MichelleRisley Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) 2/16/12: Weight:114.4 lbsMy body comp test came back 14.2% body fat (about 16 lbs of fat and 98 lbs of lean mass). I'm going to slowly begin transitioning into pre-contest phase next week. I won't change my macros to begin with; I'm only going to increase cardio and change my training splits.

MichelleRisley Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 2/18/12:Assuming the show I'm planning on doing is the same weekend as it was last year, I'm 15 weeks out. As of this morning, the website still says "date TBD", which is very frustrating. One, because my work schedule is set 2-3 months out in advance, and I don't want to plan my "peak week" for the wrong week; two, because the reason I couldn't do the show last year was because of a date change to a weekend I was working. I've emailed and called various contacts for that show. But, so far, I haven't heard anything back. If all else fails, there is also a show in July I was considering doing. As mentioned a few days ago, I'm going to ease into pre-contest phase this upcoming week. I'm considering a few different options for workout splits for the next few weeks (until my next body comp test on March 15th). And I'm also going to increase my cardio. I will wait to see what my weight does with these changes before I begin dropping my macros.

MichelleRisley Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) 2/25/12:I FINALLY heard back from the promoter of the show I was planning on doing in June, regarding the date. Due to the fact that he will be out of the country in June, this particular show will be rescheduled for later in the year. I will have to choose another show to do. As far as my plan to ease into pre-contest phase, I think I'm going to continue as planned. I may or may not end up doing a show close to the original anticipated date. However, I do have some photo shoots coming up (tentatively planned for April or May and May or June). So I need to be leaner for those anyway. But there is no need to be aggressive. I'm still not going to decrease my macros just yet. I'm only going to continue to increase my cardio. Additionally, for the next few weeks, I'm trying out a modified version of Derek Tresize's "Total Body-Mass Routine": http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/?page=article_total_bodymass. I'm curious to see if it has any effect in my lean body mass, while keeping calories high, and progressively increasing cardio. I'm also going to have one day in which I increase carbs up to about 325gm (100 calorie increase). It certainly won't be an all out cheat day. And I'm still giving myself the daily 60-70gm range for fat. So I'm hardly "dieting" just yet. This is just more of an experiment for the next few weeks. Even if I was doing the show in early June, I'd still have time to lean out. I don't anticipate having to lose more than 8 or so lbs of body fat. As of this coming Monday night, I'm finally back to night shifts (either 9pm-7am or 9:30pm-7:30am). YAY!!! And no, that's NOT being sarcastic! I prefer working nights. I'm a night owl at heart, and believe it or not, I actually get more sleep working nights than when I have to do evening shifts (1-11:30pm). Evenings just don't fit into everything else I do outside of my job at the hospital. I have been very sleep deprived for the past few months. And I'm sooooooo looking forward to being back on nights!!! I only have one night shift this upcoming week. But the following week, I'm working a block of 7 out of 9 nights (3 on, 2 off, 4 on). When I weigh in the afternoon, upon waking, after working a night shift, my weight is 1-2 lbs higher than if I slept through the night and weighed in the morning. So I will begin noting the time of day I weighed, as I did when I began this journal in late December.

Awesome job! can't wait to hear which contest you decide on! you'll kill it! Awww...thanks, Lauren! You will do great, too!!! I'm currently looking at one in July. But I have the first of two photo shoots on April 28th, which is just under 8 weeks away. So I'm leaning out for those. Plus I like being a little leaner than I am as warm weather approaches.

MichelleRisley Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 3/3/12:I have a couple of photo shoots coming up in April and May, the first of which is about 8 weeks away. I'm going to decrease carbs to 285gm, protein to 135gm, and fat to 50-60gm. One day per week, I will give myself an additional 100-150 calories (but only in the form of carbs or protein; fat will not exceed 60gm). Cardio will be increased to 30 minute sessions, alternating between intervals and low intensity. I am also going to add some plyometrics.
