Good morning! I'm drinking my water and will be heading down to do cardio on the stepper this morning. Gotta work that butt! Lol!

It's been a busy time since starting the job, so I just wanted to drop in and say hi and let y'all know that I'll get to the message board in the next couple of days.

Training is going well. I had a rest day yesterday, but I worked out all weekend and had plenty of energy on Monday, which is actually unusual, especially considering all the carbs I had all day were 1/3 cup of oats and 1/2 cup of raspberries. The rest of the food was egg whites, steak, protein powder, and veggies. Today's pretty much the same, except exchange the steak with chicken and include an extra meal of carbs in the form of three ounces of yam. But it's working! I'm not doing as much cardio as I was when preparing for the shoots, which is nice, and I'm still leaning out a bit. I want to drop a little more and maintain for the off season so that I can easily get lean for Junior USA's and Junior Nationals.

I've gotta go or I'll be late for work. Enjoy your day!
