3 Weeks to go!

Only 3 weeks left, time to get super focused and mentally prepared.  I will be sending daily pictures to my coach and he'll make macro adjustments based off of those. He is going to play around with the carbs to see what my body does best with.  He says the goal is to find the macro's that are working best and keep them basically the same and let my workouts take me to the end.  My body has adjusted really well and the "fear" is being ready too soon.

Weekly Cardio:
4- 500kcal medium intenisty
1- 250kcal low intensity
1- 300kcal high intensity

Sunday's Macros:
160g Protein
45g Carbs
28g Fat

4 Weeks to go

Only 4 weeks until I take the stage, until the last few bites make every difference. I'm excited!  Coach kept my macros the same for this week since we're still 4 weeks out, that gives time to carb load and then deplete and be right where I need to be.

Goals for the week:
Weight Days    150g    85g    35g
Cardio Days    135g    50g    30g
Refeed Day     130g    185g    5g

Cardio:
4 medium intensity 400kcal days
3 low intensity 250kcal days

Week 5

The start of week 5! So far I'm doing well, the diet seems to work for me. Friday I had to get through the work potluck temptation, I won! Last night was my first night out since on the diet, it was difficult to plan what to eat, not knowing how much would be served.  Thank goodness for very supportive friends!! :) I haven't had as much motivation in the gym though, going through the motions. Have to change that!

Below are my pictures from this morning, Sept 1. Also included are my new macro's and cardio plan.

Wk 5 Goal    Weight Days    150g    85g    35g
                      Cardio Days    135g    50g    30g
                       Refeed Day    130g    185g    25g

Cardio Plan: 4 medium intensity sessions 400kcal
                     2 low intensity sessions 250kcal

New Diet and my Awesome Posing Coach!

I hired a posing and nutrition coach!!! YEAH!! She is awesome :-) I encourage anyone and everyone near the Kansas City area to friend Jamie Keen at Laser Sharp Fitness on their facebook and check out their website at http://dev.lasersharpfitness.com/  So posing is going well but it definitely shows how much I need to work on my flexibility...who would have thought arching my back could make me so sore...hmmm...Right now my focus is getting the flow of my routine down; I have confidence I will.  I have been practicing every day!!

It has been a while since I last posted or even read blogs; I must admit, though, it is hard to see and read about all the yummy recipes when I can't eat any of those things :( I was nice to catch up this morning though; got some inspiration from a few of my favorite blogs like Bikini or Bust  :-)

If anyone has recipes that only include chicken, fish, turkey, sweet potatoes, brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, and veggies....let me know!! :) I'm about 10 weeks out, they keep saying I will be where I need to be by then; it is scary when you don't feel like you will be.....eek!!
