Countdown: 5 Days_Crash and Burn
Oh, where did that high that I was experiencing yesterday go? As fast as it came…it is gone. I did last night’s cardio with slightly fewer carbs, half as much as a matter of fact. This morning began with my pre-morning oats (1/4 c instead of 1/3). I went to meet Billy. It was THE saddest session I have ever had with him. I THOUGHT I had sad sessions, but this was beyond bad. Step ups with, for example, with 5 pounds dumbbells felt like a ton. Stepping up onto the step was a challenge. It was an ego-busting experience. 5 minutes into the workout I felt like I hit a wall.
Billy lowered my weights and sets. The beginning stages of depletion are so obvious. By the end of my day today, I had to teach sitting down–something I never do! I turned to my co-teacher (who is also my make-up artist) and mouthed-this is going to be a long week. I have a another protein meal and then my pre-workout meal with will, again, contain half of the carbs that I normally have pre-workout. I am aiming for 30 minutes on the stairmill. I am going to go almost immediately after I eat in hopes that I will be able to last the 30 minutes. I fear that if I wait to long my body with ‘burn’ some of what need off. What a ride this is. Additionally, the vascularity in my hands and arms are more that I have ever seen. I took the batteries out of my scale to use in a remote or something. I would like to see if my weight has dropped–it feels like it has.

You are SO CLOSE!!! Only five more days, girl! You can do it! And you look SO AMAZING! You have come a long, long ways, and I hope that you are VERY proud of yourself! PLUS, I don’t know how you juggle everything–school, work, family. I had to drop the comp because it was too much, so I am VERY impressed with your time management skills! Can’t wait to see how your comp goes!
