    Default Starting my off season

    I just finished my 3rd show of the year, competing in the Nationals which were held in Southbeach. I finished Nationals in 8th place, the feed back that i recieved was, im alot more muscular than most girls in my height class, which is figure A, so i need to come in a bit smaller. My trainer has already modified my training and diet plan for my off season, so my main focus is to bring up my upper body a bit and to keep everything else tight.

    I keep a Journal, and it has helped me stay on track!! I love it. I write down the times I train, when I eat my meals, when I do my cardio sessions, and everything seems to be so much easier!! It is a great idea

    I love your look. Ever think about competing in the women's physique division instead of trying to get smaller?

    You guys with the huge sponsor ads in your signatures make reading the forums annoying.

    I totally agree with you, but unfortunately the Figure division has changed to borderline Bikini at the National level. Lol

    Well its been 2 weeks since my last show, and i been ENJOYING my off season by indulging in AWESOME food and taking a break from all the heavy lifting. Right now im only training 4 days a week, eating clean 5 days a week, and having cheat meals the other two days. This will be my longest off season, cause i dont plan on hitting the stage again until July 2012.

    Default Maintaining off season weight

    Its been almost a month since i started my off season, and ive been doing great with staying 5 to 6lbs off from my competition weight. With the holidays quickly approaching, i must have the STRENGTH, to say NO to that second helping of SWEET POTATOE CHEESE CAKE PIE UMMMMMMMMM. Lmao. This offseason will be about 5 months, so i have a challenging road ahead of me to maintain my weight.

    Default Excited for the upcoming season

    As the New Year is quickly approaching us, ive been blessed with an amazing opportunity for the upcoming year, contracts are still be negotiated but either way im ESTATIC. Ive been doing good with staying on top of my training, but i kinda fell off my diet for about a week and i feel HORRIBLE. LMAO. I plan on going to the Los Angeles Fit Expo to do some Networking and load up on free product at the end of January, i hope to see some of you there.

    Hello, I've been on an off season diet/workout since last June and am way passed 5-6 pounds of my last competition weight, but my coach made some adjustments to my meal plan and I'm maintaining..he tells me I'm on track, but I still feel 'fat' even though I weigh 115 right now. Good luck to you. I'll be following your journal and progress. take care and Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year to u as well. Dont worry about feeling fat, we as competitors go through a phase of feeling fat during our off season cause we are so use to seeing ourselfs lean most of the time during our competition season. LOL.

    Default Staying on track

    Ok, so its been a while since ive wrote in my journal, ive been super busy with work, and training. This off season has been amazing, im so proud of myself for staying 6 to 7lbs off from my competition weight and staying on top of my training.. My goal for this off season was to focus on bringing my legs down and my upper body up, so ive been lifting heavy to bring out my back, lats, and shoulders, and ive been doing alot of running, and light weight, high reps to bring down my legs.
