WEEK 2, DAY 10

Still a long ways to go, but feel I have made good progress so far. Lost 2.5 pounds last week and 1% bodyfat. I'm hoping my weight will slow in a few weeks, if not I may have to adjust my daily calories. I'm not wanting to lose any muscle right now.Current stats are 102.4 pounds and 15% bodyfat. I know many of you are thinking geez! Why would I need to lose anymore!!?!?!? Well for the average person they would be thrilled with those stats! Lol...however, remember that I AM only 5 foot! haha...For contest I  need to get down to around 96 pounds and 10% bodyfat. I am focusing on trying to put on some muscle so hopefully my weight can stay to around 100 pounds for contest. Currently i'm eating 6-7 times per day for a total of 1600 calories. If I start losing muscle I will have to up calories for a few weeks and maybe cut cardio and heavier weights. Currently doing 4 days of cardio at 30-45 minutes with high intensity interval training. For those who don't know, HIIT is where you sprint/fast pace for a certain period of time and then recover, sort of a 1:1 ratio of sprint/rest. I am lifting 4-5 times per week with one day per week doing a circuit/bootcamp workout. Am starting to do legs twice per week , because I feel like my legs need to lean out a little and my thighs/buttox is where I carry the most fat (like most women!) Mentally I am staying focused right now, I am allowing myself 2 cheat meals per week which I usually choose on Friday and Saturday night. Nothing more than that though. Cheat meals will get fewer as the weeks go on so I am definately enjoying those right now to keep me sane! So far the eating/working out is very routine to me, but I'm sure I'm going to have rough days ahead of me! Especially when calories start getting restricted and more cardio is taking place!!! Right now I take things one day at a time...I wake up and figure out what am I going to do today to reach my end goal? Not really looking days/weeks/months in advance...In order to stay focused, i'm taking little steps and focusing on the day i'm in, and saying to myself, "Here's what i'm eating today, and this is my workout." Then wake up and do it again. Once again I appreciate the support from all those around me!! Thank you for visiting..many more to come!!!
