SixZebra’s Workouts

Almost show time!  Feeling pretty good this morning, even though I overslept a bit.  I can see I’ve tightened up considerably this past week.  I think that I may almost be as lean for this figure show as I was when I was bb’ing!
YAY!!!!  THis self-imposed hell is almost over!!!   French toast, bacon and goetta here I come!!!!
My first meal today was:
150gms round steak
200 gms sweet potato
1/2 grapefruit
Pretty nice breakfast if you ask me!  I only get three more meals today but they are all fairly high in cals and carbs.

For all those who think that they should only eat 800 cals a day to a)lose fat, b)cut for a show -

I’m one day out - my total cals are:
calories - 1989
protein - 230.3
fat - 39.7
carbs - 181

Height - 5′7"
Weight - #135
BF% - 7%

So there you go!  None of this eating 1000 cal a day nonsense!!  NO DRUGS!  NONE! NO CLEN!  Just good old fashioned made-it-myself unadulterated clean food.
My macros will be somewhat the same tomorrow.

It absolutely kills me to see people eating such ridiculously low cal meals throughout the day.  I had a client write me up a food diary so I could guide him in making improvements.  He counted his coffee as a meal.  Poor guy.  I too was at that point at one time in my life.  Now that I know better I try my best to help them understand the why/why nots of eating healthy and staying healthy.

Well, I’m just waiting for another bodyspace member, OHTM to show up as we are doing the show together and we have our first spray tan together this am.  I’m really starting to get excited.  Later kiddies!

Ok, actually, its more like 60 hours cause I can’t eat the good stuff until after the night show.  Fish and some chicken and lean beef is on the menu today.  Fish.  I don’t have the words to describe my admiration/hate of fish right now.  Orange roughy to be exact.  I switched over from cod a while back cause the cod’s smell/taste made it impossible for me to eat.

Its a whole new adventure in the bathroom when you switch over to orange roughy.  You’re just going to have to eat it a couple of meals a day for a few days to understand.  Fish no doubt though is the magic pill for leaning out and tightening up!

so in about 60 something hours I have decisions to make.  Where to eat!!  I’m pretty sure we are going to IHOP but we’ll see.  Aside from a cheatmeal after the show, I’ll do one more cheatmeal for breakfast than back onto a clean diet w/o all the dang fish!

Well, 2.5 if you count what is left of today.  I can’t believe how much I’ve leaned out this past couple of weeks.  I think I will be just below 7% by show day which is totally cool!  Well, its only cool if you look good.  Hopefully I’ll look good at that bf%.

So anyway, did my last workout today.  Now the only sweating I’ll be doing is from posing practice.  Its been a loooong contest prep that’s for sure.  I’ve done shows pretty close together but never two shows 5 weeks apart.  It just kinda makes the dieting part seem like forever!

I heard that there could be as many as 15-20 girls in some of the figure classes.  Amazing.  I’ll have my work cut out for me for sure.  First show I placed 4th, second show I placed 3rd,  that would be awesome to get at least 2nd this time!  But I don’t want to jinx myself.

I’m starting to get a little anxious as the show nears.  I’ve got most things taken care of; hotel, tanning, etc etc.  Only thing really left to do is decide where I’m going to eat after the show.  I’m thinking IHOP for one each of everything!  But I will be packing a jar of peanut butter (jif) and some m&m’s for my pumpup and post show gluttony!

I guess I need to update my blog a little bit.

I’m two weeks out from my next competition.  I’ve been ready the past few weeks so i’m just maintaining and leaning out a tad more.  As much as I enjoy competing, I’m really ready for a break for the season.  And I’m really ready for something other than fish/eggwhites and chicken!  Actually what my body really needs is large jar of peanut butter, some honey and a qt of whole fat (yes good old vitD) milk!!  and maybe a little ezekial bread to put it on.
