Just 1 Fat Chick on a Diet

1300 calorie cycle.

Deficit from diet 738 calories a day

Deficit from excersize 2500-3000 calories a week

Drinking lots of water!!!

Cutting sat fats down to under 10 g a day AT MOST

Cutting all white/refined starches, all complex/whole grain carbohydrates

lots of fruits and veggies

increasing healthy fats, mono and poly fats (omega 3’s)

Thinking about carb cycling, but need to research!

Getting as much sleep as my schedule will allow for

Drinking green tea and other forms of tea ;op

Taking a multivitamin specific to females.

Any other things I should be doing!?!?!

Ok 4.5 weeks away from the cruise and I’d like to treat it like a competition. I want to be the absolute leanest and best I can be by the end of this 4.5 weeks. I’ve already lost another 11.5 lbs and am pretty happy with being in the 140s finally

 HOWEVER..my stupid bodyfat scale is a peice of garbage. I got it so I would stop relying so closely on my regular scale and beating myself up with every increased lb I got it to see my bodyfat changes of course and my bodyfat varies every five seconds..It has gone from 17.5% which I was thrilled about when I got it to 34% bodyfat. I KNOW this cant be right. I have been lifting like a looney and I see definite changes. I am however, SOOOO bloated. I dont know if it accounts water weight as bodyfat or how it works.

AND I dont know where I am going wrong and I certainly dont want to be like this come cruise time. You cant even see my 2 pack, which was coming in very nicely before! It took a lot of work to get those top two to pop! Ok I joke I joke..but seriously I’m pissed off.

 Any advice, especially contest prep advice is welcome! Anything I can do to make this body look like its stage worthy before I step foot on the cruise ship Nov 11th is soooo welcome and much appreciated! I dont care WHAT I have to do. If you tell me I have to drink my own urine for the next 4 weeks to look lean by the cruise..I will hold my nose and shut my eyes! (but hopefully there are better ways..)ew …ok…anyhow…

 Thanks all!
