Figure Competition Prep: 15 Weeks Out

Is it me, or was January a blur? I can't believe it's February 1, which means I have just three and half months before I need to step on stage.

I've been having a few great weeks in regards to energy and workouts. I seem to have hit a sweet spot when it comes to my macros. With my carbs at 210g for the past three weeks, I've been able to lose 0.5 to 0.6 pounds. Currently, I'm at 141.0 lbs., down about two pounds.

My trainer is changing things up this week. In his words, we're going to get a "little more aggressive." Here's what this week looks like:

Macros
For five consecutive days:
Protein: 145g
Carbs: 190g
Fat: 40g
Calories: 1,650 (approx.)

6th day (high carb)
Protein: 145g
Carbs: 240g
Fat: 30g
Calories: 1,800 (approx.)

Workouts
3-day split, lifting 6 days per week (adding a day to burn some extra calories)
Chest/delt/tri's -- Back/bi's -- Legs
Cardio: 3 sessions -- 30-minutes steady state (one additional session was added)

I'm also starting to do more meal prep (cooking in advance and measuring it all out) and measuring every single thing that goes into my mouth. This includes all vegetables and otherwise free food (cucumbers, salsa, etc.) Hopefully all of these changes will show up in my next set of progress pics.
