Ok here goes - I would show my face but I'm shy... oh that and well it was a pretty serious face I was pulling - I still have to learn to pose (in the next 2 weeks - is the plan) but well at least a picture is up now - I compared to my last pics last year and there is real progress. Just down to diet and cardio now while not losing muscle - want to get those ab's in and lean everything else out - esp. my legs and butt!

You look GREAT! clap.gif

I don't know what you're talking about with your legs - they're coming along nicely. You'll kick some butt in your comp woman! thumb.gif

Thank you for your positive comments. I'm not so good at 'Putting myself out there...', probably very funny that I'm even doing a comp that being the case, but I love the sport!

So ah yeah, the date change... what to say? O.M.G :shock: is pretty much my reaction to the dates being moved, (that and a sick feeling in my tummy) I need time I tell ya!! It really sorta puts my plan out. There was already so much I needed to do and learn still, and I wanted to keep muscle as long as possible.

Oh well what do ya do? Anyone doing it is in the same boat, I will keep going as I have been (tighter where needs be!) and see what our trainer thinks of the progress at the end of this week and go from there.

I'm prepared to make a sensible choice and if I have to postpone I will or really push it and go for it - I love a challenge!

What does my little quote say at the bottom there? Something about a positive attitude ...

:wink:

Thank you for the positive comments - reading these makes me feel better about how I'm doing and if I'm on track... CARDIO DIET CARDIO DIET!!!! (New Mantra) I've even created a new Track list for my MP3 player called 'Running my arse off'.

:nod:

What category do you think you will enter within? Not sure if your event is weight or height etc ....

Entering in Novice Figure Tall - there is a weight requirement - guideline set out by NABBA:

"Figure Women

Class 1: Tall, Over 1.63m

Class 2: Short, Up to and including 1.63m

The following Height/Weight Rule will apply to Figure Women Classes from 1st January 2007.

Rule: Height (in cm) - 100 x 90% = Maximum Allowable Weight"

Yeah I did have thoughts on Physique - and yeah I do have quite a bit of muscle on my frame - but probably not as much as I'd want, to do that class.

How'd I know that that'd be the next question:

How are you currently stacking up to that height/weight ratio? You are carrying quite a bit of muscle

ahh yeah I'll be able to make the weight - I'm about 5-6 kg off making it currently - but want to do better than just under if that's what it takes. As this is my first comp it's all really un-known for me. Once I have one under my belt I will have a better idea on how my body looks, how hard it is for me to lean out & cut up, my muscle retention, what carbs & water do to me etc ... I'll just be stoked to pull off getting on stage at this point in time!

Plus I get to wear big 'ol sexy shoes while in a bikini on stage... what not to like about figure? :P

Ha ha

well I have some cardio to do - nice lunch time jog, walk, crawl... in this heat I think.

Heat? In Auckland? :P What are the temperatures like at the moment?

Ha ha - got me there

I guess I should clarify: The humidity! Not beautiful sun beating down heat. Temperatures are 24-25 if you go by the News Papers etc but getting up to 26 depending where you are. And today looks like a muggy one from where I sit in my office - the cloud may burn off...

All right then – Results of last weekends meetings with Trainers etc…

Friday:

Control the Carbs some more (as always none after 4 pm)

Ensure protein 2 grams per kg body weight, at the least

Start taking thermos,

3 x Morning cardio in Fat Burning zone – 5 min warm up: 20 min in zone: 5 min cool down

3 x Afternoon / Evening training on cardio days

I need to work my Rear Delts some more.

Start working on basic posing – practise, will use the mirrored boxing studio at our gym

Saturday:

Weight now 66.6 kg (after work out, water and Meal 1, clothes and shoes on)

BF% (with callipers) 10.7

Will run through posing with trainer and fine tune in 2 weeks

Purchased shoes for comp (got a really good discount, as I know the Suppliers)

Training Spilt still the same, just with cardio some mornings and some training moved to the afternoon on Cardio days:

Monday:

AM: Cardio & Abs

PM: Chest & Back

Tuesday:

AM: Legs

PM:

Wednesday:

AM: Cardio & Posing & Abs’

PM: Shoulders & Arms

Thursday:

AM: Legs

PM:

Friday:

AM: Chest & Back

PM:

Saturday:

AM Cardio & Abs

PM: Shoulders & Arms

Sunday:

Rest day all day

Thursdays and Tuesdays I may walk at lunch time or walk after work if I feel I need more cardio or have the energy – will depend on other life commitments as these are really the only chunks of time I have to do things like shopping, laundry, cleaning, visiting people. The get to my 2 week day evening trainings I am going to try to finish work early about 4 or 4.30 pm so I will have to work through my lunch time during those days. The things we do eh? Really, today I’m ok with not having much time and when I think about all the women who do it with Children to look after too – wow, I couldn’t! So it’s still easy and I know that my cardio sessions will be extended to 40 mins in no time at all. And diet will be very strict.

Had our first Evening training session last night with my BF, and while I hate training at night because its so busy, and I usually have less energy and motivation – I gotta tell ya I had a fantastic Chest / Back work out. Navigating between all the people (mostly men) was a challenge and having to wait for some things was annoying but we really went for it. I’m focusing on getting some more width to my back so all back exercises were using wide grip. I am really stepping up when it comes to my training and a lot of thanks goes to my BF who is a great motivator and works hard himself.

Diet going well – the old 3 pm slump is sometimes hard to deal with though.

I am really enjoying following your diary. It is awesome to read. I was trying to work out how much cardio you are doing (or are planning to do) each day. Can you give a summary like this:

Monday AM - 40 mins treadmill

Tuesday: PM 60 min bike etc

Or is it a bit too changeable at present to give a more firm guide?

Good luck with your day.

Thanks for your comments. And thanks for even reading.

It is a bit of a challenge to give the definitive amount of cardio that I’ll be doing as it’s really where and when I can fit it in but the fixed sessions are:

Monday: AM: 30 mins

Tuesday: PM 30-40 mins – walking after work

Wednesday: AM: 30mins and Posing practise

Thursday: None – or 40min Lunch time

Friday: None – or 40min Lunch time

Saturday: AM 30 mins

It’s not so much really, which is good and still includes training Monday – Saturday which is a cardio session in itself some days with the humidity at the gym and a high reps range!

Thursdays and Fridays will be some form of cardio if and when I can fit it in between my work commitments and the cooking, preparation, cleaning etc. I expect that the AM sessions will increase to 40 mins the 60 mins as the comp nears.

What’s your Posing practise consist of?

Just going through the basics. Manditory poses and working on holding them as well I can - Also seeing what looks best and what shows off the areas best. It's all beginner stuff here.

In further sessions with guidence I will then look at transitions into poses etc and finally how it comes together in a routine. Then it'll all be down to stamina and the ability to hold it together.

As I say beginner stuff - including posing with my heels on.

This is just a suggestion, when doing posing practice do at least 4 rounds of compulsory and 4 rounds of symmetry.. it’s hard work but will make a big difference to physique and to your confidence on stage, also IMO add more posing practice into your schedule instead of more cardio as you get closer to the date

Thanks for that, I will incorporate what you suggest.

I will be adding more posing - but I'm only a beginner, must learn to pose correctly before anything else.

It'll be increased cardio and posing towards the end that's for sure!
