Competition Prep - Week 17 (4 Weeks Out!)

6/19/2016

7 Comments

 
Hey friends! I am feeling so much better now, way less bloated and gross. We are thinking I probably lost my period at this time, I'll keep you updated. I know it seems kind of weird to tell you guys about that stuff, but I think it's extremely important to note that it happens to a lot of girls, especially deep into contest prep. I'm actually extremely surprised it didn't happen earlier because mine has a history of being fickle anyways.

Lots of changes were made mid-week and at the end of the week, check it out! I'm sure you're thinking "OMG she must be so hungry!" Actually, I have not had any hunger issues because I've been eating so much volume food. You really don't have to suffer unnecessarily while dieting or in contest prep. Sure, it may have it's difficult times, but you just have to be smart about it and use a few good dieting strategies. Also, this is the ULTIMATE "first world problem", for real. There are kids starving all over the world and I'm trying to hit my macros so I can do my best in a bikini competition. Perspective. I'll save that post for another day.

*Low:High Ratio = Low macro days:High macro days. For example, Week 1 I had a higher macro day every 4 days.
**Cardio = The first number is the times per week. The second number is the amount of intervals. HIIT = high intensity interval training. SS = Steady state cardio (110-140BPM).
***NW = I have been advised not to weigh during this week due to my "time of the month" and the weight fluctuations that happen with it.
Also, I am posting half-week check in data only if changes were made.

YES I totally agreed! Much bigger problems going on in the world...although doing a show is important to us. In the grand scheme of life it is not that serious! Unless your a pro and this is your career, it really isn't something that should be so stressful. You're doing great Kait! Keep on grinding!

Cait...can you share any info on how your HIIT sessions are structured? Particularly curious about what your rounds look like? What you might do and how long your work/rest is? Thanks!

Too much of graphics increases the file size and the site automatically takes longer than usual to load. This only puts to test the patience of the visitors, who then look for the next best option and log out from your site.

Viewers and gamers must not have trouble navigating your site. Designers separate pages for games that are free and those which are paid ones. Those who are looking for the free gaming sites must not be forced to look into the paid options.
