Updates and Progress on this Journey

Its been a while since I have blogged my goal is to start this back up and update minimally once a week. My first show was in June and it was a lesson to me, the commentator stated I was about 15 to 20 pounds over what the idea bikini competitor should look like. At first this hit me hard and hurt my feelings, but the fighter in me decided to use it as fuel. To use it to take myself to the next level. So I trained for eight weeks morning walking and squeezing my glutes , hours of HITT on stair master, cutting carbs and fats , taking depletion week to the next level and I did it. With the help of a coach I was able to come down about 12 pounds and bring my best package to the stage on August 16 2014. I placed 2nd in masters and am now a nationally qualified bikini competitor. However this just isn't good enough I want to place in my height class (A) and tighten and lean out more for my last show this year on November 8. New Coach more diet tweaks and new exercises Here we go, I will take on this eight week journey I promise. Learn as I learn and watch my progress!

Progress is coming

I haven't blogged in a while, my apologies my goal was to weekly do my blog and progress as I go , I hope to keep up with this as I am now nine weeks out from NPC Oklahoma June 7 show , My biggest challenge is leaning out! I tend to bulk and pack on muscle very easily so what does this mean for me? More cardio I am going to start sprinting this week as well as ad hot vinyasa yoga at least twice a week, which means some days I will be going to the gym early twice. My diet is eggs, tuna, protein shake, more eggs, LOL! Really I get creative with my food and I still have some room to be right now my carbs are at 25% my protein is 45% and my healthy fats are at 30% right now , I am working hard on a come back for my stomach as I had surgery late June of last year and it seems to be taking a little extra work to get it back ! I can see weekly progress in my photos and will post those later ! Till next time Stay fit and in Faith Fit by faith bikini diaries Lisa Victory

Update February 6

I have been working hard to build my glutes and shoulders and shrink my waist , I know Its working because my glutes are busting out of my pants lol. I am looking forward to starting the leaning out process again, but through the rest of February its all building and very little cardio! Just wanted to fill everyone in on my progress Looking Forward to this journey and sharing it with everyone!

Januray 6 months out - Target show June 7

so being a competitor is a lifestyle and I love the lifestyle ! However I took last year off as far as far as competing . I didn't take time off from the gym or stop eating properly , I just didn't take myself as far or push as hard as I would if I had been competing. I have started my year off with a spiritual Daniel fast and cleanse, so right now I am eating on fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, so I am getting my proteins from powders mixed with almond milk and quinoa,and high protein veggies such as spinach. I tend to bulk really easy and fast and have been working on building my glutes and shoulders which are important, as well as getting my abs more defined. My goals are to eat more veggies and kicking the year off with the fast is helping me set the pace for the rest of my training. I am going to try the Garcina Cambogia, Green coffee bean and Raspberry ketones to see if they help with leaning out in any areas I will let you know my progress! I am looking forward to this journey again this year!
