Contest Prep for 2010 Provincials

[shredded_Tris]

So here's the big confession lol
Not really big at all but I said I would spill everything extra I am having.
17 Weeks out and my worst cheat over the last 3 weeks has been
-handful of popcorn
-600g of source yogurt = 210Cals
-1 Bite of my girlfriends spaggetti

lol So I'm doing pretty good so far. Can't wait to hit the gym tonight and do some shoulders. Routine is a little backed up due to severe stomach pain on friday. I think I may have eaten some bad Haddock or something.

Motivation is still high! Here is the comedy: People are telling me I am too lean for this far out.........AKA.........Slow down man your condition is going to be better than ours lol. Thats how I'm taking it anyways. In my mind I am right on track!

I'm going camping next weekend with my girlfriend for 4 days. So I am going to have to pack one "BIG OLE COOLER" full of food and stay away from the smores. Which shouldn't be too much of a problem. One of my best friends is competing against me and I know that I am much stronger mentally when dieting and that is my edge. Every time I think I wanna cheat I am telling myself thats one more week of conditioning he might be ahead of me by. He kicked my ass before and I want it to be between him and I this time for 1st and 2nd. It's going to be a blast either way but I would love to have my arm raised.
However, seeing the massive improvements I have made already I am very happy with how my physique is turning out. And the push from all of you here is great!! Knowing I have brought my legs up enough for people to tell me they are my strong point makes me feel amazing!!

Just to give you an Idea In Jan 2009 I was around 183lbs my legs were 20.5"
Now we are July 2010 and they measure 24" at 166lbs

1 more week until serious crunch time......CAN'T WAIT!

I am getting so tired of waiting to go balls out to get my condition!
I am tired of Waiting for this Competition!
I want wings and Ice Cream pretty damn bad!

Here's my daily rant:
I Love the sport of bodybuilding more than most people could even imagine. It's a passion to me! It's kind of scarey to my other friends that compete when I can rhyme off every competitor over the last 5 years in pretty much Atlantic Canada AND which weight class they were in and what placing they made. I follow the pro shows as much as possible and I just love seeing unreal conditioning from top guys and guys coming in NEW and swiping away the favorites title.
I loved seeing Ben White do that last weekend, he was SICK!

Anyways the point is to be this passionate about something and devote my life to making myself better for this show for the last year and a half has been a blast but I am getting so anxious and impatient!! I want to be on that stage so so bad!!! I wish it would go faster! A year and a half is a long time to wait for something you love so much!

Plus I just want a treat!!! :P

So Today got better real fast! I am in the process of making my life much much easier and convenient for this show by buying an eliptical. Getting it for a Sick deal that I couldn't pass up.
This is great because I hated getting up at 4:30am getting dressed packing my food for the whole day along with towels and cloths going to the gym and then having to eat breakfast at the gym and go straight to work.

Now I can wake up around 6am :P do an hour of A.M. cardio on an empty stomach, prepare fresh eggs :P not cold ones. Eat and shower in the comfort of my own house.......THEN go to work.

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner!

Hopefully your focus stays right through...On the one hand you sound ultra motivated, but saying things like you're tired of waiting, and wanting ice cream this far out. I hope you're not dieting too hard too early because those serious cravings only come within a month of the show (thankfully because a month of suffering is about as much as I can handle!)

haha yeah no worries Steve I'm fine. I have always had a bad sweet tooth so thats normal for me. However I want to win far too much to let myself cheat

Alright!
Weekly update!! ********16 Weeks Out******

It's Go time! Jumped on the scale this morning weighing 164.2 lbs
Cardio gets bumped up as of today.
30 min morning cardio every day through the week with optional weekend cardio
+20 min post workout.

Routine for the next few weeks will be as follows:
-Diet is the same as stated before
-Monday 30 min morning cardio, Chest, abs, and 20 min post cardio
-Tuesday 30 min morning cardio, Back, 20 min post cardio
-Wednesday 30 min morning cardio, Legs
-Thursday 30 min morning cardio, Arms and 20 min post cardio
-Friday 30 min morning cardio, Shoulders, abs and 20 min post cardio
-Saturday optional 30 min to 1 hour depending on weight drop

I plan on being show ready 2 weeks out so this is the game plan and I will keep everything up to date. New Pictures will be in 2 weeks time and every second week after that until about 6 weeks out then I will post more.

I feel great today! Survived the weekend eating only 2 timbits extra and an apple....maybe 10 almonds and replaced one shake with a 210Cal Supreme Protein bar for a little treat.

So this is pretty much a 14 Week Prep with tweaking saved for the end if needed hopefully not. My hope is to just hit my best and not have to worry about crunching extra fat off in the last 2 weeks.

I will drop a little cardio if the weight starts coming off too fast or vice versa with Cal decrease

I wanted to post this too but I forgot....It blows my mind to know how much a persons weight can fluctuate from morning to night just from food and water intake. No word of a lie my weight fluctuates roughly 5 lbs from morning till night......No Wonder I have to piss in the middle of the night lol

[natenator]

same here. 5-8lbs

LOL...wait till it fluctuates 10 pounds. Wait till you pee at least 4 times in the night, and your night only lasts 4 hours.

5 pounds should be a typical fluctuation even not pre contest. I think if you aren't peeing during the night at least once, then you're probably not hydrated enough during the day.
