backto125’s BodyBlog

So I went to see my first competition yesterday so I could see what I would one day be experiencing. It was a lot of fun! I went to both the pre-judging and then of course the finals that evening. It was a small show, The NGA Music City Night of Champions, but I will of course be starting w/small ones to get my feet wet. I met a man in the pre-judging whose wife was competing as well as her trainer and his wife ended up winning her class and the overall novice figure and since it was a pro qualifier she got her pro card! Pretty cool! Her trainer also won the pro figure class. I saw, for the first time, a pro bodybuilder named Cleveland Jackson (damn impressive) who won the pro bodybuilding division, and a guest last night was pro bodybuilder Flex Lewis. He says he now lives here in Tennessee, which is pretty neat. Anyway…really glad I went and I can’t wait to get my body in the kind of condition to be able to figure compete!

I will be starting to do only monthly weigh-ins as of this coming month, so I won’t be posting my weight loss today (Sunday) like I usually do. I will post it on July 3 and then the 3rd of every month. I think it will help me to not have to battle those moments of being discouraged if I am not losing as fast as I think, or want, to be losing weight. I am really trying to be very patient with my body since I know I have f***ed up my metabolism after years of yo-yo dietng and also since I am doing so much strength training.

OK…I hope everyone who reads this has had a great weekend, and here is to a successful week ahead of training and diet for all of us!!

OH! My diet and training over the last week was FABU!!
