Katie Bergstrom NPC Las Vegas USA's 2010 Week 12

WHOA 12 weeks out...seems so close!!!!

This last week was really good. I thought with my calories being a lot lower than I am use to it would be tough, but I really enjoyed it. I love the feeling of getting leaner and tighter!! I got a little hungry mid week and a few cravings kicked in (of course I would never give in!!) but I just pushed through. Drinking lots of water and chewing sugar free gum is a lifesaver! I ended up drinking about 2 gallons each day to help with the hunger pangs.The flab-u-less also is helping suppress my appetite, when I feel the hunger coming on I take two flab-u-less and I am good to go!

My workouts have also been really good!! Even though I am on lower carbs, I have had enough energy and strength to get through my workouts just fine. My cardio increased to 35mins instead of 30mins..wow what a difference that extra 5 minutes makes..seems like that extra 5 minutes is an extra 15 :).

I left for Boise on Friday for the Bodybuilding.com expo. So all night Thursday I was cooking and packing my food. It's hard to travel when I am pre contest...just because I have to pack ALL my food!! The expo was amazing!! I met Ava Cowan, who is my idol!! A few other figure pros were there, fitness model Jamie Eason, and many other fitness professionals. Talk about MOTIVATION!!! I keep getting more and more excited for USA's.

Since I was out of town I didn't meet my trainer to get my body fat tested, so next week we will have an update.
