Here goes nothing……
So here I sit 12 weeks out yesterday from my first figure comp. I preped for one previously and looked pretty darn good but chickened out so ever made it to the final stage. This time I am determined. So far things are going well, I had my cheat meal of Sushi last night, and will probably keep that as my weekly cheat for as long as its allowed. Diet is going great, Im learning to get over the idea of what I am eating when and just refer to it as meal 1, meal 2 ect… Cause the idea of egg whites and extra lean turkey burger from bfast is pretty gross!! Training is great, not too much cardio so far, just 30 min here and there. Im struggeling with abs though. I can’t seem to train my abs with out getting a charlie horse type of cramp in them…its so crazy! I try not to give up but it hurts so bad that after it has happened I usually wait about 10 min and then attempt to hit them again but I can’t seem to fully enage them for fear of cramping again. Now they just spasm all day, so weird!
For those of you that have done this before or just trained pretty hard, is it normal to feel like your muscles are cramping a little? cause some days its other muscles too, Is it just cause there tired?
I am still a good ways out from "looking" like I should compete but I have decided to just relax, let my prep take me where I need to be and if in the end Im still not competition ready, well then I won’t get on stage but I will still look pretty darn good, and it won’t be cause I didn’t work hard enough, just that I didn’t work long enough…14 weeks just may not be enough time for me….. Time will tell…..
