I take a multi vitamin every day and vit c

I do cardio first thing in the morning before breakfast, 30 mins power walking with my dogs and about 30mins on the cross trainer after my weight training inthe gym. I train using heavy weight but not so that it ruins my form.
My arms and chest are my weakest bodyparts and have great difficulty dropping fat.
I would like to compete at some point but dont have the confidence yet to step up on stage as I dont think my body is good enough, Im interested in Figure comps but they dont seem to popular over here yet.
Any advice anyone could give me on my training a diet will be greatly recived, I dont get any support and train alone, I get all my info from magazine! Hope to hear from somone soon.x

Hey welcome! :)

Can you post what your calories are, along with your percentage of fat/carbs/protein per day? If you don't already, you can start yourself a free diet journal on http://www.fitday.com (best site ever).

So right now are you building muscle, or trying to lose excess fat?

You need to eat protein with every meal. (ie: add tuna with the rice cake snack)

Are you often hungry? This doesn't look like a lot of cals... It's good that you're eating small meals throughout the day (thumbs up!).

You need to organize your workout days into LEG DAYS, BACK DAYS, CHEST, etc. You shouldn't train the same muscle group more than twice a week, or on consectutive days. Decide what muscle group you want to focus on, and train that first in the week, after a rest day.

That's all I can write for now (time's limited for me right now!). I'll check back in on ya and see if I can offer more advice on your training and diet.
