Welcome!



Figure ladies - hopefully will have
a mean body like them one day!



Welcome to my blog :)  I’ve decided to keep a journal as I prepare for the upcoming bodybuilding competition season.  I’ve got two competitions that I’ve decided on doing, Bikini class in the Auckland Champs on 28^th May, and Figure class in the Waikato Bodybuilding show in October.  This will be my first year competitng so I’m pretty nervous!  But also so excited :)



BAD - needless to say they
 are not on my diet plan :P



Jake is currently doing my nutrition and all is going well so far!  It’s amazing the transformation I’ve seen in my body just from changing what I was eating, not that I was eating too bad before....but I had been known to eat a whole box of fruit sticks in a day :S (even though they say low in fat, its still all sugar, basically cake! :P ), and timing, frequency, and what types of food you eat makes a HUGE difference in how your body looks.  Since changing my diet I have lost that ‘puffy’ look, and have been able to build lean muscle and drop fat.  Which is always good!

My stats before I started on my diet were (29th January):

Body fat: 18.5%

Weight: 53.1kgs

Lean mass: 43.2kgs

Now I’m sitting at:

Body fat: 16.5%

Weight: 54.5kgs

Lean mass: 45.5

So I’m happy with my gains so far, obviously would like to gain as much muscle as I can before October to hopefully do well in the figure class, but it doesn’t happen overnight so I’ll just keep on working hard!

My eating plan currently looks like this:

Meal 1: Oats/Peaches/protein shake

Meal 2: Protein bar

Meal 3: Corn thins with chop chop & veges

Meal 4: Protein shake and apple

Meal 5: Chicken/Kumara & veges

Meal 6: Protein bar



My lunch - YUM



  

So I’m eating around 1650 calories a day, it’s funny, before I started on my competition diet I was actually eating more calories but felt a lot more hungrier, now I’m eating less calories but feeling a lot more satisfied as the food keeps me fuller for longer, its great!

At the moment I’m training 5-6 days per week

Monday – Back/Biceps

Tuesday – 40min cardio/Abs

Wednesday – Rest day

Thursday – Triceps/Chest/light shoulders

Friday – Legs

Saturday – Cardio/abs

Sunday – Shoulders

I’m really loving my training at the moment, it’s fun to push myself every time I’m in the gym – you’ll be surprised just how much you can do if you put your mind to it!

So that’s alittle abit about me....  I’ll be updating regularly, please feel free to post any comments or questions. Hope you enjoy reading about my journey to my 2011 competition season!

Keep up with your training to see great results!
