This week-end, as I was slowly awaiting death on my couch ( first day on the diet) I got a text from a friend that said : « But you love contest prep tho !!!» And to be honnest at that moment I didn’t . I had forgotten what it felt like to be hungry 24/7, to be sore and tired ALL the time, to be woken up by hunger in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep, to wake up completely dehydrated in the morning cause you’re having sooooo much protein. Do I love that? When I think about it I don’t but now a few days later I remember that I do!!!!!! I really really do. You get into a zone where you forget about the aches and the hunger, it becomes part of the routine and you don’t even notice it anymore.

Since I started competing, I’ve never bulked for that long but now that I’m back into it and not so hungry anymore I remember the fun stuff. How fun it is to see your weight drop, to go to practice on Saturday and chat with the other competitors, to have people at the gym cheer you on when you look tired, to see that twinkle in my coach’s eye after a particularly grueling week! Yesterday I got to do the BESTESTESTESTESTESTEST thing in the whole wild world! ORDER MY NEXT SUITS! Yep suitS I will compete twice here in Montreal and then Miami and I’ve asked another designer to do the suits for the Miami show since she competed with them in the past and she knows exactly what they want! I’m really excited about this!

Being back on BB.com and getting back into competition mode gave me an idea for a new project. I’ve shared it with a friend and I think I might be on to something. No worries I won’t quit my day job, just something I love and I’m passionate about!!!

Have a great day!
