2016 Bodybuilding Competition!!!!

So, last August, I competed in my very first INFB Bodybuilding competition where I took 2nd place. It was an awesome experience and I learned a lot. However, after the competition, instead of maintaining my weight and getting prepared for another competition, I went back to very old habits and a year later, I gained 20lbs!!! (I know WTH) Then, I lost some of it, then gained it back, then lost it again, had surgery where they removed 5 tumors from my stomach and now I'm back at it!!  One thing I've learned from my past is the first step to getting back on track and knowing what you did wrong.

Here's what I've done wrong this past year:

  • Eating poorly
  • Not doing a lot of fat burn cardio
  • Not getting enough sleep
  • Increased stress
  • Snacking on chocolate at night (Eating poorly)
  • Did I mention eating POORLY!!!!!
So as you can see, I pretty much narrowed down my issue to eating poorly lol. I love food, especially the food that is bad for me lol. And I have a really bad habit of eating sweets at night before I go to bed. It's almost an addiction for me. Plus not to mention I moved back to the states in last December and there's soooo many fast food places that weren't available in Germany that made it very easy for me to not stay focused. Lastly, it seems to be more expensive to eat healthier here. 

But, I've decided to not let those EXCUSES hinder me anymore. I decided to get my focus back, I want to compete again! I found a competition here in Savannah on March 26, 2016. As of today, I have 19 weeks to prepare for it. My goal in the next 7 weeks is to lose the additional body fat I have gained since coming back stateside. My goal is to increase my water intake, decrease my sugar intake and increase my cardio activity. 

I'm really excited to prepare for this competition and I'm actually thinking of putting a team together. If you're interested please let me know!

Why I switched from Team Beachbody to Herbalife

Hey everyone, if you're on my facebook (www.facebook.com/AlcineXtreme) or on my Instagram (instagram/AlcineXtremeFitness) you may have noticed that I have recently become an Herbalife Distributor. I know many of you have known me as Team Beachbody Coach for years and are probably wondering why I switched. First, I want to say that I loved the Team Beachbody products and will still recommend them. Shakeology has  helped me to lose weight as well as their programs have helped me to stay active. However, like most I need a more customized nutrition plan to take my fitness to the next level. Like many MLM (Multi-level marketing) business out there they provide products that will help the general population. They will get you some results, but most of the time in order for you to achieve your true goals it will take a little more. For me, Team Beachbody was great in helping me lost weight and increase my endurance with the programs that I used (i.e. Hip Hop Abs, T25, P90X, Insanity)...

Personal Diet Modification Plan

Personal Diet Modification Plan So since I have had my son, I noticed what I used to to lose weight isn't working for me. I recently did a nutritional analysis on myself and I saw that I'm deficient in iron, I'm not drinking nearly enough water and I was ingesting way too many carbohydrates. I highly suggest that people track what they eat, you'd be surprised how you though a little was actually a lot and vice versa.  So to help myself remember to drink my water, I have purchased the Hydrate Spark water bottle. This water bottle not only tracks how much water I consume but also syncs to my Fitbit and it sends me reminders of when I need to drink water. You can order yours at www.hydratespark.com  http://touchyourclientsheart.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/HidrateSpark.gif To monitor my carbs, I have researched different lower carb option meal preps on Pinterest! I absolutely love Pinterest and I get a lot of my ideas for meals from there.  ...

Nutritional Requirements Across the Lifespan

Nutritional Requirements Across the Lifespan Nutrition is very important at every stage of life. From the developing fetus  to the adult, what you put in your body will either help or harm its development and progression.  Pregnancy During my pregnancy, I did my best to gain the suggested amount of weigh and to not go over. This was my first pregnancy and I wanted to make sure I did everything right. I stayed active, I only increased my caloric intake by 300 calories and I'm proud to say I only gained 26 pounds. I was pretty happy, I felt good throughout my pregnancy and I didn't have any complications during. I heard from other pregnant women that they had gained sometimes 30+,40+ even 60+ pounds during the pregnancy! I couldn't quite understand why and I really think it has to do with the mindset of "eating for two".  First off, when you first find out your pregnant, most women find out during their first trimester and the baby is about an o...
