Transition & post-comp rebound...

Sassy: I agree with your above posts.. you really know your stuff girl and thanks so much for all the input. I was wondering how long it takes for a menstrual cycle to return??? I havent had my period in two months due to the low bf...

I lose mine around 11% and it comes back around 13-15%. I gained easily 10 lb by the end of 2 weeks later and mine has generally returned in the next complete month after my show.

Ischia-I'll take you up on that p.m. and I believe gathering all the info I can and reading all these diff. exp.'s from others really help in sorting it all out. I agree that switching it up w/classes and diff. training routines will help as the every day stuff can get boring. Its such a high like Sassy said and coming down from that is an adjustment as well. I try diff. things every year, for awhile I ran 5 K's then got into Triathalons, I have really enjoyed the weight training as I've seen increbidible changes in my body since focusing more on weights. Whatever you do, its suppose to be fun and challenging,right.

Sassy-I do much beter w/a detailed plan also, never been good at just winging it w/training. I find I have to work much harder now at 40 to get lean but for the positive my mental strength is 100% better than in my 20's. Are you going to compete in Figure in Sept.? I need to catch up on reading your posts
