LOL ! That's the correct definition. I just don't think I've ever been downloaded before :)

IB -- thx -- I'm working hard to achieve something that is "competable", i.e. make a good showing at a larger BB show. And then the bigger challenge of maintaining my 'ideal' body. It didn't work the last time I achieved the competitoin look --- life got in the way. Never again!

Congrats on hitting the perfect body once & then having the perfect family! The body can always be achieved, the family is something unique and special!

Awwww this is total sig material :)

It is always good to let someone know you appreciate her progress :) Don't stop, you're NOT a stalker :kiss:
 
So true buns!

Seriously luciano -- it is really nice to get your response & support! Especially through the less than glamourous part of dieting when the pix aren't all that impressive.

K to you for not being a stalker!

3/3/05

YAY! Another carb up day! And not a moment too soon. I haven't gotten pissy from low carbing but I've definitely gotten flaky in the brain. Also LOTs of trips to the bathroom today -- burning carbs! Every meal today -- within an hour of eating I was starving again. And patiently waiting to get out of work, for tomorrow we go to OH! Damn I need to get away from ATL for a few days.

Meal 1: 8:00 am
1 egg white + 2 whole egg
5 oz turkey patty
1/2 grapefruit.

Meal 2: 12:00 pm
2 scoops protein mix

Meal 3: 3:00 pm
5 oz chicken
1 c spinach salad
1 tbsp vinegar & oil

Meal 4: 5:30 pm
2 scoops protein mix

Meal 5: 9:30 pm
- 1 c brown rice
- 8 oz sweet potato
- 1 med banana
- 1 tbsp butter
+ spenda & cinnamon

Cals: 1723 Fat: 53g (28%) Carb: 153g (33%) Prot: 164g 39%)

Training: hams & calves
6 min cardio warmup
- GMs: bar/20 70/10 x 3 50/10 -- these dropped from last week because my back was hurting a little.
- SLDLs: bar/15 90/10 110/10 x 2 130/8 -- still sore back
- Smith SLDLs: 90/10 110/10 x 3 -- these generally sucked because the equipment didn't work well
-seated leg curl + alt leg curls (superset): 105/10 x2 + 30/10 115/10 + 30/10 x 2
- hypers: 25 x 3
- seated calf press: 400/25 x 3
- seated calf raise: 90/25 x 3

Tired as shit after this & totally flaky.... ah carb up!
 
Thx! The challenge for the weekend is how to eat. I've got 10 packs of tuna, some almonds, some forks and a few protein bars as emergency food. Of course lots of protein mix & a shaker. I may bring my Brita water filter pitcher too cuz hotel water usually doesn't taste very good w/ protein mix.
 
Yay! Made it to Columbus. So far I've carried a container of pre-blended protein drink & just shoveled down a bag of tuna. YUM!!!! (eh..)

And goddammit... its snowing.

Well off to see who I can find & what strange sights there are to be seen. Camera in hand & will hopefully download tonite :)

3/4/05

Well, I went to the women's figure / fitness / BB show. Traded up my 2 tickets for 1 closer to the stage & $20. But not close enough for my little cam to get good pix. I took a couple when Arnold came out, but haven't looked at them yet. Probably fuzzy.

Meal 1 - 9 am
- 1/2 grapefruit
- 1 egg + 3 whites
- 1.3 c of Soy Crumbles (ran out of all the other stuff & what went bad in the freezer)

Meal 2 - 12 noon
- 2 scoops protein mix

Meal 3 - 2:30 pm
- bag o' tuna

Meal 4 - 6 pm
- 2 scoops protein mix

"Snack" (soooo freekin hungry while at the show) -- 8:30 pm
- Pure Protein bar (didn't have the guts to open a bag of tuna while in the audience)

Meal 5 - 10 pm
- bag o' tuna
- 1 oz almonds

Cal: 1526 Fat: 55g (33%) Carb: 61 g (15%) Prot: 196g (52%)
(had to edit -- counted 2.5 servings in a bag of tuna as 1 serving... came out damn low on cals... I knew I was starvign yesterday, but 1200 cals was scary..)

Training: none

Well I traded out my tickets to the men's show tonite to go have sushi instead. I got more pictures of big beefy people tho!

And the kewlest part of the day was Quadsweep doing a really accurate bodyfat test. I'm now at 15.43%. This indicates the diet is still working and also tells me that my previous tests are fairly accurate and I can probably rely on measurements I get from the same girl at my gym going forward!

Wohoo!

And now.... SUSHI!

Yep - Good times... My Salmon is still sitting in my stomach. It was good, but not used to that stuff. :) - Damn, my feet hurt...one more day of this stuff then home!!!! Its been fun.
 
LOL! You should be sleeping young lady!


