Female member: 5 weeks out and my 1st cycle

Hi All,

I finally decided to get started on Var, since I'm 5 weeks out from my first show and my fat % won't budge.

Stats:
age: 45
height 5'1.5"
weight 115 (as of today--hoping to move down in the next 4.5 weeks until peak week)
fat 15% and refuses to move

Medications (my thyroid was taken out due to cancerous nodules):
Synthroid
Lyothyronine
Microgestin 1/20 (birth control)

Sups:
Hazmat fat burner (half dose) started 6 days ago
Fish oils
Multi Vs
Magnesium
BCAAs
Melatonin at night

Started on var--7.5 mg per day for now, I'm on day 5. My biggest fear as far as side effects is changes in personality, since I have kids.

Diet:
Water 1+ gallon
Protein 136 (ground turkey, chicken, eggwhites, tilapia and Mutant Whey once a day)
Carbs 53 (oats, blackberries, quinoa, green beans, broccoli and brussels sprouts)
Fat 50 (from the meats, olive oil/coconut oil, natural peanut/almond butter)
Daily total calories 1,263

Gym:
Split supersets and 12 minute sprints (except on legs day) + one day HIT (Crossfit style for time) + 30 minutes moderate cardio later each day, 4 days work one day rest then start over--coach will probably change it all on me this week again, lol

minor update: I did notice I'm feeling a bit stronger at the gym the past few days, but I'm not sure if this is due to the cycle starting or just natural progress, since I push it every day.

Great job lady!!! Your mood shouldn't be effected too much. I don't notice sides like that. How are you now? There are lots of good people in the lounge area with lots of good advice. There are people everywhere on the forum. Look around too, lots to learn.

Is this your first Var cycle? Pictures?
