FINISH IT!! ~S6day33

Do you FINISH?  Would you consider yourself a finisher?  I would have to say that I AM~ most of the time… When I don’t finish something it’s because my heart is not in the project or I let my negative thoughts take over.  NOT FINISHING can become a bad habit…just like anything else.  I challenge you to challenge yourself and focus on FINISHING tasks and projects that you embark upon!  It will stretch you, make you grow, give you a sense of accomplishment,  and make you PROUD!!  You CAN do it!  Now is the time to FINISH!

I have Finishing on my mind because we are at the Finish of our 6 week Sizzlin’ in 6 contest….Just Just 10 Days left!!!….a little over a week left to get results that will show in my pictures and in my stats!  These next few days are also the FINISH of my Boosting Phase, YAY!! I plan to start buffing a bit early this month, my hormones are going to cooperate weather they want to or not!! I will finish the contest strong!!

Some of the things I am going to be staunch about during the finish of this contest are:

• FASTED cardio!  i have not done much of this the past 2 years….just because I am in  a nice “comfort zone” with my body.  Well This buffing phase I don’t care about being comfortable…I want to see some fat loss!
• Low-Low Carb diet…I am going to shoot for no more than 2 servings of Carbs a day.  The only way I am able to accomplish this is to go in with a NO CARB mindset.  I do that because carbs always “slip” in~ they are SNEAKY!
• Smaller portion sizes- I typically have portions that are 25-30grams in size.  I’ll be shooting for 20g portions these next 2 weeks.
• EXTRA Cardio- 20 mins EXTRA- 3 times a week and ONE LONG cardio day- 45-60 min session.

All of that combined with what i normally do WILL eliminate some fat off this body and I’ll be more ripped than I’ve been in quite a while!! I am ready to FINISH STRONG!!

Here are my workouts from the past 2 days:
