On saturday, October 3rd I went to see my first NPC competition.  Up until this time I have merely looked at pics online and dreamed about what it would be like to compete in some way.  Well, after finally seeing one in person I have a new desire to DO instead of just dream.  Starting this week I have tightened my diet to be way more clean that I have been.  I have re-evaluated my workout and kicked it up a notch.  I will be beginning by following a fat loss diet to get my weight to a much better area, then I will be contest training after that to build muscle.  To my disbelief, I stepped in the scale and I weighed 144 lbs, not too much higher, but more than I’d like.  I am beginning a carb cycling diet like this:

Mon, Wed, Fri: Low carb

Tues, Thurs, Sat: mod carb

Sunday: higher carb but still clean eating

I have also been tracking/pre-planning my meals in fitday so I am aware of how many calories I take in every day.

(I follow pre-planned meals very well)

My workouts are M,T, Th, F, with at least 20 min cardio in each session, saturday will be a random exercise class and Sunday is active rest day.

I’m still trying to decide, but I think that for my first competition I will do a bikini contest so that I can get the experience and then I plan to build more muscle and compete in a figure contest later.
