So, I start my contest diet in about a week and a half.  I have started cleaning up my diet a bit already.  I am eating every 2 hours.  My meals look like this:  breakfast protein powder and oatmeal, post work out meal - same, then each meal after that is either chicken or steak with sweet potatoes and a cup of veggies.  I have been snacking on grapes which i will cut out later, and I am not super strict about cheat meals, on the weekend i will eat like a normal person.  for my work-outs I have been doing cardio 4 days per week and weight training as heavy as I can 4 days also.  I am weighing in at 140lbs.  right now I hope to be about 125ish at the show.  I am going to do 2 shows.  the first is July 12th and the second is the following week July 19th.  I will use the first show to test my peak so I can make sure I look as perfect as I can at the second one which is a bigger show.   I am pretty excited because I have two girlfriends that will be competing with me this time.  It should be fun to have some partners in crime. 

Some of the things I am trying to figure out right now before I officially start my diet are carb cycling and doing a pre-contest cleanse.  At my last show I was too stringy so I may incorperate a carb cycling diet plan in order to keep some fullness.  If I do I will probably start that 8 weeks out.
