</font></font></span><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">My trainer is a tough one. My hour and a half workout was a TORTURE!!

<p><span lang="EN-GB"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span lang="EN-GB" /><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">So I did the next.<br />

I didn’t have to like extend my leg all the way. For example, during leg extensions I didn’t have to flex it on top but keep it half way, so I could keep the tension on my quads. PAIN, PAIN!!!!!! I have trunk like legs, very massive and thick. To compete in </font></font></span><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">Figure competitions I need to have long, lean legs. I add mass very quickly so I have to make a lot of repetitions. I gained 3 lbs. of muscle not a good thing for me. So no more squats for me. YAY! I hated doing the lunges the most. My butt hurts in its CORE!!<br />
</font></font></span><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">My trainer is very good, at least I hope he is. I heard a lot of good things about him. I hope he&#8217;s a magician cause I need a miracle to get to where I want to be. I was kind of bumped yesterday cause I felt like I wasted all this time for nothing. Of course it’s not all wasted but I know that if I done this sooner I would already be competition ready. Oh well, better late than never.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to my coach last friday. I&#8217;m still not making any significant progress. And she&#8217;s worried that my training isn&#8217;t the way it should be. I&#8217;m on a 1500 cal. a day cycling high carb/low protein days with high protein/low carb days. So the diet should not be the problem.</p>
<p>I have to travel 1 hr- 1.5 hrs by train to get to her. (I don&#8217;t have a car) She&#8217;s in the Hague and I&#8217;m in Rotterdam. And that isn&#8217;t a problem cause I only go once every 4- 5 weeks. But she wanted me to have someone that could workout with me. So she suggested for me to come at least once a week to The Hague to workout with them. It was very nice of her, but it&#8217;s too much for me. Cardio @ 4.30 am then go to work which is already an hr from home. and then after that go to the Hague for another hour or more. and I still have to go home after that and cook my 100 meals for the next day. ay ay ay, and not to mention my husband! I&#8217;ll end up divorced by the end of the year. <img src='http://blog.bodybuilding.com/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But then it hit me. There was a trainer just next to my job. So I asked her if she knew him. Apparently he&#8217;s one of the best trainers out there and they work a lot together. No need to say more, so I went to him after I left my coach. He&#8217;s so friendly and knows a lot. He immediately told me he trains every one the same, it doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re a man or a woman. He&#8217;s very stricked and he&#8217;ll demand nothing but 100% from me. He&#8217;s going to be tough and will expect a lot from me.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so excited you guys!! I&#8217;m starting today right after work. I have a huge bag with me, with all my meals for the day and my workout gear. hahaha. HUGE BAG, not kidding!</p>
<p>I also started atletics last saturday. We only worked on our shape. I have to say I was ashamed since a girl twice my size was in better shape then I was. I was gasping for air after 5 minutes and she looked like she could go on for hours!!! hahaha I&#8217;ll work on that!</p>
<p>But I can&#8217;t help feeling like I&#8217;ve wasted so much time, training on my own. By now I should&#8217;ve made more progress dnd I still look soft. I&#8217;m really trying not to get depressed now. I&#8217;m trying to forget the fact that I have to start all over again. At least I have a good basis now. I just hope it&#8217;s going to work this time.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are things I told myself I would never do starting working out. Becoming a cliché bodybuilder, you know…</p>
<p>1. Grunt</p>
<p>I do not only grunt at times but curse like a sailor too when I’m really into it. I always have my mp3 player with me so when I’m “in the zone” and forget about all the people around me. Soooo embarrassing! I usually don’t like swearing in front of other people. I find it a bit tacky.</p>
<p>2. Wear my comfy gym clothes everywhere</p>
<p>Why not, you ask? Well there’s always a time and a place to wear some types of clothes. I have party clothes which I never get to wear anymore because I simply don’t have much of a social life lately. Working clothes and GYM clothes. I used to wear my gym gear to go to the grocery store but then I met people from the Gym and they kept asking me if I just left the gym. <img src='http://blog.bodybuilding.com/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>3. Flirt with the instructor (or any cute guy in the gym)</p>
<p>I’m MARRIED!!! I have no business flirting with the instructor or any cute guy in the gym. But it’s so much fun. Besides I’m not doing anything wrong, am I?????</p>
<p>4.Wear too tight/ skimpy clothes</p>
<p>Oh well, who was I kidding when I said that. I’m working my butt off and finally getting the body I always wanted. I’m not going to cover myself up!!! Except at work of course.</p>
