sbh2082’s BodyBlog

Well its just a little over 12 hours and I will be checking in for my first show!  WOW is all that comes to mind to say!  I am so excited!!!   I mean my posing still could have used alot more work, but thats ok, we live and learn and there WILL BE more shows done the road for sure!  Just trying to enjoy the last bit of it now!!!

WOWWWWWWWW!!! Can you say busy!?!?  Well obviously its been several weeks since I have had a chance to get over here and create a blog entry   BUt I am now only 5 days out from my first show and I really CANNOT wait!  Definately gotta find a little more time to work on my posing and get it down just right over the next few days, then the last minute stuff like nails, hair, waxing etc and we will be all ready to go!  Besides the being tired a lot here lately (then again sleep at night kinda been BLAH) this whole diet down wasn’t too bad, especially for a first go around… so I could more then likely see myself doing it again in the near future with a couple of dates already in mind for early fall

Yeah so I have been slacking on this blog quite a bit!!!  BUt finally found some free time so thought that I would go ahead and update it finally!  Well my goals have changed slightly and I am gonna be doing the June 2 show as my first show and then another one probably later on in the fall.  Been super busy opening up my business as well (which is a personal training/massage company with my roommate) so we have been getting the website in order, along with brochures, business cards, etc.  I am just about 5 1/2 weeks out though from my show and I can’t wait!  SO far still going strong… lifts are no longer going up but still matching previous weeks lifts, although I can tell that soreness is starting to set in more, as well as tiredness, and recovery time.  Thats where things stand right now and I will try to be better about updating this more as time goes on now!

Sorry I have been slacking on the whole blog thing, I wanted to try to do weekly updates and I am trying to do my best at it, but when keeping up with a log at the same time its kinda tough.  ANyways, I have 9 weeks until my first show, and 12 weeks to go for my second show and so far things are still going good!  I am yet to see all that many changes, but I heard they start to come more often after you have been dieting for about 4 weeks so we’ll see what this week has to bring!

Ok, so I meant to start this blog last week when I originally started my cut but I tend to procrastinate.   So with that being said, I have one week down so far and 11 to go.   So far so good too, no hunger issues or anything like that but my cals are still up there so thats not that much of a surprise, but we will see as time goes on too if I am still saying that LOL.  Not sure how many people even read these but I greatly appreciate everyones support and encouragement that does!  I am gonna try and post at least weekly and keep everyone updated and towards the end I will try to post even more regularly as well.   Right now the goal at hand is my first figure show which is May 12, in Bellvedere, IL and then if all goes well a second show three weeks later that is June 2, here in Detroit, MI.

OK, so I am officially done listening to what everyone "thinks" is the best idea, or that they think I should be doing and so on and so forth!  I’ve made the decisions to do what I WANTED to do, and follow the peoples plans that I wanted to because I have complete faith that they will work and that they know what they are talking about!  SO the next 12 weeks will only go to show that to!  ANd if doesn’t then oh well, nothing is lost… there will always be another show

Okay this is probably gonna seem like the silliest blog ever   But… I would like to hear some suggestions on favorite cheat meals???  Trying to get them all outta my system before I start cutting and all I can seem to think of that I want is granola or maple pecans as silly as both of those sound LOL

Well started up a carb cycle about a week ago and so far seems to be going so so… not any noticeable/visual changes at least not that I am seeing (but we are our own worst critic too of course) but energy levels have been pretty good and lifts are still going up in the gym.  SO I would say so far so good, and its just another way to learn a little more about my body and see how it responds to certain things that way I will know from here on out

Well I have my goals set at a competition on June 2, 2007.  Its the Jr Michigan Bodybuilding and Melissa Frabbiele Fitness and Figure Classic….so I am finishing up my clean bulk and strength cycle here in a few weeks, then I will start cutting for that show after I decide what to do for a plan of action with a cutting diet
