I am currently five weeks out….not much time at all! I still have about 10 pounds of bf to lose, which means two sessions of @ least 45 minutes of cardio daily as well as including two meals with white fish and greens into my diet.  I spent this weekend, working out and preparing my meals for the week! Yes, Saturday at midnight I was baking sweet potatoes and soaking my steel oats. I then got up at 8am Sunday morning for a run in the park, which was absolutely wonderful. Doing the morning cardio helps me stay sharp and productive for the rest of the day. So now, I can honestly say that I’ve pretty much devoted my priorities to preparing for the competition. I really want to see how far I can push my body…I haven’t looked like this since high school! I just have to get over the fact that I will have no boobs soon. But gotta get it tight, gotta get it right!

I went out both Saturday and Sunday nights. From house parties to a football game, food temptation lay all around me. And amazingly, I resisted. Saturday, I went to a bar to celebrate the completion of an exam with a college friend. The owner had provided complimentary nachos with all the fixins and wings along with drinks aplenty. I declined shot after shot, and stayed with my chicken breast mesclun salad with peppers, tomatoes and avocado and water. The next evening I headed to Jersey for the Giants game. After three hours of travel and listening to spectators cry out ‘get those f**kers!’. my blood sugar was also crying out, ‘I’m low, I’m low, time to eat.’ I forgot to pack something and ended up munching on cashews. The protein options were limited to hot dogs and chicken tenders. After a long search around the stadium, I was finally able to locate a chicken breast sandwich which I ate without the bread. I didn’t realize that I could have that much willpower. I am thrilled that I didn’t cheat at all this weekend!
