Ok so I decided to finally get my butt in gear and start a journal here as well.
I am currently 9weeks and 6 days away from my first bodybuilding competition on April 3rd.
stats-
-19yrs old
-5'8
-weight-will have to do that today. lol
-bf% - no idea. Ive been told 10-11, even though I think thats absurd but darned if I know how to guesstimate.
-Ill take measurments later today and post them as well.
Im following a variation of carb cycling, not exactly to TP's place but very alike.. I have a very experienced and knowledgable person helping me complelty prepare for this, posing, diet, training and the most imporatant factor.. motivation! diet will remain like this until 6 weeks out.
YAY! So glad you have a journal here now! Just curious, do you think its necessary yo measure veggies?? I never do. Oh, and your carbs are way low on a high carb day-is that simply cause you are competiting? OH. P.S. Good luck too-even though you are already on a roll
Jen...your high carb day is a normal carb day for me. No wonder your already so lean at 9 weeks. That'll give you room to play with when it comes to getting a lil closer. I think your on track! Keep it up!
Psst.....don't stress out over the legs! They will be there when ya nned them.
Jill, to be honest those are eyeball measurments on the veggies. haha I just eat as many to be full. I really dont count them to exacts at this point. and yes for a high carb day my carbs are a bit lower then TP's plan but this is what I have been given for the comp diet from my coach.. as he sees me pretty much on a daily basis or so and sees how I respond.
gwcaton, your too sweet. inspiration? gosh darn.. your silly! thanks though.
JBL, well this is actaully on a bit of a lower side of carbs for me, when I was bulking I was getting in around 220-230g carbs/day to gain.
hmm I took a pic of my legs at the begining of Januray. I should post that up.. they have a ways to go for sure! but they are coming to say the least. thanks again for the reassurance!

Your doing bbing, so you should be fine!
How much cardio are you doing? I take it that your doing a natural show?
Post the legs! We wanna see!
well the first show that I am doing is not a natural show sadly. I would have rather done that, a lil more fair on my part eh. but thats ok, we'll have to see what Ive got in me. its not always size that wins but presence... *crossing fingers*
cardio right now is 2-3 days a week. soon to bump it up.. its going to be one of my ways to tweak, so we're going to add more soon. did I mention I hate cardio? lol
Ill post my leggies up in my gallery in a few! just for you. haha be easy on them tho. :o

You say anything else negative about them...we will all take a trip up to Canada to kick your butt! And...don't argue with your elders! LOL
ohh lordie are you sure you seen my leg pic? ekkkk !! its............ oh ok. Ill hush. Im just going to take your word on it.. you better be right! er else Im coming to Texas sooner then late spring(coming to visit my sis).
thanks tho hun, its good to have another opinon, I cant judge things myself sometimes.. Im my worst critic.
brrr I just got back from the gym and its FREEZING!!!! -30F!!
Definitely a journal I MUST follow from a person that knows her body well. I'm interested in seeing the beginnning of this to the day of your competition!
I love the diet layout in particular! The quantities of your portions should be a great learning lesson to those who never seen it such as the 10 egg whites/1 yolk serving. No one ever believes me but all I have to do is show them your picture on IM.com

Friend's at the gym and some clients of my own! But your body is a great inspiration to any females that I train. Ooohh good! I have a new female that will be training with me {when I'm not with Debi) and I can show her your pics on IM.com. Great reminder, thank you! I had 8 egg whites/1 yolk and it was hard to eat them all and you had 11.
I leave you with these words in this post.
"Inspiration... Ab-spiration.... your body-your abs! What most wish for!"
Ty Jenny! I can use all those cheerleaders. just no funky cheers. lol
David.. that was a very nice ending there!
Im a tad embarresed. glad that I could serve of some motivation for others.. altho I think your still crazy. hehe
*note: I feel incredibly weak on this move now. when I was bulking I was pressing the 45's no prob. its reallyyy frustrates me to see strength go down on that. argh. I know that its likely for my strength to be lagging a bit while seriouisly cutting but its hard on the head!!
well. took some measurments as I said I would today.
Id like to find the ones that I took just after bulking. be interesting to compare.
weight-139lbs!!! I think the scale was messed up, cant be. well I shouldnt say cant its just that I havent been this low in quite sometime. then again Im at my ultimate time leasnest as well. ahh whatever. best to judge on how Im looking I suppose.
Yay AJ!! I'm so glad you are doing a journal. You will be getting lots of well deserved cheering from me.
I snuck a peak at your legs picture - how could you even think for a second that they don't look amazing?? You are too much. We all wish we had your legs! and abs too btw,
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is just a habit.
