I have been delinquent in my blog updates.  No excuses, just crazy busy with work and working out.

I developed airplane ear after a business trip to Arizona last week and my ears have been driving me nuts.  I think it’s starting to get better.  I was still able to work out, but it did affect the strength of my workouts for about 2 days cuz I was getting vertigo.  I’m going to my acupuncturist this week. She’s amazing and I’m sure she can help.

I also got stuck at an airport with my plane delayed for 6 hours.  It was night so there were no food stations open at the airport.  All I had with me was 2 protein bars and a liter of water.  I though I was going to starve to death.  They almost cancelled the flight and I would’ve had to either find a hotel or stay the night at the airport but we finally made it out that night and I got home after midnight, starving and very, very tired.  Lesson learned:  Always keep extra food / bars /shakes in my purse when travelling.

My off season program is going well.  In fact, it’s going great!  I’ve put on a few pounds of muscle while keeping my 6 pack so I’m happy with that and will continue with what’s working.  I added a post workout zero sugar carb supplement. It’s Vitargo S2 by Genr8.  Between that and the Evogen, my muscles are full and growing and yet I’m staying lean, which is how I like it since I hate cardio and want to do as little as possible.  I’ve gained 3.5 inches overall in the last month with the majority in my back and quads.

I’m still doing a 5 day split and I’m working back two days a week and hammys two day per week.  Those are my focal points for now.  I still haven’t decided if I’m going to do any shows this fall/winter or just wait til 2010.  Finances are a tad tight right now so the decision may be made for me!

I’ve been Twittering (you can follow me @6PakGirl) and through that met someone who has a fitness business and blog.  She asked to interview me and will be posting my interview to her blog next week. I was also asked to do a health & fitness Internet radio show so that’ll happen at the end of July.  How fun is that?! 

So, because Saturday was the 4^th of July, I gave myself a little break from my nutrition plan and splurged by drinking a little white wine.  I didn’t cheat food-wise, though.  The wine was enough of a splurge for me.

Can't wait til tomorrow's workout!
