Competition Plan Starts

 It has been a couple years or so, I am consistent in the Gym but, I have not been tracking or eating well.
My starting position is coming from being 6 week post Nerve bock for a Sciatica/L5 bulging disk injury.  Bulging disk.   Bulging.  Man, that was  10/10 painful.

I am doing Autumn Calabrese Countdown to competition plan. Its been easy for me to do in the past (easy, not simple).  I am not taking my current weight - as being 12/26  I think we know I don't want to step on it. 

Oh - my blood work was done last week - it came back very nice. I will be getting .25 more Tirosent for my thyroid - which should help support my nerves.  AND, according to ChatGPT, I can start to slow down my ZMA and Magnesium Glycinate.    I have been taking Turmeric and will continue a couple of those a day. 

WHY Now?    Motivation after my injury. Motivation from the Christmas treats.  Motivation since I know I likely won't be traveling much.   I will be 55 and I want my jeans to fit.  I want to put some effort into myself and make myself feel PROUD of me.   Does that make sense?

WILL MY TRAINING CHANGE?  No.  I am going to continue with my LIIFT4 routine and doing my PT moves.  My main training goal is to not tweak my back.  Its starting to feel so strong - which makes it sorta hard to do the PT - but, its the PT that I KNOW is helping me stay pain free.   Play the long game girl. Play the long game.  Listen to your plan. 

WHAT ABOUT New Years Eve?    I will be mindful on NYE - as we are going out for the night. I may or may not have a perfect day that day.  However, I do believe that the C2C plan can be very adaptive and fit a lifestyle - I will simply want to arrange it to be a day that I get the 2 fruits and 2 carbs.   Other than that, I don't see NYE being an off plan day.  I don't see things as OFF plan and ON plan that way.
