Thanks a lot Bill! Lots of props to you for wanting to help your fellow Juggernauts out! Really, it means a lot!
I've been really serious about my workouts and motivating others with me. But do you have any advice on what I can do better or be a Juggernaut just like you?

Happy Monday, my fellow Juggz!
It a new week, a clean slate. Zach A. beat me to this question, ""what's the one thing this week I can improve on in my diet/training?" which I've been contemplating this morning on the way to work. I'm still 9 weeks out from my competition but I'm already feeling the butterflies flying around my stomach. Although my progress is a lot better than where I was last season, I feel that there's no time to slack off and make myself 3x better than I was. So for this week, I will be doing posing practice 3x, 20-30 mins each session so my muscles will get used to flexing in long periods of time and gain better presentation, starting doing cardio in the morning, will be putting in 2 cardio sessions in the morning before work this week, and go through my leg day session without cramping (Must get those lines back!)
My workout schedule is as follows:
Monday - Upper Body Day (Shoulders/Back/Lats) + Evening Cardio
Tuesday - Morning Cardio + Evening Cardio & Abs
Wednesday - Leg Day (Quads/Hamstrings/ Glutes)
Thursday - Morning Cardio + Evening Cardio & Abs + Evening Cardio
Friday - Maintenance Day (Chest/Triceps/Biceps) + Cardio
Saturday - REST DAY
Sunday - Cardio + Abs
I'm choosing to have Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to be posing practice days for this week.
Results I'm expecting for this week: Drop 5lbs, drink 1.5 gallons of H20 per day, and have my mandatory poses be at least 80% where I would want to be for the competition.
More updates coming on board tonight regarding Meals & Exercises for Upper Body Day.
Sneak Peak: So what's for lunch?
Brown rice, tilapia, hot banana peppers, and spinach. Colorful, isn't it?

Yes, it is a workout on its own. But then when you're on stage, you're being compared with other athletes and you may end up staying there for a very long time. Endurance really come into play. You actually would want to incorporate posing practices as soon as possible especially if you've never done it before because it is an art in itself. It's a lot of hard work - almost like learning how to do a split... your body has to get used to it. A few weeks before the competition, you should be already comfortable doing the poses so you can brush up on it and implement your "personality". It's all about presentation baby! ^.^

This week is my last week actually. But "cheat" meals usually for me are those meals that I can't eat other times. For example, I'm not allowed to eat salmon and steaks. But during my "cheat" meals, I do (and it is encouraged). I tend to come out small for the competition my trainers then revert me into eating steaks for the final week. I think cheat meals are ok - but depending what you're eating is what matters. That means no pizza or chicken wings for me here on out! (I feel sick eating those anyhow b/c I've been eating clean so it they don't taste as good anymore. Which is a good thing. But then socially, I do end up alienating others who like to eat them just because I turn it down even though I don't lecture anyone about it *sigh*)

I can relate to the alienating others'no one really knew what to think or say when I stated turning down junk food even when I explained to them my purpose and goal I don't think it really sunk in for several weeks I don't think they believed I was serious about cleaning up my diet. I'm glad to see your being very successful with your goals and look forward to reading and learning more from your experiences

I love your intro and self-description! I agree with what you said about helping and influencing others to live a healthy lifestyle. That is a truly rewarding aspect of being in the gym and living the lifestyle yourself - you get a chance to share and make a difference! Also, your supplement stack is FAB. Well rounded to both health and exercise performance. You will like the Infinite Lab's Whey Isolate - Strawberry is my favorite but the Chocolate is good as well. Good luck in the the contest!

Thank you =) You know what's fun though is when you lead by example, others start asking for advice. Some of my friends definitely didn't make it easy to transition into my new lifestyle. However, the results speak for themselves. Now, it's fascinating to see my phone blow up with texts and phone calls from friends and family who wants to also be fitter and healthier. Just imagine what would others be like around you within a year or even just a few months from now when you start showing results ;-) Definitely worth it saying "no" once upon a time!

Thank you! How are you faring so far? I still think it's great that you decided to compete for figure! I've met a lot of great gals along the way when I started competing. Such inspiration! I remember bumping into one who came from over 300lbs and is now 170lbs! Another gained 25lbs of lean mass and have killer looks. What's even more amazing is finding ladies from different aspects of life. My fellow friend is 52 yrs old and a lawyer. So when people say they can't do it, I have a hard time believing.

Hey JUGGERNAUT Nation!!!

I will be posting on my original thread that I used during the challenge. I encourage you to visit it often as I will be posting often. If you have a specific question, the best way to get it answered is to post on my thread as we anticipate the number of journals to grow and it will be hard for me to visit all of them on a dialy basis, but I will be on my thread as much s I can.