<p>5. Walk like I’m carrying one pineapple under each armpit</p>
<p>I see guys walking like that and I’m like: Ok dude you’re big, but do you really have to walk like that? Relax your arms. But when I’ve just worked out my back and LATS!!!! I’m as stiff as a board and I walk like I just swallowed a broom stick and one pineapple under each armpit! I’m not even going to tell you how I walk after a leg workout day. Reminds me the day we had the dog neutered. Not a pretty sight let me tell you…</p>
<p>I have to say I pretty much failed every single one. Hehehe Does that mean that I&#8217;m a true bodybuilder? hahahhahaha ahve a nice one guys!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m soooo frustrated today. And for a change BB.com isn&#8217;t helping at all!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working out for almost 3 years now. I&#8217;ve lost 18 lbs so far. And it&#8217;s not nearly enough. I bust my a$$ 5 times a week, I eat healthy (or as healthy as possible), I take my vitamins and supps like a good girl, but it&#8217;s still not good enough.</p>
<p>I see girls on here that started the same period as I did and they look AMAZING. Some even had 3-4 kids and managed to lose the weight that was worse than mine WITHIN A YEAR!!!!  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m every freakin day in the gym working myself to the bone for what? For mediocre results? Don&#8217;t get me wrong I DO admire those girls on here. They are doing great and should keep it up. I keep telling myself, oh they must be on something&#8230;(I can be a hating bitch sometimes <img src='http://blog.bodybuilding.com/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ), or&#8230; They have a complete different body type. And living in holland where every one seems to be at least 6&quot; tall and a size 2, doesn&#8217;t motivate me at all.</p>
<p>Not to mention WEIGHT!! I feel like a HIPPO at 138 lb. One of my best friends just told me a few days ago that she&#8217;s at 121 lbs. And yes, she&#8217;s almost 6&quot; tall. Not really&#8230; she&#8217;s more like 5&quot;8&#8242;. Ok she has a little flabby stomach and squishy body, but that&#8217;s not the point. SHE&#8217;S 121 LBS!!! I can&#8217;t remember when is the last time I weighted that much. Oh yes I do&#8230;. I was 13.</p>
<p>Anyway. I&#8217;m doing morning cardio at 4.30 am, 6 times a week, so maybe I&#8217;m just sleep-deprived and cranky.</p>
<p>I have a weigh in next week at my coach and we&#8217;ll see if I made any progress.</p>
<p>Take care!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I just signed in for an athletics class. I hate running, jogging, swimming&#8230; in one word&#8230; CARDIO. Why I do it? Simply because I need to lean out, mostly my lower body. </p>
<p></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">And since I have to PAY for it, I&#8217;ll force myself to go. It&#8217;s a 12 week course on saturdays. They help you develop a better fitness level. It&#8217;s a small group 30-35 people and there will be 2 trainers so you&#8217;ll have more supervision. At the end of the course you&#8217;ll have to do a Cooper test and after you pass that, a certificate. It seems ok and to tell you the truth&#8230; I&#8217;m kind of excited. </p>
<p></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I try not to expect too much. I just hope I end up loving it or at least being at peace with running. </p>
<p></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">The only thing is&#8230;. my hubby isn&#8217;t happy about that. It&#8217;s one more thing that takes time being away from him. I know what he means cause during the week I&#8217;m always working, working out, cooking meals and go to sleep early cause I need to wake up early for my morning cardio. And at the end of the week I&#8217;m exhausted!  </p>
<p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.4pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I think I have to talk to my trainer to come up with a new training schedule, where I can spend more time doing things with or TO my husband. hehehe </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I don&#8217;t know like maybe weightlifting 3 times a week and cardio 6 times a week. Instead of weightlifting 5 times/week and cardio 5-6 times. And NOOOO working out with him isn&#8217;t an option. He&#8217;s a MARINE! </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.4pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I used to go running with him and he always barked at me, like I was a recruit myself. If that was someone else I wouldn&#8217;t mind it that much, cause I&#8217;ll go home after that, and wouldn&#8217;t see him/her till the next day. I don&#8217;t have that on/off switch, so I was pissed all night at him for yelling at me. And he always did the meanest things. Like when I was all sore and wanted to go home, he&#8217;ll take a detour. Or run through mud when it&#8217;s raining/snowing. oh he even let me run on a cross bike track/course. Uphill, downhill. and it was very steep for almost 2 hrs. I cried on my way home that day. SERIOUSLY. So for the sake of our marriage&#8230;.. I&#8217;ll do this on my own and I&#8217;ll PAY for somebody else to yell at me. Than I know I won&#8217;t stab anyone in their sleep. hahaha</span></p>

