Show’s Over, Curtains Closed.
So I did my first show! Finally did it! YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY! And I’m so proud, just to get out there. And then, I actually placed! 5th! Which is like placing by a tooth hair, but I still did it! I know for sure now that this is what I want for myself, I want to compete. And I know the more I do it, the cleaner I am with the diet, the harder I work in the gym, and the planning & preparation is all going to be worth it, cuz I’m just gonna get better.
Okay, now for the part where I lick my own wounds… nobody ever told me how much it SUCKS after the show. It’s like the day after Christmas, when you’ve unwrapped all your presents and all your cool relatives went home. It’s all over. And the day after Christmas you never wanna crawl out of your own skin…
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve gained TOO much rebound, since it’s only been a week, but I know I have gained some. There’s water weight spread out everywhere from eating like crap and I feel like a big fat cow. Some days I’d rather crawl into a hole then put on a tanktop and go out of the house. I guess that’s the reality of it.
OH WELL, next week it’s back on the diet, and I am excited that the weather’s getting warmer! I’m excited for my body to balance back out, because I know once I bust out that new bikini, my motivation will be back!
This summer’s gonna be FUN, maybe I’ll find myself a hot new boy toy at the beach… hahahaa..

Hey Trish! Congrats on the first show and the 5th!! Both are awesome!!! I read an excellent article in Oxygen last year about ‘post show blues’. I think what your going through is totally normal. I’m a week from my show…so I will likely be in the same place right after too.
Hang in there!! Get back to workouts soon!! And back to clean eating….even if you do get cheat days or meals again!!! And again…BIG TIME CONGRATS on making it to stage!!
