Casandra's road to victory!!!!!!!

Ok Folks,
so ive been mia for a bit but Im back to let you know how things are going. So I am now 9 weeks and a day away from Nationals. So far my diet, yeah about that. Just kidding. I have certainly cleaned up my diet and have been trying to stick to it as closely as possible. This coming week I will be sticking to it strictly and to the T. Luckily for me I don't do the whole no carbs thing
So today I have had 8 oz egg whites, half cup oatmeal and a 1/4 cup of blueberries.
next is 4 oz of chkn and a half cup of brown rice. (and i just got a new grill so the chkn is yum!)
but first Im going to the gym to hit my back dirty style!!!
Back was my weak point last season and though it has been slow growing, it is growing indeed. My frot pose is considerably better and I am quite happy with the changes.
The only drwback I have had is that from working my back so much I am also working my arms which continue to grow. I never do biceps!! I measured my arms yesterday and they were 13" around!!!!! What the?!!!
lol
So Im basically on my own for this one, but I am sure I will receive the help of some friends along the way.
Anybody wanna buy me a new suit?
Well stick around, I will let you know how back went!
xoxo

So I didn't have time to get back on here last night as I was training clients till ( pm. After that, supermarket, grill and sleep.
As for mny back workout, it went pretty well.
I was able to do 7 pull ups all by myself unassisted. I know, thats not much but I started with 2 about 3 months ago, so it is at least progress.

Pull-ups 3 sets 7reps, 6 reps and 4 reps.

Overhand barbell row
4 sets
12 x 95, 10 x 115, 10 x 135, 8 x 165

Single-arm dumbell rows
4 sets
12 x 45, 10x 50, 8 x 55, 6 x 65

wide grip pull-downs
12 x 75, 12 x 95, 10 x 95

finally I used one of the row machines by atanding outside of the machine and pulling downward which works the upper lats.

3 sets

15 x 45, 15 x 65, 12 x 65

I then did 45 minutes of cardio split up between the stairmaster and the treadmil.
After my wrkt I had 1 1/2 scoops of Isopure protein and 1 scoop of waxy maize.

I almost had a perfect day yesterday except for missing one late afternoon meal.

I feel tired today and feel as if I haven't had sufficient sleep in the past couple of days, but on the up-side I feel leaner today. I think I was holding some water. Now the strange thing is that I can see myself getting leaner i.e. my abs are becoming visible and my waist looks small (this is probably the best look for me) yet my weight is pretty high! It had been 132 a couple of days ago when it is usually around 126! today it was still 130.5 this morning. Not sure why my weight is up yet I look leaner. hmmm... Its gotta be water, but I have no clue where it is.

Today I had my breakfast and had to substitute meal 2 for another breakfast as I was out of chicken. (of course) I am taking the day off the weights but will be hitting cardio for 45 minutes. Ill let you know what happens after that.
