Sassy ........ you look stunning.......

the changes from week to week are so GREAT! Looking so forward to being in your cheering section ;)

She's right. You look better now than the last set of pics (not that you didn't look good before :heart: ). I love the frontal pics - I like the ribs.

I think this is my favorite pic.....The bicep/shoulder/chest tie-in is amazing!! I want to look like that!!

When do you have to start tanning?

Did my first 15 min session in a booth on Sat, then yesterday & today I got an hour out on the deck. Slow but sure. I don't want to torch myself right off the bat, considering I was a MN girl last yr, I've got a great shade of fish-belly white going. I don't want to jump right into lobster-fresh-out-of-the-boiling-water look.
 
OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!!! holy cow girlie... wow... my jaw dropped what a difference a week has made.. your abs are starting to show.. absolutely freakin amazing results in only a weeks time!!! damm so jealous right now... keep up the great work.. You are going to kick some serious ass at your comp... goodness you still have so much time... woo hoo.... I think I may have to get satch to buy me a ticket to come and cheer you on....

just have to add.. I was planning on taking today off now I feel like I better get my ass in the gym and at least do some cardio....
 
Now *THAT* would rock! The more the merrier!!!!!

This was funny - I was getting antsy this afternoon waiting for my trainer to get back from out of town, waitign for the sun to hit my deck, etc. So I headed up to the Cingular store cuz I wanted to get a new cell phone. The one I wanted, a Motorola MPX220, they said had some software problems that Mot was dealing with and they were expecting to get a new stock of them in a month or two. So I left and decided to stop in at the local mall where JC Penney's was having a store closing sale. So I bought $350 worth of work clothes for about $200. I didnt' even try anything on. Just eyeballed it all. So I bought a jacket, SMALL, a clasp up top, sort of a bustier kinda thing, size 8 -- I have to watch these cuz the boobs are big, 2 skirts - SMALL, a pair of white capri pants, SIZE 4, two additional skirts SIZE 4, and 3 sweaters, SMALL. Get this -- ALL of the size 4's are almost too big. The pants are a little tight in the quads but loose in the waist. This is pretty crazy. NO MORE CLOTHES FOR SASSY until the final size is set.

Pretty crazy. I'm gonna give my trainer a big fat hug for that. And ALL you guys are gonna get a gigantic hug when you all get here!

Until then, CYBER SMOOCH FOR Y'ALL! :bigkiss:
 
I haven't seen a size four in God knows how long....

Good for you! Sassy's lookin' all killer in her new hawty skirts. You go.
 
And the really sad part is for all of this, the thing I want to do the most is go do the Southern States in FL and flip off my old trainer as I collect my overall trophy....

Some things you just really need to let go of...

Hey GURL!!! A 4? Didn't I just ask you this the other night :lmao:

That's just great news... & no more shopping right?! You're still dropping...

I Know!!! Crazy. But I couldn't pass up the big sale at Penney's & God knows I needed the clothes. At least I stayed away from the shoes!
 
This morning: 145 lb.

After 4 days of low carbing, today starts the carb-up experiment. First 5 meals will be protein + veggies + 3.5 oz regular potato. Tomorrow this is replaced w sweet potatos, Wed goes to to Cream of Rice.
 
1st day of carb-up - eh, I prefer sweet potatoes to regular potatos any day. But I shoveled 'em down. Did shoulders today and I'm gonna ache tomorrow. I'm really happy w/ the progress of my upper body. The lower is slower to come around, but we'll keep plugging away.

One change we made w/ this carb day aside from the regular potato was including a starchy carb in each of the day's first 5 meals. Usually I break out meals 2 & 4 as nothing but the starchy carb. I think I looked a lot fuller today w/ the mixed meals. We'll see how it looks tomorrow again.
 
I never complain about a carb day. The yams were better than the regular potatos tho. Today's the cream of rice. HAven't had that in a while, but we'll see. The trainer says I'm nice & full in the muscle, but still have a layer of fat to deal w/. This morning I was 144 lb. We'll see what tomorrow brings!
 
"4 lbs of unwanted fat".

