[biggurl27]

Thanks Poos getting there :grin:

I get a mental picture of you storming round the gym like a dominant female lion giving all the other females " don't f*ck with me " looks.

It's a good idea to have a banana after a workout if you are not dieting, but if i was you i would flag the bananas from now on and replace then with 1/3 cup of oats. Since you are a smoker i would also be taking a multivitamin twice a day with meals and 3 or 4 chewable vitamin c tablets in between meals and maybe a calcium supplement as well. If you want to try and maintain the most amount of lean muscle you could also consider bcaa and/or hmb. All of the above are fairly cheap.

The BCAA is really a good idea when dieting, apparently it helps tremendously with preserving muscle mass during calorie restriction. The trick is to go high on it, in the region of 30-40gr per day. I bought mine per half kilo, in bulk from a online supplement shop and then its not to expensive.

Definitely felt that it helps with my recovery after hard training. Don't have much experience with HMB but from what I've read it would be a good add on.

BCAA is really good stuff \:D/

To the Max

Thanks for the advice Diamond. I eat a banana+protein for breakfast and I can supplement this for oats+protein but this is what I choose to have at the moment. I have kumara at lunch/dinner still. I have the best trainer in NZ and my carbs/fats/protein is closely matched and take multi's and vit C. I will be doing my skinfolds every fortnight sometimes weekly and monitoring my BF%,weight and most importantly my muslce mass%. I am on track.

I just do my thing at the gym and train hard. Your assumptions are pretty crazy given you don't know me but cheers for painting that fine picture for everyone.

OK 11 weeks out:

Weight: 69.6kgs

Body fat: 16.4% high reading (15.2% average)

Muscle: 59-60kgs approx.

Taking this into account I would hope for 62kgs ideally, last comps I was 64kgs each time and not quite as lean as I would have liked. Leading up to comp (both) last time I got leaner whislt still put on more muslce mass, though only very small gains, better than loosing, so hope to do this.

Bit grumpy today, sorry. Didn't sleep well my new fat burners iSatori Lean System (starting taking yesterday) kept me awake most the night and then when I did sleep I had night terrors woke up screaming with my throat swelled shut, soaking wet and 2 dead arms (totally asleep), it was freaky. I have an anti-inflammatory throat spray and skipped cardio this morning. Feeling fine today just a sore throat and grumpy. Off to docs tomorrow to have a once over.

Don't apologise for being grumpy! Its your journal and you can cry if you want tooo (cry if you want tooo.. cry if you want tooooooo... \:D/ )

The sideaffects of the fat burners sound intense :shock: Good call on going to see the Doc, if anything, just for your piece of mind.

[biggurl27]

Thanks Poos :grin:

The same as diamonds contest weight!

That is good biggurl...

[diamond]

Hang in there biggurl, dieting is never fun, but it's only 11 weeks till the show and you can drop that last bit of weight easy.

If i ever start getting the dieting blues i just try and picture the end result and visualise myself up onstage in really good condition.

[diamond]

[biggurl27]

I is sick, like glandular fever, having blood tests done tomorrow, no gym in 4 days!!! Might try tomorrow but all depend on how I feel, struggle just sitting doing nothing.
