Been dieting now since 15 weeks out. Had a local coach but I ended up parting ways with him due to personal matters.
So with a new coach, a new strategy and some fresh new motivation I'm ready to hammer out these last 6 weeks and step onstage for the first time this November
I'll post some pics of mine from 8 weeks out and update them next week after the new diet and cardio strategy sets into place.

Interesting day today. Girlfriend wanted me to come over tonight and hang out with her. While I do want to see her I'm pretty beat today. I work part time Security at a local night club and didn't get home till 3am last night, I was up doing cardio this morning and just want to chill out, relax and watch some SNF tonight (Go Jets).
She's been supportive of me this whole time, but when I told her I wasn't feeling so hot, and just wanted to relax she flips shit at me and basically ends things. Kind of depressing really, I basically just told her she was blowing shit out of proportion and we'll can make alternate plans when I'm feeling better.
So I'm basically just gonna hope she'll come around, leave her be till she does. If not I have a goal in mind and that's competing in 6 weeks, plus my career and life objectives too (I recently graduated with a Bachelor degree in Kinesiology (Sport Administration Concentration), so I've been trying to find the right career path). If she wants to be supportive and be a part of my life great, if not I'm sure someone else will.
It was just an unneeded stress today as she really is a great girl, who is also competing in the bikini division in the same show as me. Unfortunate but I guess life goes on.
Love the bum pic lol :)
Weight was 191.6 last night. At 10 weeks out I was 182, and the trainer I had up'd my carb intake and I went back up to 193. Been doing Keto - Dave Palumbo style diet right now just hoping to get back down and try to make weight for middle's which is 180.
Doing two 40 minute cardio sessions per day now, and hopefully we'll come in, in condition. Here are some updated pics from this morning @ 6 weeks outAttachment 27826Attachment 27827Attachment 27828Attachment 27829Attachment 27830Attachment 27831Attachment 27832Attachment 27833
Following along.
Make sure the scale is moving in the proper direction...upping your carbs? wtf was that?
You got time to dail it in. Get your cardio going. I see protein/ veg days in your near future. lol
Guy I was using told me I looked flat, so he up'd them to like 300 a day, I trusted him, but I started losing definition and was carrying a lot of water so I parted ways and let him go.Quote:

Looking flat is kinda what you should be looking like. What most people think 'looking flat' is, is actually looking ripped. Same as when people say 'dude, you lost a tun of muscle' - nope to that either. Muscle is harder to lose than most people think. You shouldn't have too much trouble making weight.
nice teardrop btw...
This. Excellent points Steve.Quote:

I'll post some pics next week and hopefully we'll see huge improvements from the Keto
Interesting day today. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but just keep everyone up to date.
Pretty sure I got some food poisoning last night after eating some Salmon I picked up at a local supermarket. After feeling fine all day yesterday, I decided to pay my parents a visit and they live in a community about an hour from where I currently live. I stopped at a local store and picked up some salmon and lettuce to have for supper with them. After 45 minutes after eating the salmon, I was stuck on the couch not feeling well. About an hour later I ate my last meal and went to bed.
I woke up this morning at 7am as usual to do my cardio but this morning I felt very weak, nauseous and dizzy. I ended up vomiting, and was doing so every 45 minutes till about noon. Been feeling better now, still a little weak. Just trying to focus on getting my meals in, not falling off course and I'm going to try later on tonight to get a cardio session in so I don't feel like today was a complete waste in the prep.
