Figure-Competitor-to-be Here!
Hello all,
I'm fairly new to this forum (been browsing for a couple of months) and I really love it! There's a wealth of knowledge here and I really like the fact that there are many successful/helpful women BB's and fitness enthusiasts here! I'm looking forward to starting a log here and would really appreciate some honest critiquing!
About me:
Age: 32
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 131lb
Bf: 17-18%.. (when last checked) you be the judge, I'll attach photos
Goal: get down to 12 - 13% by October 17th for our local Body Building and Fitness Show. I will be competing in the figure catagory.
I currently have a coach that designs my meals and workouts and she rocks!
I hit the weights 4 days a week with an Upper Body (Vertical Push/Pull) Lower Body (Hip dominant) Upper Body (Horizontal Push/Pull) Lower Body (Quad dominant) split. I do HIIT (12 sets 20sec:40sec) 2 times a week and steady state cardio for 40min 2 times a week (mountain biking).
Starting Monday, most of my carbs (except post-workout of course) will be eliminated as I'll only have 8 weeks to go until my show.
I will be incorporating carb cycling in my competition diet plan.
I'm looking foward to learning more about competition dieting (as this is my first competition) and chatting with others about the fitness lifestyle! Thanks for listening..please look for my log on Monday, I'd really appreciate any input you have to offer!!

Thanks so much for your kind words JLB, Brit and Babsie...I just checked out your photo galleries (for all of you)...WOW...very very inspiring!! Glad I came here!
Babsie, I'm competing in a local show at level 2 (Kingston's) that is sanctioned by the OPA (Ontario Physique Association) which qualifies you (at the proper level) for the Canadians (CFFB) and then on to the IFFB. I attended my first BB and Fitness show last year (Kingston's 2003) and I was HOOKED...my coach is also training for the same comp but she's entering BB this year.

Welcome to IM and good luck!
And feel free to post lots of pics!
But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.
