It's getting close to crunch time now with the Vancouver Island Showdown only 3 weeks away! Generally I consider 2 weeks out crunch time and if I am on track then crunch time isn't so bad but if I am behind even a bit, it can get pretty tuff! Right now I figure I am on track but I will know more next week around this time. I am up a few pounds but I did have a refeed on Sunday and the weather is super hot and humid which will make you retain water. It will cool off over the next few days and I will also dry out a bit from the weekend higher calories and more carbs.
My body weight was 201.5 midday today and should be closer to around 197-198 so I am holding a good 3-4 pounds of water... My InBody H20 home body composition scales says I am 8.2% body fat today, down over a percent from last week and generally my at home InBody scale is at least 1% higher than the gym Pro InBody scale I test myself with. So I am hoping I am in the mid 7% body fat range which makes getting to right around 5% body fat very doable.
Last week went well in terms of diet, calories and macros and is the reason I am down a solid body fat percent, making sure I was hitting my calorie deficit daily. This week will again be much like last week with 2-3 walks per day, why main weight training workout and some posing practice added in. This will yield anywhere from 1500 to as high as 2000 calories worth of active exercise and out me in a 1000-1500 daily calorie deficit. Once I hit 2 weeks out I may have to make some change, my eating will tighten up a bit and I won't be able to get away with my weekend refeed but I am closing in on the goal and that will keep my mind off the sacrifices I have to make in exchange for being in my best shape possible.
