Risotto Dinner

Salmon & Green Risotto w/Panko

...it's all a learning process

I've been feeling VERY bloated over the past 2-3 weeks and I think I have figured out the cause. Lactaid. I have to take lactaid pills before eating dairy. I will be staying away from milk products until competition now. I am sad that I have to give up fat free nancy's yogurt and cottage cheese, but I'll be finding other protein sources to replace them.

My abs are not coming through and it is because of bloating...I am not going to let dairy keep me from placing 1st!

Note to self:

Purchase Low Fat Muscle Milk Lactose Free Whey Protein, most whey contains lactose

Busy Sunday!

Started the day with a 45min cardio session. Lou and I drove to Salem for his first meet of the season. He ran the 1500 t0day. Great job Lou! Headed to gym, had a good shoulder workout, then worked on posing/routine.

Reached my goal for the week! Put together about 1/2 of my routine and feeling good about it.

My goal for this coming week is putting the rest of my routine together, and of course eating and training smart every day. I am 3 weeks out!
