OK so as the rumor goes, yeah, I decided to compete in a figure comp this year. Although I'm not taking the competition itself seriously, I'm taking my journey to it VERY seriously. It is just another goal to work toward. Something a little more challenging than just losing weight and keeping it off. Getting your body in competition shape, just to prove to yourself that you can do it. You know? So yeah. I'm here, and I'm doing it.
First things first.
Tomorrow I will be 12 weeks out. The show is June 4. That is the goal. I PLAN to be ready for that day, but if I'm not, I've got my sights set on another show in October, which actually is a natural show. The June 4th show is not. But for now, June 4th it is. I'll bust my ass the next 12 weeks to get there.
Patrick's helping me with training, Jodi's helping me with diet, Jodie is going to get hit with 40,000 questions about my posing suit(s), and everyone else is being very supportive and not letting me quit. This is fantastic. Thanks to all of you. This is going to be exciting as hell for me, and I'm happy that my IM family is by my side.
Starting measurements, and weight, as of today (except body fat, which I didn't get done, maybe i can have it done today or tomorrow at the gym).
BW: 105.5
Waist: 27 (yeah i gained back the .75 i had lost)
Hips: 33.75
Upper thigh: 20.25
Lower thigh: 17.25
Chest: (including boobs) 32.75 / chest: (above boobs) 33.75
Shoulders: 37.75
Bicep relaxed: 10
Foream: 8.5
Calf: 13
I'm not sure what else, if anything, I'm supposed to include in a cutting journal, as opposed to my regular ol' journal from before, so everyone feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, yadda yadda...
And with that... here we go! Let's start cutting (well I officially start tomorrow, really).
Oh yeah, and tonight, I am allowed to have an all-out cheat meal, which will probably include pizza, garlic bread and some kind of cake (chocolate, or a slice of cake from Cake Design - my favorite cake bakery down here). Knowing me, though, that will most likely not even happen because I will be wracked with guilt after the first bite. hahahaha! I'll probably buy angel food cake and pretend it's Cake Design.
