Hi guys! Dang...another week just flew by! I'm now 15 weeks out from my first comp of the year. May 23rd will be here before I know it! Going to do some skin folds and measurements this weekend-I came in around 18% body fat 3 weeks ago...I think that shall be down this weekend. I haven't done tape measures yet-so will start that this weekend with the skin folds. My weight is still holding right around the 54 mark-bouncing from 54.1-54.5k....I'm thinking if I can hold it or get just below the 54K mark by the 12 weeks out-I'll be in a good position for holding muscle during the 12 week diet-hoping for some continued muscle growth in the first 6 weeks...as it will be the last 6 weeks when I really start cutting down. That's my plan!
What's your plan? Even if you are not competing, but just trying to lose weight...do you have a plan? If your goal is to lose weight-I strongly urge you to make a plan...as the saying goes in the figure & bodybuilding world "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". If you aren't concerned about losing weight-then yeah, hey don't worry about it..but if you want to-or even perhaps NEED to for health reasons-you really need to plan out your eating and exercise programs-especially if you work; and you need a weekend plan as well.
I'm finding that many people find it very difficult to stick to their programs on the weekend when they don't have the structure they are used to during the week. One suggestions is to make a day out of your weekend a "free" day. Take a day off from the strict regimen...but make it a planned day. The key here, though, is only one day-the rest of the weekend should have a plan...though it won't necessarily be the same plan as the week days. As long as you have some idea ahead of time of what exercise you will or won't be doing and what you will be eating...you should be able to stay on a good, balanced, healthy track.
Have a great weekend!
Ciao for now!

You are so right again, you wise woman! The plan is the KEY to continued success! 99% of the time it is the plan that keeps me putting one foot in front of the other each day.
Your plan is looking good, I hope John is impressed with his star pupil!
I love reading how all you comp prep girls are going with the numbers. It is very interesting to see how different regimes work for different bodies.
I also feel a little jealous too. I would love to be on comp prep at the moment (I know, naive isn't it!!!). But I am sitting around 16% BF (from my last visit with JD), and I read all of your numbers (which are similar to mine) and I think DANG! I could be doing that too! Not to worry though, I am trying to be patient. Obviously my path is laid out a little differently, and this is my chance to build some MORE muscle!!!!! Could always use some more of that!!!!
Oh, have also organised my ticket for the Coral Coast comp. My bro rang up last night and has offered to head into Muscle and Fitness and pick a couple up. He and his wife have decided to come and watch too! Deep down I think he is a bit of a muscle head wanna be too!!!!!!
Have an awesome weekend lovely lady! Train hard, eat well and enjoy each day!
Time goes quick girl! I can't believe it will be THREE weeks out next week! WOW! Arnold here I come (Almost!)......I am craving the CARBS big time! Have a wonderful Friday!!!!
