NPC Stewart Fitness prep: 6 weeks out
We are just shy of 6 weeks until I take to the stage again. Wow! I’m excited to see what happens when we dial this body in even more.
I continue to work on my conditioning. I don’t necessarily need to lose weight per se. Will I get smaller? Most likely because the goal is to get tighter and reduce body fat for August 5.
Weights at 6 weeks out: I hit them three times a week with my coach and three times a week on my own. I give my body one rest day from weights. Shoulders, abs and glutes continue to be key areas and will remain that way for the rest of the season.
Creativity is a part of the game right now. My proteins are typically lean ground turkey, egg whites and white fish. I am taking a mini break from chicken this week. We’ll see what happens next week.
I am meal prepping for a few friends too. They pretty much eat what I am eating except for the fact that I offer them salmon sometimes. Salmon is not in my diet at all. I’m sticking to white fish and other leaner meats at the moment.
My new favorite dish is a spicy ground turkey and green beans dish. I love that I have found ways to add flavor with the help of seasonings. I will share it later this week as well as some of the spices and condiments that are making this prep doable. Tasty food is necessary. I do believe that food is fuel, but you have to enjoy the taste even if you are scarfing it down at Mach 2 speed.
What personal goals are you working toward?
WOW! I follow you on Instagram but had no idea what the full picture of your training looks like. This is amazing. I am inspired to not show in a competition but to take a little more ownership of what I am putting into my body for fuel. I need a NutriBullet too!
Oh thanks. My transformation started several years ago and after several ups and downs have to come to realize that you can enjoy your food. But sometimes you have to remember that food is fuel and you have to take care of it like a high performance vehicle.
