Ok so I got weighed on Monday by my trainer, it wasn't pretty. I also got taped and I went ahead and did some more taping on my own. For those of unfamiliar with the phrase "tape" it's just where you take a measuring tape and measure areas like your biceps, waist, hips, etc..This is done to help you see your progress, are you gaining where you need to gain? Or are you losing where you need to lose, so on and so forth. Here are my starting measurements:
Height (unfortunately this probably won't change ;): 4' 11''
Weight: 154 :(
Biceps: 14''
Shoulders: 44.5''
Chest: 38''
Waist: 32''
Hips: 42''
Thighs: 23.5''
Calves: 15''
So my goal here is to gain strength and inches, where needed, of muscle and to lose the fat. My trainer mentioned a competition in March, so that is what we're aiming for. I will be strength training and building up to about December, then in December is when I will implement more cardio and have a stricter diet in order to lean out. So then you can see all my hard earned gains!! Typically competitiors who are already seasoned and in shape will start their serious competition training 16-20 wks before the big day. As with everything it's a process and to do it right you have to give yourself time. I'm excited for it though! I've been to the gym everyday since I've been back, and I swear I haven't been happier! Yes it really doesn't take much to make me happy. I'm a little sore, but it's a good pain :) My typical workout regiment will be 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on. My diet is going to be around 2000 cals. As it is the first week, I'm still trying to get everything buckled down and organized. Once I have a more consistent diet, and I have cycled through a week of working out, I will post my "typical" day, as in what I eat and when and what I workout. Thanks for following, I know the first few weeks will be kind of boring, but once I start making some physical changes, the updates and pics will be fun! Thanks again!
