I asked the trainer at the gym to take my bodyfat using the calipers. He is not my trainer but is very knowledgeable. He has competed for many years and knows his stuff. He measured the biceps, triceps, belly, and back. Unfortunately it was much worse than I thought! He told me 24.5! My bodyfat scale tells me 17.5 this morning and it was a shock to hear that. I was very upset and wanted to cry because of that. Now I know I really have to work my butt off on cardio!

Yesterday was exactly 5 weeks before my contest! I have had some bad things go on. The person who was supposed to help me backsatge can’t come! Ugh… Kind of sux! But I am losing weight and body fat and not losing muscle which I am happy about. I am still taking the dialene and it appears to be helping b/c the bodyfat is coming off. I am killing in cardio. I can’t wait till I can have some pasta. lol

I need some help. Please help me build my lats! I have tried pull downs, reverse pull downs, rows… please! I have had people suggest things but they are not helping.

Today was a low carb day and it was sooo crazy. I, for the first time, feel the effects of not eating carbs. My workout sucked! I could not get the normal weight and cardio I died I swear! Any suggestions on how to overcome the low on low-carb days?

I am slowly losing bodyfat and weight. Kind of scared I might not get down far enough. I got into a car accident Friday morning. I am ok and so is the car, someone was tailgating and rear ended me! I started high-low days this week yesterday was a low day today is high. In two weeks I am going to alter my suit so the straps that cross in the back are not to large. I am going to start tanning on the 23rd of this month. I have everything set up so little stress on that part. Not looking forward to valentine’s day because I can’t eat any candy and don’t have a boyfriend. lol I am trying to just focus on this competition and my teaching right now.

This week was the toughest week i swear! I missed 2 days of gym one because I worked both jobs and then one because of the damn weather. I need to get there everyday this week! No more rice in my diet high day-low day starts next Saturday. I kind of can’t wait I really want to see weight come off and for the bodyfat to come down more. 6 weeks and 5 days now. It is crazy! I tried to get a room in the host hotel and it was all booked so I had to book one down the road which is prolly gonna be about 100 bucks more! But I am glad I have a room to stay! I have made  my 2 appointments for tanning the night before and I have my appointment for my polygraph test. I now have everything set and just have to arrive and make sure I get on this diet!