From the latest caliper reading I've got some % bf that I don't remember right now. At 144 lb, that comes out to about 11.9 lb of bodyfat, 132 lb of lean muscle. Per the trainer, the body has 8 lb of fat it "has" to have (internal bodyfat) and whatever else needs to come off to go on stage. Sot there's the 4 (3.9) lb.

Sassy...those numbers

12 pounds of fat
132 pounds of lean mass

12 divided by 144


..means you are 8.3% BF right now......

I know for a fact that I'm not 8.3% ... sorry I just haven't had the time to ask more details about how to correlate what he's measuring vs the whole bf% thing.
 
I loved the carb-ups. Definitely prefer yams & cream of rice to regular potatos. Weight stayed pretty stable at 144-145 lbs. I took some pix but not of each day's different carb up. Generally my upper body was very full & solid. It blows my mind how lean my back & chest look.

This morning I looked sorta flat I thought and started 2 days low carb. Only thing I notice is just that I've very thirsty. Otherwise energy is good and just my usual boredom at work...

Try this again. Yes. By your reckoning I am 8.3%. But the relevant point is that I have 12 lbs of unwanted fat on my body that needs to be gone by May 14.
 
1st day on low carb cycle again. The food was fine - only get hungry when its time to eat. However if I wait too long, God help those around me. Only issue was getting dry. I was thirsty even after drinking water.

Training. Holy Quads Batman.

im so lost then.......

if you currently have 12 pounds of fat on you..and you weigh 144...then you are 8%.


Unless he is saying that you have 12 pounds of fat to lose plus the 8 pounds of essential fat

Didnt see this earlier


that is totally understandable......get him to give you a straight BF percentage
 
Sassy69 said:
If you ask him he will say, and I quote "11.9 lb unwanted fat, 132 lb of lean muscle mass".



interesting......


Who was doing your calipering earlier?

Earlier when? Jan - Feb? I showed a girl at my other gym how to do it and then Quadsweep did it at the Arnold and the numbers were consistent, so the girl at the gym was doing it pretty good.

I started at 90, probably able to get 20-30 reps before I'd start screaming bloody murder and then drop the weight & continue.

i forget the weight class cut offs - prob middle weight- target comp weight around 129, and will depend on how many competitors there are if they combine classes.

4/23/05

- Well regular russet potatos were selected as the carb of choice to pull water out of me as we near comp day. So I"m on a 3 day carb up. Weight is still fluctuating around 145 lb.

Today I got a deep tissue massage (first in nearly 2 months!) and then went for an herbal body wrap and then tanning. And then... shopping! The herbal body wrap was sort of like gettign wrapped up like a mummy in bandages soaked in herbal tea bags and put it all into a rubber sweat suit & hang out for a while. It was interesting. It was supposed to pull some water out, maybe tighten skin a little & flush out some toxins. And it was just damn relaxing.

Training was awesome this morning - back & hams. I dont' remember all of it but it involved 4 sets of 9-12 pull ups putting the cable row close grip over the chin-up bar. Pretty cool! Then some cable pull-downs using single grips and the cable stand. And some DB "kick backs" but more like a full motion like skiing w/ poles to hit my back. And some DB dead lifts + butt blaster.

Then cardio.

oh I have had that herbal wrap thing done.. isn't it great!!! so calming!! did they check your measurements before and after to see if they were able to pull any water out?
 
I just went bumming around the mall which is near my gym. I hit Charlotte Russe cuz its my fav cheap go-out clothes place. I bought a bunch of tops but not sure if I'm goign to keep all of them or not.

The spa thing - eh, I dunno. It was relaxing, but then I also had a 90 min massage before and 20 min of tanning after. I think it probably didn't hurt tho.

Contest prep-wise - I'm now doing a 3 day carb / 3 day low carb cycle. My weight is fluctuating up a little bit because of the added carbs but still between 145-147. My strength is great and generally I looke great. The ever-present butt is still there and will probably just require some time (and lots of hypers + deads + squats + lunges I guess). The only remaining stinker is my stomach & lower back. I've lot shitloads of fat but have the loose skin now. When I do my posing I can get it pretty tight but it is hindering 6-pack. I"m sure the water depletion in the last week will help, but its just going to be a lot of whatever I can do to get the skin tighter.

