Put me in, Coach!

Yesterday morning was my "Big Monday". Yes, the Monday that every dieter, weight loss wonder, "Insanity" beginner and "P90x" probationer talks about twenty Sundays in a row as they sip their "last drink" and eat their "last drunken cheeseburger" for a while, fully aware that the following weekend shenanigans will ensue and back off the wagon they will go. Yep, that was me. Sitting at my own place of employment, sipping on beachy drinks for Cinco de Mayo claiming that "tomorrow I prep to be a bikini girl!"  

Yeah okay Magen. 

That happened again the following Sunday, obviously. Drinks less beachy, but Hooters wings shortly followed and by 9:30 I was in bed wishing I'd been able to say "No!" to my best friend Jack Daniels. So at 5:30 yesterday morning, my alarm went off, as even drunk me had been able to do, and I begrudgingly made my way to CrossFit. This, however, is the part of the routine that is easy. Getting me to CrossFit, sweating the whiskey right out of my veins and feeling like a million bucks again isn't the tricky aspect of my Mondays. It's the intense list of supplements, proteins and foods (at specific times and after doing specific things) that were the cause of my mini manic Monday. 

Allow me to explain. I am now a crossfitter, but also a bikini competitor in-training.. And I have a coach. Hoping to land a sponsorship by a CrossFit/fitness apparel company by placing in my first show in August. Yes, August. So it all hit me, upon the arrival of my huge shipment of supplements and vitamins (and cute new bodybuilding.com gym bag) that my nights of getting bloated for a drink with the girls and not being on my A game at CrossFit, or now my body building work outs - just wasn't worth it anymore. So after making it through day 1 I am now attempting to begin day 2. With my girl Kahly, for cardio session Tuesday at the local LA fitness. Here goes nothing! 

Oh! Later today I will be posting everything that's been going on for the last year plus, and you know, explaining my new bikini pro dreams! Rise and Grind fitness freaks! It's TUESDAY! Time to do work!
