Transformation Thursday

As the big day is almost knocking on the door I wanted to do another measurement before we start the water depletion next week. A lot of things changed since the last check-up, but not only my measurements but my trainings and my diet as well. 

To start with, I have literally no rest-day anymore. On 5 days I have my weight-lifting sessions consisting of 1 hour of HIIT in the early morning and an additional hour of intervals after my liftings. On the other 2 days I 'only' have to hit 1 hour of HIIT on an empty stomach. I am so happy that I have already written my exam last Thursday and that I can focus 100% on my preparation. I am so tired all the time, which is normal if you have to train every day and even 5 times twice a day... 

My diet also changed a lot. We already started the discharge last week, meaning that I don't have carbs anymore, except those you'll find in vegetables and maybe some in the meat too. But still I am allowed to eat 5 times a day and drink up to 6L per day, thank heaven. 

This weekend I will also begin my search for the evening-dress I have to wear on stage. I am thinking of something black, as I am convinced that this will be the only color that will still look elegant when I am that tanned. I also want the dress to be low-backed or backless and have a cut on one side so the judges can still see my legs. I really hope that I will find something that will please my ideas hehe. 

I have another big new for you: my bikini FINALLY arrived, but I don't have it yet as it is still stuck at the customs office... arrrghh! I really hope that it will be delivered by friday. I can't wait to get my crystal explosion bikini, I am so looking forward haha. (*cross-fingers*)

But now enough talk, here are my measurements: 

	5th of October	23rd of October
Weight	54.8 kg	54.3 kg
Body Fat percentage	18.3 %	17.1 %
Neck	31 cm	31 cm

Hips	83 cm	81.5 cm
Tights	51 cm	49 cm
Calves	35 cm	34.5 cm

Pant size	36	36

 

This morning's form after my cardio session 

June to September Transformation

So this afternoon Ken and I have been at our coach's again for another check-up. We couldn't do a mid-month check-up as J-M. was on vacation for a whole month, lucky he... However, we made a great transformation again, and we are both very satisfied with our form. And now that the competition date is almost knocking on the door, we are also changing our diets.

So here the changes: 
-On carb-days: Less spelt bread, afternoon snack changes from tuna/pineapple/quinoa cracker to quinoa cracker/apple/cod & before bedtime Iso-whey shake instead of Casein pudding.
-On low-carb days: Breakfast will be kiwi, egg-whites and cracker (time to say goodbye to my juicy yummy strawberries) and same here, no casein pudding but a shake before going to sleep.

A little change never killed nobody... But still, I am going to miss my juicy strawberries haha.

Since June I have made a lot of progress, but now the time has come to really get rid of the last percent of body fat and water retentions. I really want to get shredded as hell, not too shredded, but I want a good form even if it's my first competition. By the way I am about to order my competition-heels &-bikini soon. I am so excited already, but more of that in a future post, so stay tuned.

Nevertheless, as I always post my measurements, body fat percentage and weight, I thought to create a chart for the last time before starting the shredding-phase. Meaning, from monday onwards I will be in preparation and my transformation-posts will start from zero again:

	June	Mid-June	July	Mid-July	August	September
Weight	57.7 kg	57 kg	56.3 kg	56 kg	55 kg	54.8 kg
Body Fat percentage	27.9 %	24.6 %	22.4 %	21.4 %	20.2 %	18.8 %
Neck	33 cm	/	32.5 cm	/	32 cm	31 cm
Chest	86 cm	/	86 cm	/	86 cm	85 cm
Arms	28 cm	/	27 cm	/	26 cm	25 cm
Waist	68 cm	/	66 cm	/	64.5 cm	63.5 cm
Hips	89 cm	/	85 cm	/	83.5 cm	83 cm
Tights	55 cm	/	53 cm	/	52 cm	51.5 cm
Calves	36 cm	/	36 cm	/	35.5 cm	35 cm
Shirt size	M	/	M / S	/	M / S	S
Pant size	38	/	38 - 36	/	36	36

I wish you all a great rest of the week and dig deeper.
