I’m not posting this week’s menu up because I’m eating mainly leftovers. There’s a combination of organic chicken, Atlantic salmon, snapper, prawns and a couple of lamb cutlets that I’ll cook up for dinners this week. I’ll be eating something different every night this week which will be something different in it’s own right for me. I’m using what I have left in the fridge, freezer and pantry ready for my new nutrition plan. Out with the old and in with the new. I haven’t quite got the right balance or the right timings nailed yet so I’ve asked for a second opinion from a fellow competitor I trust and respect, Michelle Nazaroff. Her approach too food is much more holistic than the average bodybuilder and much more to my liking. It also coincides nicely with my organic diet and eating of whole foods. More and more I’m getting away from eating processed foods and although I don’t mind eating it from time to time my system on the other hand has other ideas about it. Once I hear back from her this week I’m make all the necessary changes and you’ll see a new and improved nutrition plan posted up next week.
On a separate note, I’m in awe of the package she’s presented on stage this year. I’ve also got this picture on my iMac at home and on my iPhone. Michelle is truly inspirational and a great ambassador for our sport of natural bodybuilding. You can clearly see in the image above how incredible an athlete she is who’s overcome some very big challenges in life to say the least. If you don’t know her story then I suggest you check out her website.
Another thing I’ve learned more about this week is aspartame (Code 951). For the record I’m against consuming any product that contains this ingredient and unfortunately for my husband he’s had to say a final goodbye to his good friend coke zero. It’s a huge subject of controversy but I know that for us it’s not what we want in our diets in any way shape or form. I look at it this way, asbestos never used to be treated or handled the way it is now and people are dying from it’s exposure. You can never know for sure about anything these days because with time and technology anything’s possible.
Happy Monday!
