Day One, Week Three of My Twelve Week Cut for My First Figure Competition.

I used this past week to reset my diet. I decided to go back to what I was doing (calorie and macro wise) for a couple of weeks. I feel back to normal today.  My weight is still up. But, it will probably take a couple of weeks to reach some sort of homeostasis. Last week I set my calories at 1993. But, I’m listening to my body.  I’ve gone a little over this a few times and under it once. But, I haven’t gone crazy.  I’m going to stay with the 1993 calories (40%C/40%P/20%F) for the next week (listening to my body).

Stats:

5’4″ Tall

Latest Body Fat Measurement: 17.4%

Daily Weight/Weekly Average Weight:

A giant bowl of post-workout Chocolate Cheesecake Protein Fluff. This is the sort of thing that helps me feel satisfied and full when I don’t have enough macros for Lenny and Larry’s Cookies.

Ben says I don’t post enough about the dinner’s I/we eat. Grilled pork chops, cherry tomatoes, and Italian green beans. Super simple!

Found this last week. Seriously, YUM!

I may have overindulged this week on a couple of these. Lenny & Larry’s The Complete Cookie-Double Chocolate. Toss one in the microwave for 15 seconds before you eat it, OMG!!!

This is probably my favorite breakfast right now. It’s oatmeal with lemon Greek yogurt and blueberries. This one has a few strawberries as well because I had a couple left over.

I texted this pic to Scarlet (my trainer) after she sent me a text that said, “No Slacking!”

I didn’t train with her this week so it ended up being kind of a strange week workout wise.

I use MyZone to track my workouts. It’s like any other tracker. I only wear it for working out. Sometimes I forget to take it off right after I workout so my workout time seems long. But, you can see by my heart rate that I’m not still working hard. It gives me a decent record of what I’m doing and my intensity.  I don’t usually teach cycling on Tuesday’s. But, it was Spring Break so I filled in for another instructor.

According to these summaries I burned 4474 calories this week. I don’t fully trust that number because, like all trackers, MyZone is a device that’s based on statistics. But, it gives me a ballpark.  Looking at these numbers (of calories burned) makes me wonder what the hell I was thinking when I decided to drop down to ~1600 calories a day to begin my cut! I’m still in a huge deficit if I stay in the 2000 calorie per day range. Which is why I was losing slowly before.

I’m interested to see how this week goes and where I end up.  Have a great week!!!
