2.5 weeks out

It's almost time everybody!!! I am so excited that my show is almost here. I am down to 12% body fat right now which is almost show ready! I can't wait for it to be over. I miss food SOOOO much. Here is my plan for after the show; Saturday night Tacos N' Tequila for some sweet potato chips, guacamole, and a jalapeno cucumber margarita. Sunday ....brace yourself...1) Moonshine for brunch 2) Lulling for Bar-b-cue 3) Hop Doddys for burgers and fries with their awesome homemade chipotle ketchup 4) Gordoughs for donuts! 5)Trudy's for a stuffed avocado and mexican martini/or fajitas, I can't decide. I know that is about 1 billion calories but I don't care...I want it...it's happening. You are more than welcome to join though!

I can't believe it's almost here. This was a long, rough journey to my first show. I am catching myself wanting to throw in the towel now but I can't do that. I need to cross the finish line first. I still need to bead my suit and make sure that it fits. I bought a plain suit for super cheap because the beaded suits are just ridiculously over priced. Therefore, I decided to take it upon my self to decorate the suit. I am preying that I don't look too ridiculous. Another dilemma I am having is whether or not to straighten my hair or leave it curly. Initially, I was going to straighten it, but my blow dryer died on me. I don't want to buy a cheap blow dryer just to get through the show. If I am going to get a blow dryer, I am going to get a nice one, and with all of my expenses right now, I can't afford that until after the show. So I am just going to have to play it by ear.

My biggest concern is what is going to happen to my body after the show. I decided that I was only going to give myself a couple of days to eat crappy, then I was going to start eating clean again. I am not going to be as strict as I was for my show, but I don't want to eat out the way I used to anymore. I plan on subscribing to clean eating magazine so I have some recipes, and I am thinking about doing the Venice Nutrition program since I have a month of it for free. I am very aware that I am going to gain about 10lbs. but I don't want to go any higher than that. I like my body the way it is right now, and I don't want it straying too far from where it's at. My goal is to be able to main around 15% body fat when I am off season. However, I am going to take a solid 2 weeks off of lifting. Don't judge me.

I have been noticing that I am getting more tired lately. I have been taking my naps before work like I used to. I was able to stop taking naps for a while, which was great, because I was able to get so much done in the mornings, but not so much anymore. Also, I am hungry all the time now. When I finish my meals, I sit there and stare at the empty bowl because I feel as though I haven't eaten anything. What that is about, I have no idea. I don't feel like my calories have been cut, but I haven't added them up, or asked about it. However, I did find out that I get a very large piece of cheesecake the night before the show, which I am ecstatic about!

Next time I write it will be show time!! Until then....