You put a pencil underneath your breast and if it stays in place, you have sagging breasts. I passed this one. (Us women do come up with crazy things to mess us up more, huh.)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" /><span lang="EN-GB">But then I used the test to see if I have a sagging butt, I failed miserably. It’s not that I have a flabby droopy butt; it’s quite firm actually. It’s just that it is such a big, round and protruding butt! I’m sure I have at least 10 lbs on one cheek alone. LOL<br />
</span><span lang="EN-GB" /><span lang="EN-GB">The more squats, lunges and step-ups I do the more round and bulgy it gets. I’m working on that nice NO gluteal fold figure women have.  ARGHHHH!<br />
</span><span lang="EN-GB" /><span lang="EN-GB">More squats! More squats!!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you might have guessed from my bodyblog title I’m aspiring to compete next year in april. Since march this year I’ve been working with a nutritionist. She monitors my weight and body fat every 4-5 weeks and also helps me out with supplementation and diet. The thing is that I have to compete against taller, more muscular, younger girls that have more experience than I do.</p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">factor 1: <strong>Height</strong> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">I’m 5’3” and most girls are 5’6”. European girls are taller and leaner. I’m half Caribbean, half Latina. I have the typical bootylicious body and trunk like legs on top of that.  So it’s more difficult for me to get my legs shaped and leaned out. I’m working on that tight-no-gluteal-fold and it’s very difficult, almost impossible to get.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" /></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" /></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">factor 2: <strong>body fat</strong></span></span><span lang="EN-GB"> <span lang="EN-GB">I do have celulite and a lot of it. I&#8217;m not ashamed for  having them but I&#8217;m not happy either. I&#8217;ve read once that  only 6% all female don&#8217;t have cellulite and I seriously believe that 5% live here in holland and they are ALL competing in bodybuilding. It&#8217;s frustrating. I know it can be helped with proper nutrition and working out a lot, but you&#8217;ll never get rid of it entirely. That SUCK!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" /><span lang="EN-GB"><span /></span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">factor 3: <strong>Musclarity</strong> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">These girls have sports background. The ones that always win, come from athletics, running, judo and gymnastics. I used to practice tae kwondo but that was ages ago and the only thing that I kept out of it is the discipline/ love for sports and I won’t whine if it hurts. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: NL; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">I lost my flexibility, my six-pack (I had one at 16 years old and big arms. My sister used to call me Popeye!) and my overall muscularity.</span> </span></span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" /></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">Even knowing all this I&#8217;m still going to compete and I know I have a lot of work to do. You would think; oh it’s 8 months away, there is enough time. But time flies!  </span></span>

But does anyone else have to crap all day too? Well I do, and up to 3– 4 times a day. I know it’s not a very uhhh…. tasteful topic (no pun intended), but it’s something we all do right?

Even drinking a lot of water seems to improve bowel movement. For someone that used to do a #2, once every 7-10 days, it&#8217;s very tiring to have to go efter nearly every meal.</span></p>

And I thank you all for that. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I was doing good for the past months, but I started to have more cheat meals and missing workouts now and then. After a while I started to feel a bit of a fake person cause I wasn’t looking like “that” anymore. </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">I recently graduated as a 3D designer. YAY! So the past few months I was more focused on that. But I still managed to keep my diet as clean as I could (considering the stress and anxieties) and I even scheduled my morning cardio again. I didn’t do any weights though for about 3-4 weeks straight.(believe me I’m kicking myself right now) I’ve missed it.  </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">So It’s time for new workout- schedules and I’ve been to my trainer (diet + supps) last friday to measure and weight myself to see what the damage has been. I’m glad to inform you that it wasn’t that bad. I actually lost some weight and my bf% stayed the same.</span></span></span></span></p>
