I did my 2nd of 3 HIIT days for this week today –3 weeks and 3 days till show day-i am starting to feel the effects of my superstrict nutrition plan-i have to time my meals just right so i have energy for a workout and energy to play with my kids…my workouts are getting pretty intense,from here until 3wks from today i am doing HIIT 3x a week-from 8 weeks out i was doing 1x a week, at 6 wks out i was doing 2x a week HIIT and at 4 wks out i started 3x a week…my body is finally starting to change how i want it, i still have a little left on my booty to work on, and just have to lean out just a little bit more in my midsection for my body to be contest worthy..my legs are coming along good, i am finally getting a strong quad/ham seperation line and a teardrop is just starting to pop out every now and then-really stands out when i practice posing in heels-i would still like to lose another inch in my belly and butt and drop about 3-4lbs, but i know realistically, i can probably only drop about 2lbs (water weight of course, right before show) and MAYBE .5inch? hopefully these HIITS will pay off for me–i just have to get super LEAN!! i about killed myself on the treadmill trying to make each sprint faster than the last-i started off w my first sprint @ 9.0 and eneded with a 10.6..soooo 9 more times to hit that HIIT day before contest day, just hope my energy levels stay where they need to be at and i can come in this show looking the best ever!!!!

25days and counting…..

OK maybe someone out there can help me decide something about carbs/protien/fat ratios. typically during the off season i hold a 50/30/20 ratio of carb/pro/fats-or try to at least. i do a lot of running to stay lean and around 3-5lbs over contest weight-since ive been dieting down for this show (and w more weigh than normal to drop, thanks to a 6lb weight gain after surgery!!)i have been keeping about an even 33/33/33 ratio-my goal has been a 40/40/20 split-i know in the past i really didnt keep track of it that much but i usually kept my carbs and protiens about the same for each day ie if i had 120 carbs i had about 100-130g protien….does anyone know if the extra fat i am getting will hurt me for an impending show in 5 wks-so far i am seeing results w the even ratios..my fat sources come from natural peanutbutter, 93% lean ground turkey, protien bars/shakes and the occasional egg yolk in my egg whites….i am confused about it-dont know if i should up the carbs a bit and cut the fat back, or just keep doing the same stuff i have been…???a typical meal plan for me is as follows:

meal #1: 3-4 egg whites with 1/3c oatmeal, sometimes w about 1 tbsp natural peanut butter

meal 2# pure protien bar or a shake (made w water now, not milk)

meal# 3: 4-6 oz lean meat (turkey or chicken) w a sweet potato

snack: 2 rice cakes w 1 tbsp natural peanut butter OR same as meal #3(depending on workout)

meal 5: 4-6 oz lean meat with steamed veggies

if i am still hungry later in the night i have a protien shake or  another protien bar..

all of this comes out to be about 1200-1400 kcals with about 100-120g protien and  but with about 40-50g of fat…i am hoping my intense cardio sessions and plyo workouts burn that fat up…i really dont know if i am obsessing over this too much or not-all i know is that i want to look my best ever on stage in 5 wks and 3 days……and what i dont know is if i should just stay on track with what is working or try to play with it and see what happens?????????

if anyone has suggestions on what i can change to help cut back the fat or just help doing the ratio thing, or just about getting lean SOON-plz let me know!!!!

5 weeks and 4 days left-i am already counting the workouts down, isnt that sad? pretty much 11 -16 more leg days, 11-16 more chest and tri days,etc etc etc…..i am still really excited about this upcoming show but still apprehensive about that 2pc suit…..i think i can pull it off, but in the back of my mind im thinking that if my booty doesnt shrink and my belly doesnt lean out in time….

ah well-i still plan on following through with it, already invested the $$$ so why not. my supplements finally arrived so fat burners are in my system whoo hoo! now that 8 pack better be popping out in about 4 wks….

my leg workout was killer today -i did pyramids with almost every exercise–i actually felt really strong today and had the boys saying "damn i didnt you could leg press that much!" heehee, i always love to be underestimated-i may be small, but dynamite comes in small packages,eh?

hopefully the rest of this week i will continue to feel strong and be able to go balls to the wall!
