Good day everyone!!  Thanks for viewing my body blog.

So being a newby to this whole competition scene I was given my last week prep list by my trainer last night.  I have got to say that after reviewing what I have to put myself through this week I have that much more respect for all of you people who do this on a yearly basis.  Not to say I didn’t have the respect before, but now getting down to doing this myself I’ve gained that much more respect…

Not only do I have to pretty much drown myself in spring water (tap water is not allowed) I have to eat PLAIN chicken, PLAIN tuna and say bye-bye to my free foods (I was allowed to snack on pickles and fresh tomatoes to increase the volume of my meals if I needed). Ouch!  I also get to kiss goodbye any spices, condiments, or lemon juice.  And…. not only that, I get to rub myself in Preperation H and sleep in a saran wrap suit.  Oh joy!!

There is, however, a light at the end of this tunnel…  Friday I get to eat rib steak, all the peanut butter I can stomache and starting at 9pm I get to shovel in as much cheesecake (no berries or crust though) as I want.  Woo Hoo!!  The day of the show is comprised of rib steak, cheesecake and caramel rice cakes.  Now the question is, "Am I looking forward more to the show or to eating the day of the show?"  ha ha.  Nope, still looking more forward to the show.  A person can eat anything anytime, this only happens once a year.

Anyways, that’s about it so far.  I can tell already this is going to be one of the hardest and most exhausting weeks of my life so far, but I guess as the saying goes…  "No Pain, No Gain"  And now it’s off to paint myself in Preperation H to help rid my body of some excess water and off to bed in saran wrap pajamas.  All the best to all of you competitors and happy training!!
