Set backs are fun aren't they?? No, I'm joking. They totally suck. 7 months from today I have plans to compete in the NPC Daytona Beach Classic. 212 days. 30 weeks. It seems like so much time but no time at all.
Earlier this month I started training and working on my nutrition. But, Friday I ended up making a trip to the E.R. Diagnosis? Pneumonia, AGAIN! They put me on 2 different medications that have screwed things up a bit.
A week before my ER visit I started eating 5 small meals a day. Breakfast, a snack, lunch, dinner and another snack. One of the medications has completely messed with the timing of my meals. The other medication caused my joints to feel really loose and I cancelled a few workouts. Luckily I was only on that prescription for 5 days.
But, this is the reason I started so early. To make room for these things.
Training
- Train 5-6 days a week
- 2 days lower body
- 2 days upper body and back
- 1 day cardio and core
Nutrition
- 5 small meals
- Alternate high and low carb days {low carb = no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes}
- Portion control
- Load up on fruits and veggies
