And the results are in..

So I weighed a little bit more at this morning's body composition test, but overall I shed some fat :) From 18.9% in June to 17.4% in July. All of my measurements decreased, and it seems I lost 2 pounds of fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle. woohooo :)

Even though I officially started cutting this week, I'm not dropping any weight--I'm actually gaining. This morning's weigh in had me at 140.8 pounds--a little discouraging since I've cut my calories. Maybe I'm not getting enough water or sleep, two things I'm definitely lacking in :( It's definitely frustrating, but I'm glad about the new muscle I put on :)

Today's leg day, which means back squats, front squats, stiff-legged deadlifts, leg extensions and calf raises. As always, hoping to beat my reps and push myself to failure. If anything, my quads/calves will save me in this competition..the one place where I store the least amount of fat and where my most defined muscles lie.

In some random news, I've been daydreaming about snowboarding..oh boy I can't wait until the next shredfest :) I've also been contemplating post-competition goals, and I've come to the conclusion I want to go back to bulking again, and I want to put on a few pounds of muscle in the winter and start cutting in the spring, say February/March. Sorry if I'm being mean, but scrawny females disgust me. It's definitely all about the tone and definition :)

I actually have another body composition test in a couple of weeks (not skinfold this time around, but I'll be standing on a scale and they'll shoot an electrode through my body and calculate how fast it travels)..we'll see how that goes.

Hoping to drop a few pounds by the weekend. Catch you guys later.
