I'm buying them by the case now. The key lime and coconut almond ones are for my sweet tooth. They really are awesome!

Going to be a crazy weekend...may not get to train until Monday.

Anyways, here's where I'm at pre cycle:

Height: 5'3
Weight: 128
Body fat 19.8%
Chest: 33.5
Biceps (midpoint): 11.5
Waist: 27.5
Abs: 28.25 (super bloaty)
Hips (fullest part of glutes): 37.25
Thigh (midpoint): 19.5
Calf: 14.25

Goal is 12% body fat by my next show. Should put me at about 115lbs. Everything needs to tighten up. I have 10 weeks so if I come down about 1.5lbs a week I should be right where I want to be by show day. Calories are around 1500 and I don't think I'll need to carb cycle this time around. I only need to burn around 4000 calories from exercise a week as long as I stay on track with my diet. Should be a lot easier this time around.

Nice, what are your weekend plans? I know mine is training on Saturday and resting up the rest of the weekend.

Visiting the fam in Chicago. Little bro graduating college tomorrow.

 

[kristaleigh]

Just yoga today. Driving to Chicago now. Gonna be a late night

 

[kristaleigh]

Long weird weekend. Training starts tomorrow

 

[kristaleigh]

Kickbox with lots of plyo thrown in. Good 45 min of HIIT.

Working on cleaning up my diet this week so I'm not wasting my supps. Next show is July 13 so I have plenty of time. Trying a bunch of new stuff so I'm excited to see what changes I can make.

Working on better stress management so I can sleep at night and I think that will really help my weight start coming down again.

Looking at the 2 shows I've done this year as practice for the rest of the season. I want to come in shredded this next show so I'm really trying to focus in on my goals and push myself. Goal is max of 12% body fat for this next show, thinking 110-115 will be good for my weight. I have no clue how I'll look that lean so I'm pretty excited. My abs start to show around 18% so 12% should be pretty good.

Thanks Agent Yes for all your help with planning my next few weeks out! I'm excited to see how it all works!

Been a busy few days. Wednesday ended up napping every chance I got with a sinus headache from hell. Thursday was spin and sculpt class, today was just yoga. Things are calming down finally and life should be back to normal soon.

 

[kristaleigh]

Back pumps from hell. Upping my potassium.

Tried to hit legs but it was brutal.
Squats 3x10: 65, 85, 85
Stiff deads 3x10 @ 65
Leg press 3x10 @80
Stiletto press 3x10 @ 80

Back was bugging me so I went light and then stretched. Hate days like this

[kristaleigh]

Wednesday was a rest day
Yesterday was spin and body sculpt
Today was yoga/Pilates

Weight is down, starting to look and feel a lot tighter, especially in my arms. My abs are showing more, which I haven't had at 129lbs ever. Don't feel like I'm holding as much water as I was earlier this week. I have almost no appetite but I'm not complaining about that. Hopefully will get to lift a few days this weekend but we shall see.

 

[kristaleigh]

Didn't do much over the weekend. Low back bugging me still but I'm pretty sure it's not the var. More likely it's overuse and just soreness. Assuming its not back pumps, I'm not having any bad sides from the var. Feeling a lot tighter.

 

[kristaleigh]

Kickboxing and a little extra cardio tonight. Feeling pretty good finally. Excited to finally get to lift tomorrow
