I am now 9 weeks out from my first show and I am down to 204.2 as of this morning . I am getting closer to the target weight and I can see changes happening weekly . I just hope that skin will tighten up  in the next 9 weeks . and that abs pop more . I am sure it will all come together but since I have never dieted down  for a show before I have no idea how my body will react . I guess time will tell

10 weeks to go now so this is now crunch time. diet is mostly on track . I was on holidays this week which made things tougher but I was able to make it through without  going off track.  I am down to 206.2 as of this morning and BF 9.69 .. Hopefully 10 weeks is enough time to get to where I still need to be Yikes lol

now just 11 weeks to go and down to 207.8 this morning staying on track and all going as plan thus far … will keep posting

now it is down to 12 weeks to be ready for the first show for me.  things have been going well and I have been reducing slowly and staying on track . I am down to 210 as of this weekend . I have noticed  I do not have the same power as before which was expected training more concentrated now. also started double cardio  . doing 4 session of cardio now in the evening and also 7 session in the mornings   no rest any more lol

now at 13 weeks and this past week went much better than last week. I stay very tight to the diet and training is going well. As of this morning I am down to 212.6 lbs.  I also got myself a posing coach to help me get my posing and relaxed posing right. starting that tonday . I should be ready in 13 weeks I dont want to look like I have no idea what I am doing up there lol ..

will be back next week for the next report .

If you have been reading my blogs on my count down for my show, you will notice I have lost 3 weeks some where .. well this what has been happening .. the OPA (Ontario Physique Association) is no longer being recognized with the CBBF ( Canadian Body building Federation) which is associated with he IBBF .. So if I want to do a show that is recognized I need to do a new Ontario CBBF show and the only on that I can do would be the October 17th show which is 3 weeks earlier then the OPA show for November 7th .   I still think I can be ready I just need to really starting tightening up the diet now and get everything moving quicker

As for my weight .. well this morning I was up to 214.6 which in 1 pound up from last week,. I really was not tight on my diet this week .. well no more room to mess around so now I guess All I can do is quote that song … it is time for Balls to the Wall and get it done

this week was a good week with staying on track with the diet .. I did mis 2 training days this week . First as On Thursday . the day after Canada day . Now the gym I train at is a 24 Hour Gym ( only during the week  On Weekends from 8 to Since Canada day was a Holiday they were on a reduced schedule and closed early that day . Normally after the weekend or a Holiday they will open at 6 AM .. Well on thursday thye did not open at 6 am … even some of there trainers did not know this since they were standing outside with there clients. for some reason  they decided to open at 8 am .. now the people that train there at 6 am are usually on there way to work and have not showered they train show and then go to work ( like me) well I was pissed to find out I could not get in ( they did not have it posted that they would be opening at 8 either)  had to go back ope shower and then to work .. Friday I was up way to late to go to the gym and Saturday I dont go in .. will be back in today . 

Ok enough of the venting  lol .. this weeks numbers 213.8 with a body fat measurement of 10.73% I am going at the pace I was hoping to \

Hope you all have a great day

cheers

I am writing a day early but that is ok. this week I did get a little off track with the diet . I had a few more cheats than I should have had but the weight is still going down. as of today ( I should be doing this tomorrow but oh well) 215.6 Morning weight.  I am not sure when I should be starting double cardio but I think I will be waiting until around 8 weeks out before I start that … so still 11 weeks before that foolishness lol .

according to the calipers I am at 11.74 % bf today ( accurrate within 4%)  all I know I am down from last week lol

ciao

20 weeks and counting down to final show time.  As of this morninig 216.4 ( down 1 pound from last week) it all seems to be going as per plan right now. I picked up a set of calipers and found a good website for calculations http://www.linear-software.com/online.html and a good site that show how to use the calipers http://www.linear-software.com/malesites.html.  as of yesterday I am 14.65% ( accuate with 4% up or down or so they say) so now my goal is to still loose about 9% bf over the next 20 weeks for the show. I should be able to reach that at my current rate and hoping to to keep ( if not gain) my currenty muscle mass.  will keep posting every week to keep a record of this journey to the stage.

 ciao for now
