You'll probably want to up your calories on your diet since your going to be building muscle.

Good luck hun!

I am not bulking though, more like a recomposition. So I should eat maintenance cals and make adjustments weekly so I lose fat and gain muscle.

I need to lose about 10-12 lbs fat for the show I estimate. So if I can lose that plus gain 3-4 lbs of muscle in the next 4 months, that would be GREAT!

Right Now:
139.5
BF? 15-16%
Fat: 22 lbs
LBM: 117.5

Goal:
Weight:130-132
Fat: 10-12
LBM: 120

FYI

Jodie is sending me her kick-ass workouts tomorrow so when I get them I will redo my training split.

I won't do tons of cardio either - I will figure out the right amount as I go along.
I think the diet is ok for now, but if I am not getting results I will make adjustments.

I can't wait to try the shoulder workouts, they look killer! Lots of exercises I have never done before such as 1/4 raises and upright row push outs...this is gonna rock!

My goal is to get to 8-10% BF.
Last weekend I was prolly 15-16%
Last year at my show I was at 12-13%
Both times I was not lean enough.

That is what I will do then! I love the idea of adding up the days of eating clean Jilly! It is great to see that number keep going up, isn't it?

I also like counting down the days to my show. It makes me realize hey I only have X number of days...get moving!!!

It sounds really exciting jstar, but I doubt myself A LOT. Plus I worry about health and binging issues getting in the way.

Ncgirl, I definately think you can compete, you look about ready to already!

Viv, if you ever want to know more about these shows just let me know. I don't even have my issues 100% under control either and I have done 2 shows. It is a process and believe it or not competing has helped me get betting w/ my eating habits. slowly but surely. I don't think I could push myself hard enough if I was just doing it for myself. With a contest date in sight it really changes your perspective. Even after this past w/e I was feeling really embarrassed about coming in last 2 times in a row. I started to wonder, gee what must the other girls think of me. They must be like she is out of her mind trying to compete looking like that. Well, one girl, who has the perfect body, routine, stage presence, everything told us it took her 7 shows to get to where she is at. She didn't just come out on top from the get-go like most of us had assumed. I was a bit surprised. Then I realized that competitions are really just about proving to OURSELVES that we CAN actually achieve what we believe we cannot do. I know you probably think all these chicks are perfect and it is hard not to compare yourself to others (I had a hard time with that too at first) but it is really about so much more than that. I am in this for one person only and that is me. I have nothing to prove to anyone else.

PWO:
3 ww bread
270 51C 12P 3F


2 mini ww pitas
1 ff yogurt
