blog

Well I decided to train for my first fitness competition, I have been obsessed with reading blogs, fitness articles, recipes, you name it! Not only have the lady bloggers I have found motivated me to compete and train hard but also to blog about my experience so here it goes..... :)

I started training on April 26, 2011.  Last week for my 1 month my trainer did a re-assessment to see how I was doing, I am very happy to report that I lost 5 pounds, 4% body fat, an inch in my waist AND I gained in my arms, thighs, and butt!!  It is nice to see my hard work pay off.  I have never seen a body transformation so I am not exactly sure how the progress should be four months out, but I guess good is good....right?!

I was sick over the weekend and though I felt much better today my training session was a struggle.  I felt weak and whiny today and I HATE that feeling :( My trainer kept pushing me but also understood that we all have bad days.

I felt much better after a yummy dinner though.  I have never been much of a cook, but now that I live and breathe training/dieting I have started really getting into cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, I love it!! Tonight I had a Turkey burger with avocado and tomato on top, cauliflower, and kidney bean dip. YUM! I will send a picture and recipes soon.

Train hard and live healthy,

Andrea