I should too. Damn I'm beat. Haven't heard back from the partiers yet, so we'll see... I may just sleep & get to the expo early tomorrow ...

I'lll let you know tomorrow!

Thx for the sushi dinner ! and the ecstasy of the rice carbs :)
 
I don't know if there is a point to posting my food today. The diet was relatively tight but I didnt' drink enough water, I picked at maybe a total of 1 complete protein bar w/ the various samples I picked up around the Expo today, I had a couple extra eggs this morning because I knew my meals were gonna be sporadic. I'll list the foods but I may or may not do the cals & breakdown. And its 2 am & I can't sleep. And I really need sleep.

Meal 1: 9 am -- continental breakfast buffet at the hotel -- actually pretty good!)
- 2 boiled eggs, only ate the whites
- 4 egg patties (I assume these were 1 whole egg each)
- 2 sausage patties. (damn good if I do say so, probably nice & fatty..)
- 1/2 c fruit
- LOTS of coffee

Meal 2: 12 noon
- 2 scoops Protein mix

Meal 3: 2:30 pm --raving starving & hadn't touched any protein bar samples yet
- 1 tuna pouch (i left the empty pouch at one of the vendor stalls -- I sort of laughed because we all know how great "old tuna" smells...)

Meal 4: 5-5:30 pm
- about 1 total proteign bar in small samples over the course of this time after standing line between 4 & 5 to get an autograph from Ronnie C.

Meal 5: 7 pm
- SUSHI -- 8 pieces tuna sashimi, 1 tuna roll, 1 rock n roll (salmon, cucumber, avocado w/ rice)
- 2 glasses shiraz (... first booze since the New Year's debacle with 8 shots of jaeger & 8 beers to match.. I only remember the first 4...)

Meal 6: 1 am -- woke up starvin marvin
- a pouch tuna -- my hands are so bloated from the rice loading & the salt from the soy sauce that I couldn't open the muthafeckin pouch for nearly 10 minutes....

And waaaay low on water today and pounded a bunch of "shredder drinks" to stay awake this afternoon. Woooonderful. Now I"m awake again.....
 
Sassy -- sounds like you're having fun!! I didn't realize when this event was -- next year, I may have to drive out -- sounds like a blast!! More pix!! LOL

9 weeks??

I would hope so....1% per week.......



hmmm.......you know I'll be there
 
LOL!

I hear there's gonna be a killer after-party too...!

I'll put people up at my house too! But I aint' cookin' fer all yuZ. I don't even want to think about what I'll be eating that week.... I think the week before involves 3 days of codfish. (I've been to the orange roughie show and it isn't something I'd buy a ticket to see again ...)

Target date: May 14.
 
Wow sassy GOOD LUCK!!!! I have school until the end of may otherwise I would love to come!! I can't wait to see your workout and your progress... I am so jealous I have a trainer like that back home and have yet to connect with anyone down here.. Congrats to you!!!
 
I will note that figure competition is quite an investment. Not just in time & dedication. I may need to hold a bake sale.
 
I'm sure with your dedication it will be totally worth the money!!

Question about your "new" diet - are you eating the same ratios of carbs/fats/protein every day, or are you going to continue to cycle carbs?

Donations to bunny@paypal... Ill make sure she gets da Ca$h :verygood:
 
The total protein for the day is supposed to come out to my lean body mass, 140 lb, or 140 g for the day, divided into 4 protein meals = 32 (actually 35 g) of protein in each meal.

Any comments welcome. I"m still absorbing this approach and trying to match it up w/ what I've done in the past, maybe not explicitly this way, but along these lines.

I'm really eager to hear about the "overtraining" you'll be doing with your legs. I have lots of muscle but would like more definition. I just changed today to higher reps with lighter weights in the hopes that will help. My legs were killing me at the end!

he said you are 11% BF??

or is he saying that you have to lose 11%?

Also.....I would think bringing UP your legs to match your natl competitor type upper body would be a target goal?
 
Have to lose that much.

3/12/05:
Wt: 159 lb
Calipers: 8 + 3 + 1 + 10 + 13 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 15 = 69/159 * 0.27 = 11.7%
-- Lean body mass: (100-11.7)% * 159 lb = 140.4 lb
-- Unwanted fat: 11.7% * 159 lb = 18.6 lb

3/16/05
Wt: 159 lb
Calipers: 6 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 13 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 7 = 50/159 * 0.27 = 8.49%
-- Lean mass: (100-8.49)% * 159 lb = 145.65 lb
-- Unwanted fat: 8.49% * 159 lb = 13.35 lb

==> Lost 5 lbs of unwanted fat, gained 5 lbs of lean mass

Diet:
- 4 protein meals @ 145/4 = 32 g protein (1 g protein / 1 lb lean mass across 4 meals)
- + ~ 16 g protein from egg whites pre-AM cardio.
- 2 carb meals of 145/2 = 93 g each (1 g carb / 1 lb lean mass)

(So actually no change in diet right now)
=====
So for today --

Comments:
I'm tired. Work has been very stressful and I'm not getting enough sleep. Cardio 2x / day but not intense, but my legs are always tired. I haven't really gotten bitchy from the lower carbs but I've been flaky in the head -- mostly from lack of sleep. And I notice that I'm getting flat. From the carbing.

