12 Weeks to ABA Figure Competition Here I go!

OK - I have not done a lot with this blog, BUT... this is going to be my online journal to the ABA Competition in Phoenix, AZ on June 5th, 2010!

I am throwing my hat in the ring to compete as a Ms. Figure competitor! My bikini goal for March 27th has been derailed from lack of extra funds at the moment, so I am drawing a line in the sand and using the next 12 weeks to train hard building lots of muscle and burning lots of fat!

So here are my pictures from March 7 that I am calling my starting point. I will update them weekly to post my progress!

My plan of attack for training is to use a 4 day split with one day rest in between. I will do biceps, triceps and abs for day 1, back and abs for day 2, legs and abs for day 3 and chest, shoulders and abs for day 4. 35-45 min cardio after each weight training and a once a week spin class!

For diet, I am going to be eating 6 meals a day - including some "good" carbs to begin with and tapering off closer to the show. I will continue avoiding sugar and junk food! Eating lots of green leafy vegetables, etc! And of course lots of chicken, fish and other forms of lean protein.

My weight as of March 10, 1020 was 143.6, 19.8 % body fat and 43.4% muscle mass. My goal is to take measurements and weight on Tuesdays and Fridays to really track what is going on. Tomorrow will be scary and I expect to see a gain in inches and weight after my Atlanta trip and eating fest!
