So I am 6 weeks away from Physique Canada's second show the year. At present I am only registered to compete in Figure, but as,once again I don't think I have acquired enough muscle, I may pay the extra money to compete in the Athletic category as well.
Despite dropping 1.5 lbs this week, I am really starting to doubt that I will be ready in time. I procrastinated and half-assed my diet for so long that now I am having to play catch-up. I feel like despite being off all summer I only started truly dieting 3 weeks ago. So change is happening slowly.
Currently my carb intake sits at around 100-120g (including fibre) and I am doing about 50-60 mins of cardio 6x week with 5xweek weight sessions. I have a ton of energy and don't seem to be losing strength, so that is good.
Emotionally this week I was all over the map (but work started again and there were definitely some hormone issues too), but not enough to make me stray from my diet-that is a huge positive.
Some other physical positives are that I have more biceps and more quad sweep. My stomach is coming in too. I won't dwell on the negatives-I know what they are and they are going to be a work-in-progress right up until show time.
So today I am 118.5lbs. My last show I weighed in at 110lbs, obviously I would like to be lighter and leaner than that this time around. It's funny, I can't find my journal from last time-hence why I writing this here, so I don't know if my concern is justified or if this is where I was starting from then too. Really all I can do is stick to my plan and be the best I can be on the day.
