AAAH! Emergency goal!
Before I get to the emergency… and it’s an awesome one…. I gotta say that my workout tonight was stellar. I was with Barb and Suzi, two gals on the league. Barb is on our arch enemy team, The Pink Pistols, and Suzi is a Carnie like myself. We busted our butts and then hit the sauna and hot tub. I had been really good all day as far as nutrition goes until we busted out a bottle of blackberry wine in the hot tub and it all went to hell. LOL I only had a glass but I’m quite sure that is not what the term "recovery drink" means.
Now my emergency. On February 14, I am scheduled to jello wrestle Eryn Blockabitch at a fundraiser for Seatown Sisters of Slant. Eryn founded the Sisters of Slant/Brothers of Banked league and needs to raise money to build the banked track, so she has organized an "Anti-Valentine" show with great bands (Hearseburner and also The Dead Vampires), rollergirl burlesque and our Jello wrestling match is the main event! DUDE! No pressure or anything, it’s only at the hottest club on the hill! LOL So I find myself with 6 weeks to look good half naked in an inflatable pool full of jello in front of hundreds. umm…. I wonder if this is addressed on the forum? :p
Actions taken:
Cutting down on carbs NOW. No more wine Barb! From what I understand, this is arguably a good way to lose fat quickly? How much is too much? My protein sources all have carbs in them except eggs, so perhaps cutting out bread and rice? Hell. Much article reading ahead.I’m afraid of stuff I don’t know now after getting blindsided ealier!
Altered my workout schedule to be 7 days a week, with added cardio and a "rest" day on Sunday with only an open recreational skate and then team practice (we practice pack skating, hitting technique and positional blocking… not too terribly intense).
Canceled a few clubbing engagements to ensure adequate sleep. I usually make a few appearances at the local goth/industrial clubs a few times a month to keep myself in the papers.
So sue me, I’m vain and like to pad my fragile ego, okay? Don’t judge. LOL this is a big step! This will also ensure I don’t give in to a dirty martini.
I’m going to bed and hitting the forums tomorrow for emergency advice. Any you might have would be very appreciated as well.
I’m going to be half naked and covered in jello in front of hundreds. Please. I’d help you.

Don’t cut the carbs too much, you will need energy to be able to fight still

As far as protein, what do you feel about peanut butter? It’s relatively cheap and you can get it in large quantities for almost nothing.

I’d cut out processed carbs, grains, rice, etc. Watch some veggies that might cause bloat, but eat your veggies. You might also cut back on dairy, sometimes people are sensitive to it and bloat up.
Good luck, sounds like fun and if I lived there I’d come cheer you on.
