Figure Competitor in Training

I think many of you know that I am training to compete in my first Figure Competition in the Spring of 2013. That is why I haven't been posting as much as usual. I have been VERY busy being a full time Mommy, training my clients, teaching my classes, and now training for a show.

I am SO excited. At the beginning of August I started working with my coach, Joe Franco. I chose Joe based on his stellar reputation and because he is also such a great person. So far the journey has been amazing. I just finished my 11th week with Joe. I am eating very well and training hard. I see quite a bit of definition already. The 'diet' is pretty easy now since I am in the 'building' phase. I am eating plenty of clean protein, carbs, and healthy fats and tracking my macros. I am allowed two 'free' meals a week, which for some reason I keep spending on frozen yogurt!!!!

I chose a show on April 27th and then another one two weeks later on May 11th. I will post more frequently, but will keep the posts shorter. You can also follow me on Facebook as Sharon Sherry Fitness or on Twitter @SherryFitness for shorter updates.

I will post some of my favorite clean means in the coming weeks as well. For now here is an easy gluten-free lunch sandwich on the go:

Food For Life Brown Rice Wrap 24g carbs
3oz low sodium turkey 20g protein
organic American cheese 3g protein

And if you want an easy lunch at Panera:

Fuji Apple Chicken Salad with NO dressing, NO pecans, and No apple chips (have them add extra greens and tomatoes. Comes to 230 calories, 8g fat, 13g carbs, 31g protein and 4g sugar

Have a wonderful weekend