On a lighter note, I went back shopping this afternoon and lo & behold... I bought a size 2 pair of jeans. Its Polo or Ralph Lauren (whatever, can't remember) which tend to run a little larger I think, sheeyit, a size 2! Just about everything else I tried on is a size 2-4. Crazy.

Another change is a switch to AM training. This should be interesting as I will be waking up around 5 am & hauling ass up to the gym for whatever I can stay awake for. And then hauling butt in traffic downtown for work and whatever I can stay awake for. The goal is to give me more time at night to take care of things like tanning & what not and also forcing me to go to bed earliier. Blah. Eh i'll try whatever for this show.

Now I gotta go prep all my meals & stuff for tomorrow. AND clothes for work, etc .etc etc.

Dropping in clothing size is just about the best feeling in the world. Go SASSY you are truly inspiring and motivating.

Well survived day 1 of the new training schedule. Alarm went off at 4:45 am, the trainer called at 5:18 to get me out of bed. I had all my stuff laid out the night before but still the logistics of trying to make sure I dont' forget anything and the fact that I woke up ever 45 min over nite runnign thru my list of stuff to not forget didnt' help much. Toss down the morning's supplements, nuke breakfast, load it all in the car & head out. I'm gettign pretty good at driving w/ my knees while I shovel down turkey patties & broccoli! Except I was gettign a little wild because it's still pitch black out on the drive to the gym and I found a broccoli floret on my seat when I got back into my car after work to drive back up to the gym. So now there's a piece of broccoli sitting on the floor of the parking ramp. I'm sure that will leave some heads scratching....

Training - quads & triceps today. KILLED my quads. But interestingly the longer I did my sets, the stronger & more awake I got. I definitely appreciated that it was still a carb day! Then shower, change & off to work. I actually got there on time but I started slowing down around 10 am as I expected. Dragged thru the day & back off to the gym for PM cardio & tanning. Still gotta make food for tomorrow & start the cycle over. I willl be coming home directly after work & do cardio here tho. Now I just gotta make sure I finish all the logistical stuff earlier tonite & be sure to take a Nytol to fall asleep better. I do like the AM training tho! (Ask me the question again at the end of the week...see what I say then.) Tomorrow starts the 2 day low carb cycle. Maybe I'll just apologize now for any pissiness that overcomes me during this time :worried:

Well weight went up a little after a 2 day low carb cycle - 146. Kinda strange but I believe I'm a day pre-hormone week so that would make sense. Today started another round of carb up - still using regular potatos. Then reduce the number of them over the next 2 days. My quads & hams were definitely fuller this morning but I felt "fat" in the stomach, which of course could be hormone week.

I really enjoy training in the AM, however adjusting my sleep cycle is killing me. I get up at 5 am, to the gym by 6 am, off to work by 8 am. If I get to work earlier, then I can leave earlier. The days I need to tan, I go back to the gym & do cardio first. Otherwise I go home & do cardio there. I've cut out one of my cardio sessions/day as a result of trying to get all this into the span of a regular day. One thing I've noticed is that my feet are starting to hurt. I've got foot issues anyway from bunion surgery several yrs ago, however it appears I need to go shopping for some new kicks this weekend. (WOW! I *have* to go shopping ...! As if I ever needed a real reason to do that...!)

This weekend is going to be most posing & routine work. And also gotta get to a place down south of ATL to get my AM show posing suit fitted. And, as usual, go hit Costco to restock food. Also need to know what the next 14 days hold as far as food so I can stock the right stuff.

Today is 16 days out --I guess 15 if you don't count show day. I started water pills today to see how I react and also the dreaded colon cleanse. All I can say is thank God my cube is near the restrooms.... :worried:

I am soooooooooo excited to meet everyone that weekend and also I'm getting more excited to just be done w/ this whole experience. Sometimes the memories are better than the actual event..... (cuz you can reminisce over a pizza!) And right now work is getting rather stressful, so the combination of all of it leaves me short of sleep & hauling ass everywhere I go.

I'm seeing a trip to Ft. Lauderdale some time in the near future....!

Thouhgt about a NO booster?

What's that? When you yell "NO!" louder?

