Saturday, Day 62
Saturday was leg day!!! I have really been liking my leg days during this building phase...the workout is so challenging and I really have to push myself through it. But it feels so good to see that I am making progress, and also getting stronger and increasing weights!

Sunday, Day 63
Today is Sunday, and rest day! I work on my usual food prep for the week, and spend some relaxing time watching movies with my boyfriend and catching up on some reading. My son returns from a field trip to Delaware very late tonight...getting back to the school after midnight...so it will be interesting when my alarm goes off at 4am tomorrow morning for fasted a.m. cardio. But I WILL DO IT!!!

I spent a lot of time this weekend watching live stream of the Arnold (thanks to bb.com) and following along on ******** and instagram. It's always so exciting and so motivating to see all of the hard work the athletes have put in and see them on stage! All of that really got me excited for these final three weeks of my build phase, and really looking forward to cutting! So excited for my next show at the end of May! I am on a very tight budget, so was not planning on getting a new suit, but I started looking around for some deals I found one that I absolutely love!!! So, I have found a way to budget it in, and now even more excited to step on that stage! My last show some friends and I did our own tans and they turned out really good, that saved a lot on expenses so will be doing that again for sure! And...this next show, for the first time, I will be doing my own make-up (with the help of my awesome friends who compete in bikini and they do their own and do an amazing job! They are very happy to help me, so very grateful for that!

M, I am sure you will find a way to cut corners and still look awesome! I would suggest buying your shoes from EBay, they have a large selection of acrylic heels that are inexpensive. Also, there are at least two ladies on Etsy that make amazing competition suits ...should you need one. Best of luck in all you do! ~Erin

Thank you Erin...yes, I can be quite clever when I want something! Etsy is where I found my suit!!! It looks like I am going to be able to buy it next week! I am going to wear my same jewelry, I love it and it is still in great condition. I still have my heels from when I did figure, but no more heels for me, we do not wear them in Physique so at least I do not need worry about those wearing out and replacing...some of my bikini friends are already having to buy new ones!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and for your support. I really appreciate it!

I am still working it out... right now the diet/meals has been the issue.

Ah yes...that's always the biggest challenge with our families...but that too will work out!

***************JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT******************

TIPS; VALUABLE FOOD/SPICES THAT WILL ASSIST EVERY ONE WITH THEIR WEIGHT LOSS GOALS.....PLEASE READ, IT WILL BE WORTH YOUR WHILE....

You Juggernauts by now know that The key to weight loss is taking in fewer calories than you burn,( or burn more calories then what you take in) but what you eat can give you tremendous advantage. The meaning of " you are what you eat" is really the truth, food is nothing but a bunch of chemicals that unravel during digestion and become part of your body. The key is to eating foods that help your bodily systems run smoothly and optimally, so your energy and metabolism stays set to high. Here are a list of foods/spices to stock up on that will help you burn fat and calories.
My first choice before anything else is to combine Infinitelabs Carnitine MTX ( turns fat into energy ) and Phenyl Core ( Amplifying your metabolic rate, Cutting excess fat,)(alpha lipoic acid) then i seek out these foods/spices and include them into my regiment;
DID YOU KNOW!
- Spicy foods. Cayenne pepper, one of the best fat-burning spices, burns calories by triggering a thermodynamic burn that lasts hours after eating. Hey,
- Cinnamon added to food helps your body to metabolize sugar 20 times faster and lower your body’s blood-sugar levels.
- Ginger is a vasodilator, meaning it expands the blood vessels and increases body heat and metabolism by 20%. Ground, pickled, candied or fresh, it works in all formats to burn fat. Ginger's vasodilation properties also means that it detoxifies your body as it stimulates circulation.
- Citrus fruits, it's the vitamin C that is the fat-burning component because it reduces fat’s effectiveness and can liquefy or dilute it so that it exits the body. Add some lemon to your water, drink orange juice, and eat grapefruit in the morning.
- Apples (along with berries) are a fantastic source of pectin, which limits the amount of fat your cells absorb because of its water-binding properties.
- Soybeans contain lecithin, which helps your body to keep your cells from accumulating fat.
- Bananas have approximately 450 mg of potassium, a naturally occurring chemical that boosts metabolism and regulates the body’s water balance.
- Salmon, along with tuna, herring, and mackerel, are all excellent sources of essential fatty acids, or EFAs. Consume fish regularly lowers levels of a protein hormone called leptin, which has been linked to a slower metabolism and obesity. Eat EFAs in the form of fish three to five times a week.
- Garlic is a natural antibiotic, a blood sugar regulator, and also works like a thermogenic in the body. It boosts metabolism and keeps insulin levels low to maximize fat burning.
- Calcium and protein in low-fat dairy products promote weight loss and help to maintain muscle mass.
- Tea, especially green tea, is rich in antioxidants that have been proven to speed metabolism,
- Eggs contain vitamin B12, which your body needs to metabolize fat.

