Today begins the first day of gearing up and cracking down to prepare for my first Figure Competition. I think the hardest part of this training is going to be the diet. Although I currently eat pretty healthily, I love greasy bar food and love sweets.
Why compete? I am always looking for something athletic to do. Since graduating college in 2004, I have competed with Fort Lauderdale Masters swim team, completed numerous triathlons including the Disney Half-Iron man and a handful of half marathons. Over the past couple of years I have been told by a couple different trainers that I should try and compete, it is only this year that I have agreed.
The competition I am gearing up for (with the help of Vanessa Van Overmeer) is July 24, 2010 (13 weeks away). Although the competition is not based on weight, I am still going to do a weekly weigh-in. My starting weight is 126.6, as soon as I download my starting pictures I will post them too.
This mornings' workout went well, it was my first day using BCAA while training and so far so good. I did a fully body weight session, using 4 circuits: utilizing free weights, kettle bells, Bosu and pull-up machine.
