Practice carb deplete/carb load

Well this is the last 12 days for me and it’s critical!  My butt is not ready and my diet has been so messed up so I hired a nutritionist for the last 2 weeks.  =”window.location=’member.php?u=410441′;” style=”cursor: pointer”>JaruebaT on bodyspace is helping me get ready and he’s awesome!  I don’t know why but it’s so much easier for someone to tell you what to eat and I’m actually sticking to it.  He cleaned up my diet for me and I started today.  I weighed myself this morning when I woke up and again when I came home from work and actually lost 1/2 lb!  And…my bodyfat read 14.9%.  I’m soooo happy about that.  The only thing now is tightening up my butt and getting rid of that fat on my outer thighs.  I really want to do this show and I’ve trained so hard, dieted and spent at s*@tload of money but I really don’t want to humiliate myself on stage and walk out there and not be ready so I hope this works.

What he’s doing for me is a practice mini carb load/deplete to see how my body responds to it and then he’ll adjust the real thing next week according to the results we get.  Tomorrow and Wednesday will be carb depleting and I’m not looking forward to it because I’m a carboholic.  Thursday/Friday will be carb loading with diuretics and no gym!!!  I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself so I have to plan something to keep myself busy.  So Thursday I’ll work on my one piece doing the stoning and practice my posing and Friday my friend who’s going to be at the show with me is coming over after work and she’s going to come to the gym with me to practice posing.  Saturday will be the practice show day and I get to have a bagel for breakfast, Reeces Peanut Butter Cups an hour before my pretend judging at 8:00 am and Cheese pizza for lunch.  Through this whole practice run I’m taking pictures everyday including 1 hour after my peanut butter cups at 8:00 am and again at 6:00 pm which would be the evening show.  I’m sure this whole process can’t hurt me at all because I was eating all the wrong things and way too many carbs.

He also told me that I need to walk on a 15% incline on my lunch and then 1 hr on the stepmill or stairmaster after my evening workout.  I didn’t have a stepmill at the gym I went to tonight so I did the 1 hr on 15% incline and holy mother of God!  My hamstrings and glutes have never felt like this in my life!  I should’ve been doing this for the past 2 months!  So tomorrow and Wednesday I’ll be at another gym that has a stepmill and I’ll be stepping my life away.
