8 weeks out, Slight Progress, Travel UGH!!!!
Thank goodness for photos and old blogs. They serve as a reference point and a source to keep me going. I have lost about a 1/2" thighs, 1/2 hips, and 1/4" in the waist, but the scales are not showing much difference. It’s time to give up dairy–I don’t do much anyway so it’s not a big sacrifice. I’ll have to drop the unsalted mixed nuts sooner than later–I didn’t give them (salted) up last time until 2 weeks out. I’m going to Nashville, then Ohio so my daily food intake will suffer some, but not a great deal, b/c I will have a car and be able to buy most of my food from the grocery store–I hope.
Training is going well since I dumped the split schedule. I was able to get in a split on Thurs., but for the most part I am trying to get a sufficient amount of sleep (6.5 to 7 hrs). I’ll be able to train at the hotel in Nashville and will buy a week long pass in Ohio. Someone stopped me at the gym last week. She said she saw me compete last year and was inspired to lose weight. She was 200 lbs and lost a great deal of weight since Nov. It was quite a heartwarming experience. Now that I am aware folks are watching me I can’t give up and must accomplish my next goal.
