My journey into COMPETING AND WINNING!!!!

[MsLatina]

Here is my journal to go from fat to fit

Introduction
I'm currently in College and will be graduating in 2 years YAH I can't wait. Since most days I'm in school from 8-3pm Its so hard for me get all my meals in on those days. I know I need to plan well. Going to the gym and working out has never been a problem......it the nutrition that kills me and I believe that Nutrition is at least 80% of your results.

I will post a picture of me. UGH its an embarrassing picture but atleast I know once I get 100% dedicated that that my before picture will be nothing but history.
The current picture of me is embarrassing....but it motivates me more to just do what I have to do.

I currently weigh 165
BF 34%
Measurements are as follows
Chest 48
Biceps 12
U. Thigh 21.2
Admonial 40
Neck 13.5
Calves 13.5
Hips 41.5
I know I know DEPRESSING

I got this from another forum that I visit. And Im going to incorporate the training for thenext 5 weeks and then change it up.


MOnday
Upper Day 1
Heavy Horizontal Push/Pull
Light Vertical Push/Pull

Tuesday
Quad Dom Lower Body
Heavy Quad
Light Hams
Calves/Abs

Thursday
Upper Day 2
Heavy Vertical Push/Pull
Light Horizontal Push/Pull

Saturday
Ham Dom Lower Body
Heavy Ham
Light Quad
Calves/Abs

Side Notes
Horizontal Push - think chest work
Horizontal Pull - think mid back work (rows, etc)

Vertical Push - think shoulder work (for the most part)
Vertical Pull - think lat work (pull ups, etc)

So back is split up into two different 'bodyparts' - lats and midback are treated separately.

You can ensure, assuming it's set up properly that volume is balanced across the planes of movement


Cardio Plans are as follows
Sunday........HIIT & 45mins of Evening Cardio
Monday...... 45mins AM/PM Cardio
Tuesday.......30mins Cardio after lifting
Wednesday......Morning Intervals + 40 mins of Steady State Cardio
Thursday.......45mins of AM/PM Cardio
Friday ...........HIIT & Kickboxing class in the evening
Saturday..........YAH NO CARDIO

Hang in there and give it your best shot. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. The best thing is that you are working at it and with dedication and not giving up, you'll succeed. Also, I know what you mean about college hindering your time to do what you want, but college is very important as well. You are young and have all the time in the world.

Thank you spook that was really nice of you. Thats what I need sometimes Words of encouragement. But I know I will get on that stage one day!!!!!! and When I do it will be so special.

I ended up losing 60 pounds while I was at college, so it's definitely possible if you put your mind to it.

I have a bro name Cliff who trains at Main Event Fitness in ATL. He's one of my fellow competitors. Perhaps he, or someone he knows can guide you on your way. PM me if you like and I'll give you my name and stuff so drop it, if/when you call him.

Diet and training look pretty good. Go with it for a few weeks and check your results.

Dedication and determination is what you need to succeed! Stay strong in your mind and don't let little setbacks get you off track.
