Well, it's been what...two weeks since I started training. I'll freely admit I haven't been the best at keeping up with the diet or the training. I'm really bad about routine, especially with changing work schedules, but I'll get the hang of it. My new schedule allows me time to go to the gym either before or after work...or perhaps both!
Either way, with the diet (when I stick to it) I feel pretty good. It's still REALLY hard to eat so much food so often, but I do find that when I don't eat consistently I'm starving after 3 hours or so. I have turned into that geek with the lunch box! I might invest in a 6 pack bag, mostly for aesthetics but they seem so handy! My current lunch box holds maybe 3 meals but usually two is about all it can handle, and probably wouldn't be able to fit in a third if I actually used cold packs to keep things cool. Though usually there's a fridge available for use...that's always good.
Training has been really good. So far I've only met with Jed once for a training session but it was incredibly informative. He told me which muscles each exercise he had planned for me was targeting and the best form to use in order to isolate those muscles. With the competition the goal isn't just to get "big" it's to look like I'm not actually muscular but proportionate and still feminine.
Oh yeah, I went to see the Paradise Cup this past weekend. It opened my eyes to a lot of things. A couple of those being: my stomach doesn't need as much work as I thought (second pic shows how it usually looks, that's even after eating my post workout meal); lots of those girls had flat butts so as long as I keep working on mine I think I shouldn't have to worry about that part; and posing is probably going to be the hardest thing for me. It was good to see that and know that some of the girls who were competing in the Paradise Cup will most likely reappear in the Stingrey. There were a lot of them! I don't know how many for sure but they were all up on stage at once during prejudging and there were at least 35 girls. I'm nervous but not if that makes sense. I'm mostly doing this for me so whatever the outcome I know that I tried and it will be a fun experience. I'd definitely like to excel at this but just getting started right now is good enough for me.
Anyway, a few progress pictures here and I'll leave it at that. I'm starting to get definition in my arms/shoulders. No pics of the legs because, well honestly I'm not sure how to pose and take a picture of my legs so they don't just look like regular old legs, haha! Once I figure that out I'll post some of those progress pics up. Until then gonna keep hitting up the gym and choking down oatmeal!
