Back to the Grind, 10 Things I Love About Dieting, Figure Competition Prep. (17 Weeks Out)
Yesterday marked 17 weeks out from my 2nd figure competition. I’ve finally, in the last couple of weeks, relocated my motivation. Winter is a mentally rough time of year for me. I abhor gloomy mornings, grey evenings, and the bitter cold! It’s still frigid and pitch-black outside by 6 pm. But, my resolve somehow felt…
I Need a Goal
Clearly I need a concrete, physical goal. I was supposed to reevaluate my macros on the 16th of October but I obviously couldn’t think of a good enough reason to stick with my macros on Saturdays and Sundays so nothing changed in that 28 days. I didn’t gain, but, I didn’t lose either. So I’m…

As of Saturday, May 13, I’m 3 weeks away from my peak week and 4 weeks away from competition day! I thought it might be fun do do one of these “What I Eat in a Day” posts at this point. Here’s what my macros are set at now (I probably won’t go any lower…
