Abs still really out of shape. I wanted to do hip twist thrusts, but I am so not there yet so I had to decrease the intensity to get through the sets.
SLDL DB – always a toughy on the grip versus the actual legs.
I still need to research more ab variations, but I know I will forget…

Wednesday, July 4 OFF
LC – yay for a day off. This has been such a busy week at the shore and I am looking forward to coming home. I am leaving Friday. But man oh man – out every night with the group until late at night. I decided it would be best to switch things up and sleep in a bit and work out later in the day. Naps on the beach also help!

Cardio was a 30 minute walk on the beach
Step ups on 16 inch bench height
I am going to alternate the drop sets with the regular sets on my rotation for variety. Today starts the drop set rotation.
The 45° leg press was being used so I tried out the horizontal leg press machine – Icarian cable machine. It was pretty cool actually.
Home sweet home!!! So glad for the rest. I am so tired of late nights and last night was one of them. Normally the shore is just late on Friday and Saturday, but being as though this is a holiday week…everyone was down and the party was started! But I was 100% on plan and I have been since the tiny hiccup in May after Nicole’s show. I thought I would didge the dreaded July 4th cookout bullet…but nope. Not only did the two houses (our neightbors) comingle for one big party on the 30th, but they repeated it on the 4th. So I had a doube dose of torture. At least I got to see fireworks on the beach.

Everyone here is saying ho great I look and giving me mad props for being able to stay on track. They admire it and some are envious, but hey – it is all about what you want and what your goals are. I am liking the way I look right now – not too emaciated, but very fit. Too bad we can’t look like this all year around. I am having fun meeting new guys, but you know – I can’t really take what they say seriously. Post show, I will not look like this. I will be fit, but fuller and not as “ripped”. Still, I will enjoy it for now, but I learned a big lesson last time: do not get used to this as I will return to the REAL Becky once the show is over and all is said and done. Although secretly I would LOVE to do the Charm City Show in October. I jut don’t know if that dieting would affect my grades… but that is a thought for another time.
