One week out… …and so the FUN begins
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!!
