Ok…..I couldn’t handle the bulk just yet.  I am going to cut for the next month with the goal of getting down to 120-123 by October 1.  Then I will start my bulk.  I have to get rid of some of the post contest blubber first.  I simply can’t handle it!!!

Getting ready for change……

Sunday, August 19th, 2007
I found this somewhere online while searching for an inspirational quote. It’s pretty good and just happens to apply to me right about now. 

Here are some tips for preparing for change, from Shape Magazine’s Ultimate Body book.

Before you set out on your journey, get a notebook and write down:

*the changes that you want to make in your life
*what the positive outcomes will be upon making them
*what challenges you could encounter
*your strategy for dealing with those issues
*who might help you
*who might try to sabotage you
*how you’ll deal with those people who aren’t supportive
*ideas that will help you just in case you get “off course” occasionally
*rewards that you’ll give yourself for making progress

This is kind of like the SWOT Analysis I learned about in business school. (that’s what I used)

Working on the “PLAN”.

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

The last time I checked I had a lean body mass of about 104 pounds measured via calipers. I would like to add 4 to 5 pounds of lean body mass by February 1. I am thinking I would like a pound on each shoulder, a pound on each butt cheek, and another quarter pound for each quad, and other half pound to be placed on my lats and lower back.

Sounds pretty funny, I know. The strange thing is I actually believe I can "place" my meat. :)

I am placing a limit of 128 pounds total on myself throughout the winter to make sure that when it comes to cutting time, I can kick my feet up and cut at a reasonable pace.

I am going to follow the same 21 week periodization program I did last season. I will start August 27 and work it thru January 7.

From January 8 thru the end of February I am keeping this up in the air. Maybe I will come across something in a magazine or online that intrigues me, or maybe I will work reluctant body parts. (shoulders) Or maybe I will go swimming….you never know.

Then from March 01 thru the end of May comes the cutting diet combined with the cardio and 6 days a week weight training. YIKES!!!

I plan to compete next season at 118-120 pounds. I am figuring about 108-109 pounds of lean mass and 10 to 12 pound of delicious fat.

I have a lot of work to do on one hand, but on the other hand I want to make sure I don’t overshoot and look like a dude. I have figured out that the judges like their physiques to be somewhat girlie and curvaceous. That’s why I am building out my shoulders and booty, cause I have quite a thick waist and need to add to the illusion of looking like Jessica Rabbit.

Well that’s PART of the plan.
