and then there was only 3 WEEKS left :)

Hi everyone, Hope your Sunday is fabulous...

It becomes more exciting each and every week. Now only 3 weeks until I step on stage for the OCB Battle on the Beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Someone very close to me asked me this week how I was enjoying the process...

My reply; it's one of the best things I have ever done and I have never felt stronger physically but more importantly mentally!

I realized this week I know the goal of my online platform www.cindylaneross.com
I have battled Rheumatoid Arthritis since the age of 19, heavy workloads consisting of 18 hour days, sickness and death with immediate family members, hormone imbalances, and the list goes on...

I understand what life throws on us and as women sometimes it feels like an uphill battle and I didn't have kids to add on top of everything else.

I want women to understand "Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength."

Going through this journey, each day I get stronger and evolve more than the day before.

I want women to know you can be fit, strong, and healthy at any age- and that endurance and strength can even peak later in life. 

I am not saying this is easy...
Waking up daily at 3am just to fit it all in is tough some mornings, the low energy days, and pushing past what you think is your max potential... but when you do, you quickly realize just how strong you are!

This past week was refueling days until Wednesday which consisted of more carbs than my body knew what to do with. Then it was back to KETO with additional cardio.

Jelly on Plain Rice Cakes and 250grams of Egg Whites

You ever have those moments which take you back to your childhood... I don't remember a ton of mine but as soon as I tasted the jelly, I remember my grandmother making me nasty jelly sandwiches.

4 WEEKS TO GO until the OCB Battle on the Beach Bodybuilding Competition

Everyone keeps asking me if I am loving the process, am I ready for it to be over, so do I love working out this much...

Thanks, Angel Curves, still loving my waist cincher. Current measurements: 22" waist 

Let me say I absolutely LOVE the process! I needed this discipline in my life and if you knew me when I played professional tennis in my teens it would look a lot like this :)

I will continue this journey and I decided I want this in my life. I have my eyes set on a competition in June of 2019 and I will work to put muscle on so I can move up to Figure division.

I do love working out this much, am I tired... some hours of the day I get pretty sleepy but overall I am the fittest and healthiest I have ever been in my life, so YES... I love working out this much.

So we hit 4 weeks until the competition. Yesterday my posing coach drove from Panama City, Florida to meet with my coach from Mobile and we had a whole morning here working out, eating, and posing at the Orange Beach Recreation Center.

2nd week of Keto this week... was way better than last week and my body responded well with 4.5lb weight loss. I felt depleted by end of the week but today started the refueling process before the final push. Coach Christian says to enjoy it, calorie deficient after Wednesday :) I'm probably one of his only clients who complain about too many carbs :)

Today was Gluten Free Pancakes, Rice, Rice Cakes, Sweet Potatoes... most carbs of my life :)

My transformation on KETO...Have you tried KETO before, it's absolutely amazing how your body responds... 

Something exciting that happened this week, we bought a new boat. Check it out and we launched Island Time Tours & Charters as well. www.islandtimetoursandcharters.com

Being thicker last year was definitely cheaper... went into the Martin Center this week to have my face injected with Botox and fillers.

Today was my refueling day and somewhat of a REST day... I traded barbells for Yoga this morning so I can work on my stretching and loosening up my back for the poses I need to hit on stage.
Enjoyed sitting on the balcony, taking my time to get ready, enjoying the morning with my hubby!

Orange Beach Yoga

We also did date night at my favorite restaurant in Orange Beach, Cobalt's... the sunset was just WOW! #ilivewhereyouvacation

They did a superb job of dry salad and no seasoned fish so I could stay on target with my meal plan, thank guys!

Check-in this morning... 14.8% Body Fat, 126.8lbs 

Hard Work. Discipline. Consistency. = Magic Pill

          

Until next Sunday, you guys have a great week!

xoxo

This is the sleepy face of 4am on a Saturday morning :)
