My goal is to compete next spring
Fitchick32 replied to Fitchick32's topic in Online Training Journals & Blogs
When I look at those pics above, my stomach is so bloated! It must be the diet transition. Today Bicep curls. 15 lbs x 20, 20 lbs x10, 25 lbs x 8, 6 sets I have never curled 25 lbs before! It must be the veggies! Tricep kickbacks- same as above Skull crushers-35 lbs x 15, 2 sets Dips 100 My diet was way off today. I'm trying to figure out the right combination of food for me! Hmmm, could try this tomorrow? 1. 1/4 cup oatmeal with blueberries and flaxseeds 2. Vega shake n go with hemp milk 3. Hummus on Ezekiel wrap, greens 4. Almonds and 3 oz sweet potato 5. Salad with tofu, olive oil, rice vinegar,broccoli -
Thank you! I posted some pics on my journal under "9 weeks til bikini comp". I am struggling with the new diet. My carbs are much higher than my protein intake. You seem to be doing well on yours! I went almost a year without eating fruit bc everyone said don't eat it bc of the sugar content.......I started eating it again last week! We can get those beautiful muscles!!!!!

Hi! Not a vegan yet, need help with a pre- contest diet

Thank you! -
Hi! I am new to the site and need some advice! I have been training for a year now and have lost 10% body fat. I gained quite a bit of weight after I had my second child. I looked in the mirror last year and said that is it! I am 32, 5'9, 148 lbs, bust 36, waist 28 and hips 35 1/2. I just started with a more natural diet. For the last year I have had nothing but chicken, egg whites, tuna, spinach and that is about it. I have been transitioning over the past week eating more fruits and veggies and I feel so much better already. I am having trouble with my macronutrients, I am consuming too many carbs and not enough protein now. Do I cut out the fruit? I started eating fruit again because for the past year I was basically told that fruit is bad bc of the sugar content. Mango is delicious!!!! Hopefully in 9 weeks I can walk across the stage for my first bikini comp! I need to lean out and not exactly sure how to do it. I think I need to start lifting heavy because I cannot see my biceps/triceps or maybe it is still the layer of fat there? Today I ate: 1. 1 tbsp vega shake n go smoothie, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup strawberries, hemp and almond milk, coffee 2. 1 oz. almonds, diet dew(my fave, need to cut it out) 3. spinach with 1/2 cup edamame, 1 oz tofu, 2 tbsp salsa, 5 greek olives and 1/2 cup of mango 4. Brown Rice protein shake(absolutely disgusting) with hemp milk 5. Tuna(sorry, I am still working on it) , 1/2 cup quinoa with red peppers, olive oil and lemon juice, mango sauce My total calories were 1371 and I can have up to 1776 on a cutting diet. I am over my carb limit and not enough protein. Today was a rest day but I biked for 30 minutes, burned 190 calories and then 200 twists.

Hi! I think the books and dvd's are great too! The only thing is the organization I want to compete in has different posing guidelines. This one poses more like figure which was strange to me so I will have to spend the money to get posing lessons.....From what I have seen, almost all bikini comps are the same. Just check the organizations posing guidelines to be sure. I have been training for a year and had to lose 28 lbs bc I gained so much with my second child. I am still not sure if I can be ready by Nov 2 but I am trying! This is a completely new way of dieting for me(just started) I am used to the standard bodybuilding diet and I am sick of it! I don't think it will take you that long to get bikini ready. You are already thin so it shouldn't take long. Maybe start lifting heavy? I think I am going to have to bc I am not making any upper body changes. Angela

You can do it! I am hoping to compete in my first bikini comp in Nov. There is so much to learn about competition prep. I am still learning. I found a coach on www.natural bodybuilding.com and she has posing lessons for the comp I am entering. They are expensive but well worth it. You may be able to find a coach in your area. Have you been to a show yet? Angela

Thank you Robert! I will start an online Journal! I calculated my macronutrients for a cutting diet and I am trying to come up with something that works. I have 9 weeks and I hope to look better and feel better for my first comp. I will try the tofu and tempeh too -
G'Day from Australia - wanna help me get fit?
Fitchick32 replied to Veglicious's topic in Introductions
Hi! Try the Spartacus workout and it will get you in shape! All you need is a dumbbell or kettle bell. I am still sore from doing the workout on Tuesday and I weight train and do cardio daily! There is a version by Funk Roberts and the standard version you can find on you tube. Let me know if you try it! It is great! -
Has anyone tried peaceful planet? All of the health food stores are out of Vega and I need something asap. I would much rather use Vega but this is all I can find.

Thanks but I don't feel well on that diet. I have been eating more veggies and fruit again and not eating chicken or beef. I feel much better. I just don't know what to eat 10 weeks out to maximize fat loss? Any ideas? Thank you!!!! -
My name is Angela and I have been training for the past year. I have been eating the standard high protein diet for competition training. I have 10 weeks until my first bikini competition and need to lean out. I am so sick of consuming chicken,fish,etc.... I really don't know where to start with a vegan pre-contest diet. Can someone help me? Thank you!