Actually I f*'d up. I am NOT giving up 1 of the cardio sessions - misunderstanding on my part. So I will be getting up earlier than 5 am to do that in addition to am training. D'oh! I guess I get to buy one of those sweat suits too for sweating during cardio. Wohoo!

Same thing

Nitric Nitrous - same thing...just a difference int he Oxygen content
 
Sassy are you doing Figure or BB?
What cutting diet are you following for these last weeks before the show?
Just curious as I'm doing 3 days low carb and 2 high and its killing me.
 
Sassy, did you already begin your colon cleanse? I did one last year called CleanseSmart, i think w/ no problems. Then two weeks ago i did the PowerCleanse by the same company which is for bb's, people who workout, athletes, etc...I got so sick i had to stop. The colon cleanse was the same as the first time, (the evening pills ) but the morning pills made me nauseous, vomiting feeling, and sick to my stomach and faint like. I had to stop a few days ago. Also felt like i was getting a cold w/ a sore throat and runny nose. Did you have any of these sides? What is the name of the cleanse you started, if you did yet? The stuff even made me break out w/ zits, thought maybe my body was cleansing the toxins out? Looking for a new cleanser for the future. Thanks :)
 
I'm actually not sure what this stuff is called cuz I got it from one of the other clients who apparently has a year's supply of it. Its a tan-colored powder that you take 1 tsp in the AM and another around 3 pm. It kicks in promptly at 9 pm. I havent' gotten sick or anything from it - just really need to pay attention to where you are at 9 pm....
 
Well TGISaturday. Of course my power got bumped out this morning in a thunderstorm & I overslept for AM cardio. (Fuxor.) Got more sleep tho. Got to the gym at 10:15, trained, got the new diet, did the delinquent cardio out of the way and off to check out my options for my AM posing suit.

Weight today - 145 lb. Gotta break that barrier. Blah. Definitely fuller though, veins were popping during training and I had the sickest pump going in my biceps after 4 sets of hammer curls that I didn't have just that vein running thru my bicep, but it was actually knotted. Crazy.

Didn't like my options for of the rack at this place suggested by my trainer, so they said I could mail down one of my old suits & they can copy it. This is what I'm goign to do - I can't even find the bottoms to my old AM show suit & the PM show suit is black w/ studs. That won't fly for the pre-judge. So the black one is getting mailed down on Monday to get copied into a really pretty royal blue I think.

OK speaking of the black suit, here are some pix w/ it. The good news is that I am almost as lean as I was on show day when I wore this in 2000. Much more muscle mass but at least I'm not a tubbo. (That would be my 2nd show in 2000, but we won't go there...:rolleyes:).

I :heart: my Sassy!
 
LMAO @ "man abs" -- I wish! Not quite there yet, but you can tell your mom I'm just going for the 6-pack, not the keg. :)
 
from a friend

Im a fan of ur body but i cant say the same for the suit, texture and colour seem to me too raugh shading details specialy in the upper side.
IN that grey thin brassiere from avatar u look : wow !!!!
 
Well, as a matter of fact, that suit was made to go w/ the music for my first show -- being that I am a heavy metal girl at heart, my music was Metallica and the suit was pure metal!

I've since opted for much lighter music, this year will be a custom mix of the "Theme from The Pink Panther". The suits will be royal blue.

I got some Pink Panther Booty Shorts for you and the hooker heels...and a mirror to flex...woo hoo!! HAWT.

Sass your Avi looks great...WOW

Well, I'm going to bed...:sleep2:
 
lol ! look out! (music from KISS "Strutter" playing in the background...)

I'm off as well. Another hr of cardio awaits me at 5 am....
 
Sassy wow you're looking absolutely fabolous, and woman that avi pic made me run over here to check out the pics, HAWWT ;)
 
OMG

I'm speechless Sassy! you look DAMN good! WOW!
 
Damn I spend too much time giving you guys karma & have to spread it around. Well, i guess of the books, big karma hug to all of you for giving me a forum to post my progress, off-gas when things drag and generally deal w/ all the drama that surrounds your typical competition experience. :)

Today, I am proud (lol .. I guess in the little sphere of my competition world) to say that I posted a 142.5 lb this morning. Then I went bounding off to the gym at 5 am for an hr of cardio and back/hams training. After which I was so tired, primarily from lack of sleep, that I came back home and went to bed.

