Well, it's that time again. Next contest is in 7 weeks. It's hosted by the OCB and is a Fitness Model competition. It also has three parts: how photographic you are (you send in pictures), a bikini round, and a fitness outfit round. http://theocbwebsite.com/FitnessModelGuidelines.htm
Goals:
*lose some body fat and weight (want to go in at 108-110 lbs, currently at 114lbs)
*leaner/better shape to my lower body
*have fun
Plan:
*cardio 3 times a week for an hour while in school
*lifting 3 times a week (upper body) while in school
*cardio 6 times a week when school ends
*lifting 6 times a week when school ends (unless not lifting for lower body gets me the results I want
*low carb, high protein diet

It felt so nice to be back at the gym. I was starting to get anxious about not lifting for so long. I'm back to my "old" routine for the most part. Am going to take it easy the first week back and increase the time next week.
Lifted for 36 minutes
Smith Bench Press - 45-9-9-9
DB Flyes - 15-9-9-9
Rear Lat. Pulldown - 62.5-9-9-9
Cable Shrugs - 162.5-9-9
BB Military Press - 30-9-9-9
Rear Lateral Raises - 7.5-9-9
BB Curls - 30-9-9-9
Preacher Curls - 20-9-9
Triceps Press - 22.5-9-9-9
Assisted Dips - 28-9-9
Haven't stretched yet but I will before the day is out. Tomorrow is a cardio day and I play on doing an hour on the stationary bike.
I am going to take measurements tomorrow.

so, maybe I was a bit froggy. I'll have to ease back into this routine. Took the last two days off due to school work and will work out the next next two days with two days off. Next week I should be able to go the whole 6 days without much distraction. My major projects for the semester are DONE!!!

Did cardio today. One hour on the stationary bike. Besides being bored out of my mind, I watched the news and listened to my MP3 player. I averaged 13.18 miles per hour.

I like your goal of "having fun" while preparing for your contest! I forget that part sometimes!
You go!

Sophie, what about just trying to focus on mostly compound exercises, and doing just a few exercises a workout, instead of many, like the one you have?
i.e push - bench press, military press, dips
leg - squats, stiff leg deadlifts, calve raises, ab work
pull - deadlifts, rows, pull-ups (assisted pull-ups if you don't have enough strength).
My personal tip about you're plan to lift and do cardio 6x a week, is not to! You're overtrain, and you'll won't have enough recovery time. Remember more is not always better.

I'm lifting 3 times and doing cardio 3 times. Not siz for each like I was. My blood pressure was WAY TOOOO low doing that.
Trying to stay away from leg work for a bit to see if my legs will get leaner. I'll probably go to light leg work after school is out. I'm not sure what my routine will look like this summer yet. Haven't planned it.
Today was a cardio day. I did an hour on the stationary bike averaging 13.24 mph. Better than last time.
