3 weeks!

<<<< Monday I went to see my fav guys; Steven and Chris! Tosca Reno was making an appearance she gave me some great tips for the competition!

Last Saturday, we headed up North to Petawawa, we went to see some friends. It was COLD!! but very nice getting away from the city. It was a long ride about 8 hrs because we traveled thru a winter storm, so my eating wasn't the best but I stuck with protein bars (2) I had my meals that I had prepared ahead of time. Come Sunday we headed to Denny's for breakfast, this is where it kinda went downhill, I had 2 eggs well done 1 of them had the yolk, bacon, potatoes, whole wheat bread with butter and black coffee with 2 sweetener. Lets just say it was pretty filling! Didn't eat much on the way back home the breakfast really kept me full, I drank lots of water and I had another coffee half way home and slept the rest of the way. Needless to say, I didn't feel that guilty, I didn't eat any junk food or sugars and the next day I was right back to my regular schedule eating my meals and training!
I've realized that with the weather being cold and gloomy, not sure if its just me...but I find it much more easier to stick to my clean eating. Last summer I felt like cheating all the time lol. I guess this is the best time to prep for bikini weather!! GET ON IT!

So, its been about 3 weeks now, I have weighed and measured myself to show my progress.

*WEIGHT:115
*FAT:23.6
*MUSCLE:40.1

(INCH)
*BUST: 34.5
*WAIST:28.5
*HIPS:36.5

I've also taken some pics of my meals

Breakfast:

Black coffee, egg whites & broccoli

Chicken prep:

Chicken breast

Meal prep:

This one is Tilapia, spinach and eggplant

 



 

 



I pair all of my protein with GREENS! or yams

My meals are broken up into macro nutrients. Right now its 40/40/20 what that means is 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fats.
 

I basically do:

4-5 oz of protein

8 oz - 16 oz of veggies

8 oz of carbs

4 oz of fruit (am only)
I will also have my cheat days but 1 every 2 weeks!

 

 

 Below are some progress pics I took

 

 



Take care!!!

Hello! I'm sitting at 12 days! I've adjusted fairly good so far. NO CHEATING! not even a little bit. I really love the schedule and regimen of the food prep to the training. I love having to pack my lunches, snacks and dinner (ALL 6 meals!)

First 5 days so far

Its been 5 days since I started preping for my competition. I have to say its not easy but I have not felt hungry! considering I've been eating 6 times a day! from 3 to 6 meals is quite a jump but my cravings are more controlable and I'm eating every 2-3 hours. Its only been 5 days so I can only imagen the cravings will get a little more intense but for me its mind over matter. I prep ALL my meals ahead of time for 3 days and freeze them so its easy to get what I need and never go out without my meals! I noticed by doing this I feel less likely to grab something else to eat when I'm out. I've also done my body measurements and taken body shots. Just so you know I gained some weight over the holidays so don't be alarmed lol.

I will be measuring myself at the end of the month not every week the reason I'm doing this is because I want to focus more on eating lean and clean and training mean!

I measured myself on January 10 2013

• BUST: 35 INCH
• WAIST: 29 INCH
• HIPS: 37 INCH
• L. UPPER LEG: 21 INCH
• R. UPPER LEG: 21 INCH
• L.BISEPT: 10 1/2 INCH
• R.BISEPT: 10 1/2 INCH

WEIGHT: 118 LBS
APPRX FAT: 24.7%
APPRX MUSCLE: 39.9%

Just so you know these number will come down but will also increase as I gain muscle!

22 weeks!

Welcome to my first bikini competition prep! I'm very excited and looking forward to the next 22 weeks! it will be a life changing experience for me I know I will have my ups and downs just like with anything in life. Mark the date! June 22 2013! London, Ontario UFE Showdown! I will be gracing the stage for the very first time in a tiny bikini! I'm ready to work hard, train hard and eat right to feel awesome and look amazing! I hope to inspire many of you along the way, I know what its like to struggle with weight and not being able to focus on losing it and keeping it off. I've come very far and competing is a way for me to test my dedication to fitness and eating clean. I will be posting updates of everything I do and eat every Friday, I will also be posting progress pics. If anyone out there has competed before I would love advice and expert tips! or if your into fitness and clean eating I'm open to suggestions!