I'm on day 2 of low carb with 5 meals/day plus 3 egg whites pre-cardio. I prefer this to the 8 meals/day and I think that was a major part of not being able to dump the last layer of bodyfat.

That's primarily what I was referring to. I got my bodyfat done this morning & he says I lost a little muscle, so he's moving back to the 8 protein meals but keeping the carbs as they are right now. I think I'm gonna run some numbers first before I start packign down food again.

Dropping the protein made no sense anyway.....as did reducing the number of meals
 
let me ask this then, except for the silly increase in carbs, how far do you think I should increase the protein? Back up to 8 meals? This comes out to about 2g protein / bodyweight. Again I start to become concerned about total cals. My body wont' give up the last layer if I've got extra cals to deal with.

IMO...a couple of things:

the "rule" about 32 grams of protein being the max that can be utilized/digested makes no sense....Whey protein for example is ultra digestable and it makes sense that you can handle more grams of whey than say...steak for example.


would think that 6 meals(every 2.5 - 3 waking hours) would suffice....

I would also consider a whey shake with water post weights...shoot for 50 grams


do the 30 grams per meal for the other 5 meals.....that comes to 200 grams or about 1.5 per pound.




that way you:

1 - get an extra meal in

2 - get extra protein

3 - dont increase the carb content

4 - take advantage of Wheys almost instant uptake in the body




...and at this point, as cardio become a factor....I might consider getting a casein(long release) protein as you last meal before bed(you could also add some carbs if you wish)






one thing to consider.....




I know you have a different opinion on this:


cals in versus cals burn ---> ultimately dictate weight loss


look at your overall cal intake versus what you are burning off.....whatever number that is....I think you would be better off JUST EATING that amount of cals (or a bit more) and backing off the cardio



...if not get a cortisol blocker


I realize that fat loss is a priority right now....but its the increase in cortisol that is the culprit....as well as the drop in protein

According to the "cals burned" monitors, this is around 550 cal/cardio session x 2 = 1000 cals.

I agree on the 6 meals - what I was anticipating. At this point, since I haven't had a protein shake since the beginning of March, would I see some issues processing it??

Strictly Whey in water??


Shouldnt be a problem....


so...1000 cals burned....take that from your cals in and you might be getting a total of what 400-600 cals daily??
 
Just quick checking in fitday.com - 8 servings of about 35 g protein (4 oz cooked chicken) + 1 c string beans = 1739 cals. The carb cycling puts in either about 100 g carb (= 400 cals of sweet potato/day) or 28 g fat (= 1/2 c almonds) puts total daily cals at around 2000-2200. Less 1100 cal burn = about 1000 cals to "live" on.

thats why I suggested 5 meals with a whey shake(no fat)....it will drop the cals a bit and still keep protein high



but you are cuurrently at 5 meals right??


so you cals are MUCH lower at this particular point??

Currently at 5 meals -

5 protein + veg = 1087 cals
+ 1/2 c almonds = + 360 cal
OR
+ 100 g yams = + 412 cal

=====================
So yep, around 1500 cal total - 1000 cals cardio = 500 cals to survive.

yep....I would recommend the 5 meals with a 6th of Whey protein after training with a portion of sweet potato

then simply leave off the carbs from your last meal of the day
 
Very sexy in the pink and blue suits , thats it Sassy ,feed the hungry eyes !

I miss ur face in em , tho i understand its about BODY bulding

Wait, I think i'mv confused. Is the whey protein Meal 6 or the 6th meal? I train in the AM and eat Meal 1 after cardio & before training. Meal 2 comes after training, shower, drive to work. So you are saying the protein shake as Meal 2 w/ a carb?
 
Wow Sassy you look great!
I'm sorry but I unfortunatley I have school that weekend so I'm going to miss out on seeing you compete! I was pretty disappointed!
Your hard work has really shown through.
Congrats.
 
There will be pictures & stories galore I'm sure... unless what happens in ATL stays in ATL....:evil:



Today I am happy to say the scale reported 141 lb and I sort of saw abs last nite. :)

Yay!
