If you missed the Facebook Live, you&#8217;re in luck because I&#8217;m sitting here typing up the cliff notes for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive in&#8211;let&#8217;s talk about the number one most important thing for all Bikini Competitors: DIET. <a href=\"https:\/\/thankful-pine-495.myflodesk.com\">This is the meal plan<\/a> that I use before competitions to shred fat fast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thankful-pine-495.myflodesk.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-1024x604.png\" alt=\"3 week jumpstart to fatloss meal plan program\" class=\"wp-image-64\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-1024x604.png 1024w, https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-1536x906.png 1536w, https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-2048x1207.png 2048w, https:\/\/pamelajohnfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-16-at-11.14.45-AM-1600x943.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-8l16q\">Read on my fierce future competitors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tell a few people that will hold you accountable and or start a separate social media account to share your fitness aspirations and inspirations so that your friends and family don&#8217;t have to hear about your competition tan or new Brazilian cut bikini!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make it a point to attend a competition and chat with the competitors, vendors and judges. This can be a great way to find a coach or find the perfect bikini designer. Who knows? you may even meet some future sponsors!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a realistic timeline- which will be different for EVERYONE! For some, it may be MONTHS while for others up to a YEAR. Find a competition and reverse engineer your timeline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Register for your competition as soon as you can to cement the commitment. Print out the show flyer and put it where you will see it often to stay motivated!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Document your progress!\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Photos weekly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average weekly weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monthly measurements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Body fat calculations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weights and Programming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nutrition &amp; Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>BUY THE SHOES! Start practicing your posing like yesterday. &#8220;Ellie&#8221; or &#8220;Fabulicious&#8221; Clear 5&#8243; heels on amazon. I am an 8.5-9 and I downsize to an 8.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Definitely invest in posing coach if you do not already have one. You are investing a ton of time, energy and money on bringing your best physique- you need to know how to showcase it properly! Once guided by a posing coach- PRACTICE OFTEN! Envision being onstage, walking, smiling, confident and poise&#8211;Really owning it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You are in the best shape of your life, you may want to consider booking a photography session a few days after your competition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose your competitions carefully and strategically. Look at the past competitors in the divisions\/classes you are considering and really KNOW how that will feel. Were there only a few last year? Maybe it will remain smaller but be prepared to bring your A game either way. If you so desire, you can plan out smaller shows as a rookie and larger ones as your confidence grows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-1g0kc\">If you still need help, be sure to purchase my 3 Week Jumpstart to Fatloss Meal Plan <a href=\"https:\/\/thankful-pine-495.myflodesk.com\">HERE<\/a>.
