10 % body fat…the count down is on
My check in with Pete, my nutritionist went well last night. I am now at 10% body fat. Only one more to go - maybe two. We’ll see. This is my first contest, I don’t want to look too thin.
Next week - at 3 weeks out, my diet will change. He told me he will put me on a 2 day zero carb, then 3rd day carb cycle. I’ll get a modified cheat meal a couple times a week (he actually picks the treat), and we’ll see what I look like.
Since I only weight 95 pounds, my concern is looking flat. Like, will my muscles just deflate since I am still doing cardio? Pete told me to evaluate myself in the mirror and make sure I am keeping my muscle size. Since my body responds quickly to diet manipulation and workouts alike, I can probably cut back on my cardio. Wow, that would be nice.
He said I will most likely not have much energy to do cardio anyway since I won’t be eating much carbs.
Tonight I practice my posing after I am done teaching yoga. I need to put in a good 20 minutes every day if I can.
Saturday I have a posing class to attend so it will be great practice for me. I’m happy with what I see in the mirror so hopefully, I am doing it right!
Namaste.
