2 weeks to go
I was honestly expecting to feel like death heated up by now, but I feel great. Better than I did a week ago even. I have to give credit to JD. I’m sure I piss him of with my "can I have this? why not that?" questions, but he’s got me feeling great and looking awesome.
It’s strange, the diet is pretty much lean and green but I don’t feel at all carb depleted. I’ve been on similar macros before and felt like a zombie so it must all be in the timing. My diet is very conservative body-builder stereotype (though this really isn’t JD’s style from what I understand) as I needed urgent ass-kicking. Breaky is egg-whites+egg and greens with 1/3 cup oats if post cardio, 3 of my meals are 120g roo/fish and buckets of green and lunch is always a chicken, almond and avocado monster salad. The secret weapon, I suspect, is the 20g pure-carbs in my training drink. On non-weight days I really miss it and feel flat. If I’d been in charge I would have ditched this weeks ago, shows what I know.
A lot of people complain that lean and green is boring. I’m doing pretty well. It’s really not that different from how I’ve eaten for a few years anyway, just less fat and forbidden sauces and condiments. I’ve been buying lots of different kinds of fish to add variety and love my roo and zucchini meatloaves.The one thing I miss is my weekly restaurant meal which has been strictly off the books for the last 5 weeks. I jokingly asked JD if there was a curry in this week’s diet plan and he handed me a freebie! Tomorrow lunch I have a date with a thai curry, a whole mess of rice and maybe some quail to be eaten beachside at my favourite Thai restaurant. I swear I almost cried with excitement. Along with being told fruit is no longer forbidden I was a happy girl this week. I thought things were meant to be dissapearing from my diet not re-appearing. AWESOME!
To be honest, I’m a little worried about my ‘free’ meal. My weight’s been hitting all time lows this week and dropping daily and I’m going to be a little thrown by the inevitable spike. However, after 4 weeks of no movement on the scales I have a reasonable disregard for them. I know how to get the lighting just right in my house to make me look great in the mirror (it’s my tan substitute).
I spent the day gluing diamantes to my bikini. I’ve done an impressive job on the bottoms but haven’t quite got the boobs even (story of my life). From where the judges/audience sit it shouldn’t be to noticeable.
I went on a huge shopping spree, Friday after work, and bought my nails, toe-nail polish, eye-lashes, jewelry and a feather combo for my hair (thanks stage shop lady). Teeing up a time with my makeup girl is proving dissastorous so I may just end up doing my own. C’est la vie. I also bought my only pair of ‘comp-prep’ pants, a pair of skin-tight black jeans. They were only $50, reduced for $140 and I figured I needed something to remember me by as I have no plans of staying quite this skinny for any longer than I have to.
It’s getting late and I have a early morning chest workout, visit to the farmers market and a date with a thai curry tomorrow so it’s beauty sleep time. Good luck to the ladies doing the WNBF this weekend.

Glad you are feeling good. I agree with you on the scales. Enjoy your Thai meal!