This is great information Joe! Thank you so much for sharing!

Okay, catching up on the last half of Week 11 of my 12 Week build plan...

Thursday, Day 74
A.M. fasted cardio, intervals on the elliptical. Then back to the gym after work for back.

Friday, Day 75
Off day from lifting, so double cardio. A.M. fasted cardio before work and then back to the gym after work for steady state cardio. And...I have my last cheat tonight! Last one for 10 weeks! I had to have my favorite...a big bowl of gelato

Saturday, Day 76
Hit the gym today for shoulders and also did abs. I have not been targeting abs specifically during these past 11 weeks. I've only done them a few times. With the training I have been doing, especially my back, I have really been working my abs and have seen some good improvement and added muscle.

Sunday, Day 77
Today is food prep, getting myself ready for my new plan and relaxing...my weeks are so busy I love when I can enjoy a lazy Sunday and even watch a few movies!

I am now 10 weeks out from the Jay Cutler Classic, Boston. Instead of finishing off the 12th week of the build plan, I am starting my cutting tomorrow!!! I have a lot of work to do, but I am really excited. I am in a much better place at 10 weeks out than my other shows. I am still a newbie at this, so it's still so much learning about what works for my body, and how my body responds to different things.

I have my new training and nutrition plan, received my Final Cutz on Friday (and actually started taking that yesterday) and I am ready to do this!!!

I just took these pics this morning, 10 weeks out....

[balls2dawalls]

yeah buddy!!!!! I see some fantastic gains were made.

Great pix! That color green looks really good on you, too! Best of luck with the prep for you upcoming show! We'll be pretty close to comp days too.

[melalicious]

Thank you Manny! I am very please with my gains! It's really nice to see progress...especially now when I practice my posing it's really noticeable!

Thank you David! I do really like this one, but I actually just bought a new suit and sold this one to help pay for it Thank you, and best of luck to you too! It's always cool to be in comp prep with others, so it will be great for me to have each other for support and to encourage one another. I am looking forward to it!

[lschepis]

Gettin in comp mode..way to go Mel, exciting!

When I was at the Arnold, I wanted to get a comp suit just for ****z and giggles and then I saw the price tag and almost fell over! 450??? I didn't get it.

Yeah for no more high heels. Sorry to say but that just looks so silly on stage!

Thanks so much! I know, the suits are so expensive!!! I found one at a good price and I am selling my other two (already sold one, an the other will sell for sure!)...so that helps for sure! I wore heels when I did Figure, and then when I switched to Physique no more heels...such a difference when I am standing next to my bikini and figure friends back stage!

Just wondering how things are going? I know you're crushing it out there, keep up the hard work.

Thank you so much for checking in, I really appreciate that! Cutting and comp prep is going really well! The build plan that I was on set me up really well...the nutrition, training and cardio was designed for me to make improvements in the areas that I needed to work on, as well as gain some muscle, but also get a little lean. Now the cutting is going so much easier, and I am in a much better place at this stage than previously. I am 5 1/2 weeks out to the show right now and feeling feeling good! I have also been spending time practicing my posing, but I do need to get my butt in gear and spend more time on my routine!

Thanks again for stopping by, I really do appreciate it!

The Easter Bunny left me some dark chocolate m&m's...I will not be opening them until after my show... 5 weeks out!!!

[balls2dawalls]

I was looking for my chocolate bunny all thru the house yesterday, but turns out my lovely wife knows better than to tease me with something like that during prep. You have an admirable will power to resist having it in the house for 5 weeks.

BTW - Abs looking great.
