The Other Plan... With A Side Of "Blueberry Chocolate Almond Ice Cream"
So I'm kind of feeling lost in terms of my fitness goals and how to fit them into my life for the next four months (actually for the next 8 months). The problem is I feel somewhat like a Gym Gypsy. I hope that this "fitness plan" helps keep me stay focused and efficient in the gym no matter which gym I'm training in. After I leave Sicily in April I will be living in Utah for 3 months until Mike returns from his 3 month deployment and we head to Vegas (in August we should be transitioning to our life in Vegas). During this time back in the states I plan on enjoying my time with my parents, my mother in law, and my friends. I hope to keep my training motivation high and accomplish my fitness goals in this three months. As for my fitness goals, I'm going to put more muscle onto my lower body, mainly my quads. I feel my upper body is good in terms of size and definition but I think my legs, especially my quad sweep, is lacking the size to be symmetrical with my upper body. I plan on doing lots of box squats, leg presses, and narrow stance hack squats. I also hope to stay fairly lean in this off-season so that when September rolls around I can do a competition (or maybe a competition in October). I feel like I shouldn't choose a Bodybuilding Show until we have settled in a house. Doing so otherwise will set me up for failure because of all the other commitments and issues that come when transitioning into a new home. To keep me accountable, I'm posting my most recent pictures as well as my leg measurements. Right thigh at largest measurement, 20.25 inches. Right thigh at mid measurement, 19 inches.
And now, onto a delicious dessert! I call it Blueberry Chocolate Almond Ice Cream. 1 cup frozen blueberries (they must be frozen), 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 cap full of Cocoa Roasted Almonds (I used Emeralds). Put into a blender and turn on the low setting. Depending on your blender, you will have to stop the machine and scrape down the sides. I have a VitaMix so I only had to do this once. But a lower grade blender you may have to stop a couple more times. No extra sugar necessary, the blueberries add sweetness and those cocoa roasted almonds are a great crunch! Delicious!
