6 weeks out we are cutting down on fats, calories and carbohydrates!
If you are still eating fruit, cut them out completely!
They are a healthy food, but also simple sugar!
At this point you want to be 100% on your plan…
If you are going out to eat, bring your own food!!!
No worries, the Restaurant still makes money on the other person that eats with you 🙂
Increase water intake slightly!
You might be feeling light headed at times, forgetful, irritated, moody, no patience for anything….
Thoughts like:” why can’t my co worker/ family members/ friends stick to a better diet and workout program ?”
All of that is normal!!!
It’s okay 😉
Just make sure your loved ones know what you are going through, or show them this blog (lol)!
Your hormon levels are all whacked out by now…
You are tired and deprived of your favorite joy…

Getting these Competitors ready 7 weeks out!!!
Women have to diet a little stricter than men…
Less calories, more cardio, a.s.o….
As you lower your body fat, your estrogen levels fall and your testosterone levels climb!
While for men this might feel amazing…
Sex drive to the fullest ….
Feeling invincible…..
Women will get emotional!
Have no patience.
Cry easily…
Still see flaws….
At this point girls will have to cut all simple sugars including fruit!
You will feel hungry and weak most times!
Thinking about wanting to get this over with …
Feeling amazing and beautiful, but again… still seeing flaws….
Most of these symptoms appear with first time competitors or girls that haven’t competed in a long time!
If you are competing in more than one show per year, your body will remember and adjust quickly!!!
I have been competing 19 times, and my body goes automatically into competition mode!
Remember that everything you are feeling is normal 😉
Make sure you are ready to prepare your family .
Tell them to be patient and ask them for understanding!
Going through the process of entering a Competition is a amazing thing!
In the end you will realize that you did it!!!
You stuck to this diet.
You worked your butt of in the gym.
You had no excuses for cardio!!!
Focus and determination will lead to success 🙂

So many times we sit in a counsultation were the possible future client may say : ” I am to old for this”, or ” I will not ever be there”!
What a crock of …..
It is never to late to change your health, your fitness, and your body!!!
Age is a number!
You had children? So did someone else….
You gained weight? Time to do something about it!!!
You are to tired? Kick your own butt and force yourself to move!
It’s to hard? There is no magic pill …
You will have to get of that couch ;()
There are no excuses!!!
I meet single mothers every day working two or three jobs, but still find time to take care of their health!
Break that habit over overindulging in fatty foods and high calorie snacks.
Break the habit of being to comfortable to fit in your cardiovascular workout.
Stop being spoiled and comfortable and schedule your workouts!
Stop using excuses!!!
It is your health you are playing with…
Your body image and weight….
If you don’t make an efford, why should someone else?
The matter of fact is that you are responsible for yourself!
You can not put this on someone else!
Change your habits!!!
How?
First write a note of what will be different:
” This week I will cut out sodas and drink one gallon of water every day”!
” I will limit my alcoholic beverages to the weekend”!
” I will exercise in some way 5 days this week”…
” I will incorporate more fruit and veggies”!
Have a short term goal !!!
A 2 pound weight loss for this week!
Losing one dress size this month…
A.s.o.
It is true that as you get older it will be harder to lose weight.
After the age of 30 we are losing 10.05% of over metabolic rate every 10 years, which means at age 60 you will have lost more than 30% of your calorie burning machinery 🙁
Increasing in muscle and staying on the lower end of your body fat range will help dramatically in maintaining a higher metabolic rate!!!
Gaining muscle can happen at any age…
Losing body fat can happen at any age…
Being willing to do so and stay consistent is up to you 🙂

We heard this before!
Female Athletes stop ovulating and lose their periods because of overtraining and muscle to fat ratio!
Happens to most athletes, but is most known to gymnasts!
Funny that this will also happen to most Competitors!!!
It has nothing to do with testosterone injection…
Woman are meant to be higher in body fat than men simply because we are producing estrogen not only in our ovaries, but also in our fat tissue!!!
That is why later in life once a woman loses ovulation and doesn’t produce eggs to anymore, her body will hold on to fat tissue to make up for lost estrogen!
In competition training we are trying to get rid of our body fat to get that lean tight look while increasing muscle to shape and sculpt our body …
As your body fat decreases and your muscle mass increases your body will automatically produce more testosterone ( in your ovaries) and less estrogen ( in your fat tissue as well as ovaries ).
Within weeks of your program you will notice irregular cycles first.
Having your period twice per month, or skipping one month.
You will notice this if you are not on the birth control pill or similar methods.
Of course with some exceptions (me) that are still ovulating even in a 8% body fat range…
( I envy you)
Even after your program is done and you have increased calories and decreased workouts, increased body fat slightly more to a healthier range, your body may still need some time to get the signal
” we are back to normal”…
That’s why it is important to let yourself go back up slightly in body fat between competitions!
No ovulation can also lead to bone loss….
Just remember like being a little more emotional during this program, crazy cycles are somewhat normal as well!