Pre cardio: 6:30 am
3 egg whites

Meal 1: 8 am
3 egg whites
5 oz turkey patty
1 c broccoli

Meal 2: 11 am
5 oz sweet potato

Meal 3: 2 pm

Meal 4: 4:30 pm
5 oz sweet potato

Meal 5: 6:30 pm
5 oz chicken
1 c green beans

Meal 6: 9 pm
1 can tuna
2 c spinach
1 tbsp vinegar & oil

Training:
AM cardio: 30 min precor, low-med speed
PM: Shoulders:
- Stairs: 15/up+down x 10
- "genies": 8x8
- Superset: Plate loaded shrugs, but pull behind w/ elbows + front/back EZ bar military press: 10/8 + 30/8+8 20/8 + 30/8+8 x 7

Click to expand...

"Unwanted fat" = 11%

Size-wise -- figure is a whole other ball of wax from bb. I need to shrink. And my upper body is significantly thicker than my lower body, and the 36D's arne't helping that look. So its all about shaping it to the "cute figure girl" look. :eek2:

Good luck to you, Sassy! I think you'll do great in figure. You've probably already said this, but what contest are you planning to do and when?
 
so.....if Im looking at this correctly...you gained 5 pounds of lean mass AND lost 5 pounds of fat in 4 days??


Somethin aint right.....
 
Unfortunately I'm just copying from my notebook that just started this week and I"m not sure of the exact dates. Some of this start up stuff I"m not going to take to literally because the dates are not necessarily accurate, and also I am still learnign the context of some of what he's writing down.

I believe essentially this says I've lost bodyfat but my muscle mass remains.

sass - this is just my opinion........

are you sure you want to overtrain your legs at this point??

...that is going to make your upper/lower differential even more pronounced, don't you think?
 
Sorry shadow -- i'm dealing w/ a guy who is telling me to do things that i may not question at the time or i'm in the middle of the set. It is goign to take some time to see what the "weekly split" looks like etc etc etc. That's all I can say right now. Its not that he isn't explaining it or refusing to answer, but when you start w/ a new trainer especially for a specific contest prep, it just takes time to get the whole program.

And to a degree I just have to see how this all goes. That's why I"m posting it as I go.

I know.....

Thats why Im asking you if it makes sense......

If I waa prepping for a show and my trainer told me that I needed to increase my quad size and reduce my upper body...what would your reaction be??
 
oh and sass.....


you know I love ya.........Im just concerned.......
 
I"m new to figure -- so there's more to it than just make this bigger, make this smaller. There's some reshaping & stuff going on and I've never done that. I've just gone for "make it bigger" and "lose fat".

Its a whole new adventure!
 
Great Sassy.. damn looks like your doing awesome. I'm still tweaking here and there, something I am realizing don't work for me also. Thank goodness I am still 16 weeks out.
 
This is one of the issues w/ dealing w/ a trainer. I've tried to assess this w/ previous trainers but somehow even the best efforts don't work out quite like you expected. For those who do it well, this is what they do for a living and what they do works. In this case I trained w/ the guy for a week, spent a lot of time talking to him, getting his comments on what I would need to do, not just for figure, but also what I would get out of bodybuilding. He also says he is training people that sometimes don't necessarily place well in a show, but THEIR goal was to have the best body of their life and THAT is what they achieved. Goals above & beyond that can be achieved at the next show, w/ more planning, etc. Also from the trainer side, I see huge dedication, constant support, and constant, reliable interest. And also in the posing process - how he is training these newbies to pose, giving them real valuable insight into "how" to do a show, and keeping the focus on what THEIR goals are.

I would kill to have this kind of support right now... To have someone push me beyond my threshold. To have someone I could sit with on a weekly basis that would critique my progress, training and diet.

Sure we have a few trainers at the gym I attend... would I trust any of them with my training, and or diet.. eh.. NOPE! The only one that I would trust isn't a trainer right now and I don't see him much.

