FAT 2 FIT Journey to the NPC

[royalglamgirl]

Hello everyone, welcome to my journey. A little about me, I am a full time student with a full time job. I started my official journey on January 26, 2009 at 230 lbs. I lost my initial weight by just becoming active. I have been training with weights for roughly 9 months now, and I'm totally in love. I am now 205-207 lbs. I have decided to train for a figure competition and in the process get the body of my dreams. The figure competition I am aiming for is on may 22, 2010 in Hayward, Ca. I love the way my body is shaped and the way I carry my weight however everything needs to be on a much smaller scale healthfully and asthetically. In this journal I will be noting what I eat and my training scedule.

A typical training week for me is:
Monday
3:30 pm- 1 1/2 hour - plyo full body workout

Tuesday
6:00am- 1 hr spin class
10:30pm- 1 1/2 hour- Back/Bi's/Abs

Wednesday
3:30pm- cardio 45min HIIT 1min walk/1min sprint ; 2min walk/2min jog
10:30pm- 1 1/2 hour- Chest/Tri's/Abs

Thursday
6:00am- 1hr spin class
4:00pm- Shoulders and Legs, Legs and more Legs!!! MY FAVE

Friday
9:30am- 1 hour Cardio Kick Box
10:30am- 1 hour spin class

Saturday/ Sunday- REST, REST, REST

Sometimes there may be changes in the schedule of things however this is typically how i'm able to squeeze everything in.

Nutritionwize, I have adopted a nutrition plan gifted to me by QT which consists of :

Meal 1:
½ oatmeal (uncooked .5 cup)
½ berries
1 cup egg whites

Meal 2:
6 o.z. tilapia/sole/orange roughy
1 cup baked yams
1 cup broccoli

Meal 3:
Same as 2

Meal 4 (assuming this is post workout)
Isopure Protein drink

Meal 5
6 o.z. salmon
1 cup broccoli or green beans

Meal 6:
2 o.z. almonds

So this will be the plan for the next month or so. I will be posting regularly and keeping you gals and guys posted on my progress. Including weight, measurements and photos. Remember I'm a work in progress and my goal is to get a little closer to "perfect" everyday.

Okay so this is my first true entry. When I read the menu given to my by QT i thought okay i can do this; its mostly all the foods that I enjoy. I had never made sweet potatoes before though. I purchased a microwave steam bag, cut the yam up sprayed them with can't believe it's not butter, seasoned them and put them in the bag. I microwaved them for 11 minutes and they were very tender and not mushy. The only thing is it's ALOT of food. After breakfast I felt as if I could go the whole day with nothing else. I drank a can of sugar free red bull this moring because i did not feel perky or peppy at all. It helped. I'm not working out until 10pm tonight so I'll get back to ya.

Blog Day#2

Hey ya'll,
I am at school studying right now and thought I'd drop by. I woke at 430am (the butt crack of dawn) to make it to my spin class at 6am (1hr from house). The worst part of it all was getting there, I was a zombie. Once I got going on the bike I came alive. I have tons of energy now. I had my oatmeal, berries and egg whites on my way to school. I didn't have much time to grab my fish, yams and broccoli so i bagged up some nuts and grabbed an apple and my protein drink. This should last me until I get home in an hour or two. I'm glad I haven't freaked out and said well forget it. I'm a drama queen. It feels good to give back to your body!!!

Still have weights lata (YEA BACK/ABS/BIS) not my best bodyparts but we'll work on it. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Smooches

Very pretty lady you are the nuts are a good choice if they are not roasted or dry roasted is not bad either. Best choice for apples is granny smith. If you find yourself in a rush a lot, I suggest 1 day a week cooking everything up. I typically do that on Sundays. Also another great thing to buy and have stashed for emergency is something like this Clover Leaf Rip 'n Ready Pouch <SUP>TM</SUP> Tuna - Albacore.

Don't forget to add a good multivitamin in with your breakfast. Find a time released one. Twin Lab, Mega Woman, Super Pack etc.
Kick ass on the journal. I'm inspired!