I can feel when I am stalling and I know when my body's hit a plateau... but do I know what to look for as for as symmetry? Definition? Overall shape I need to be to compete Figure? Not a fecking clue... This will prolly put me at a huge disadvantage... I even considered doing a smaller show instead of this huge one and saving the bigger show for next year. This show I am doing for me.. If I leave with a trophy.. hell I'll be ecstatic.. but If I don't then it won't bother me one bit. I want to be in the best shape of my life... If I'm too hard or too soft for the judges liking .. eh, oh well.. but i've made a promise to myself that I won't set one foot on stage if I don't give 100% to my training and diet.. If there is one doubt in my mind that I could look better.

OUCH! GOT ME!

I stopped dieting really heavy because I just felt my upper body going to crap. Still eating clean but added in more carb up days. Holding alot of water and well yep fat. I'm 16 weeks out on Friday so I figured I'd recharge and start fresh then. Since I have noticed despite losing a few lbs that my upper body is coming along.

The mirror hasn't been my friend lately .... LOL. Gosh I'd hate to see what the camera does to me :worried: .

Gonna give this new cutting a week or so and see where it takes me and take a few good shots. ;)



LOL.. and yes Shadow left a shoe print on my left glute.... OUCH
 
You don't need to worry too much about how you are at 16 weeks out, but come 12 weeks you need to start locking in seriously. My point w/ the pix is that because you hit the point where you no longer can "build" because you are cutting your carbs, calories, etc. you actually need to start relying more on how you look than actual numbers of bodyfat, weight, etc. Its more, where & how you hold your water, rounding out certain areas so your poses look good, etc. etc. And a lot of that you can only get from looking at yourself.

I think I focused to much on diet to far out. I feel fuller now not as flat but of course the fluid is a problem. Carbs alittle higher than they were before. Added in Brown rice to the diet which I wasn't having a few weeks ago.

So I'm gonna kill it for a few weeks and see where it gets me. Also the cardio was dropped completely. that starts back up soon ;)



Miss24k........... OUCH! But damn I love the whip :evil: hee hee
 
Diet is good to watch, but your body is changing and you need to keep it changing so for ex you don't start leaning out too soon. I've only done prep on a 16 week schedule and always coming down from "fat", so I couldn't speak to maintaining a truly good "off season" weight. But it sounds like the little carb up will do you good!
 
3/17/05 - Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Comments:
Last nite I went to bed a bit earlier (not enough tho..) and got up about 30 min later than needed. Not as tired today and much less stressed at work. Tomorrow I have an early day at work & leave at 5 so I need to get to bed earlier tonite.

Practiced posing tonite. Comments were:
- Back is way too big for figure
- tone down bis & tris
- shape waist
- my butt is flat & square from too many yrs doing heavy leg press
- calves are great
- love the delts but need to shape them

So, just as a sanity check, I asked is this doable. He says he would've told me by now if it wasn't.

Also right now my waist looks sort of flabby right now, but I guess that's the fat going away. So now I get to sleep in a neoprene waist wrap w/ Preperation H on & probably yohimburn. Also do cardio in that in the morning and train in it at nite & nite cardio. I"m gonna smell like Prep H for the next 2 months! Awesome! Can I throw in some Bengay??

I just got done grilling some steak, some turkey patties, some salmon burgers and some chicken. I ate the salmon burgers, but they were pretty small. I'm going for the steak! God that fat smells sooo good! And I think my potatoes were too small yesterday due to miss calculation of how much I needed -- so I jacked those up a little to what they are supposed to be (1/2 of 145). That probably helped a lot w/ feeling tired & flaky.

wraping yourself with prep-H... Question I do this before a show to get the last bit of water out of the skin... Why do it now? I don't understand... does he think he helps to target a fat loss in a certain area? With my experience with it... It's great for the night before the show you look really tight in the morning but by the end of the day you are back to normal... Ask him or explain if you know.... Please thanks
 
Actually every trainer I've ever worked with says to do this. The reason -- primarily to tighten the skin. In this case I've got some significant shrinking to do and I've been up in weight for most of the last 5 yrs, so as I "deflate" in bodyfat I'm going to get "loose skin". The prep H & the wrap are just to help w/ tighten the skin.
 
flat & square or not it looks good , yes u could make it more cheeky :)
but ur waiste and hips is what i like the most at u , its ur strong point and gives u feminity , coz usualy female bbs are narrow, and str8 , have not enough of that sirene shape geting closer to a male model.
Arms and legs r super .

25 min treadmill slow-med speed
 
The time periods sound like alot, but we are not talking hi-intensity or even HIIT here. I had an easy conversation w/ a guy at the gym last nite for actually 35 min instead of 25 just ambling along on the treadmill -- speed = 3, incline = 8. And in the morning I'm doing my Precor at a 12-14 angle and about 130 steps/min, resistance at 5. To kick it I usually keep the pace closer to 142, HIIT intensity rate around 160.
 
Im curious...how many cals are you burning per daily cardio session?
 
youa re eating 1400-1500 and burining 550 pn cardio plus training cals then?
