After I enjoyed all my post competition yummys, I am proud to say I have been back on a super clean diet!!! I got on the scale this morning at 110.8lbs which is only a couple pounds above my stage weight My trainer wants me to maintain at 112-115lbs which is totally do-able. I’ve been hitting my new macros and been very satisifed thus far, I am digging the increase in carbs. My new routine is definitely a killer and I LOVE it!! I hate taking rest days but I took one on thursday and it was needed…my body was so sore but I felt good as new this morning and felt re-energized!!!

I had planned on having a cheat meal tomarrow…doing the family BBQ thing and I was totally OK with doing it, not beating myself up at all! As it turns out, plans fell through but I thought ‘why not go out and enjoy myself anyway’….I had planned for this anyway, so why not take advantage of it??? Then doubt begins to creep into my head…I have the opportunity to keep it clean so I should, I shouldnt ‘look’ for reasons to have a treat…ect. Truth be told, I NEVER have little treats….EVER!!!! I prefer to keep my diet clean since I am a binge eater…I cant have just one bite of something naughty, I have to have it all   Which is why I gained so much fat after my last show, and am not going to let that happen this time around. I actually thought I had conquered it but sure enough it occasionally rears its ugly head. My trainer told me to have a treat and enjoy myself…he set a target weight for me and 1 meal isnt going to throw that out the window. So after agruing with myself, I decided that I am going to go out and enjoy myself…me and my BF never go out much anymore so it will be a welcome treat. We’re going to the Amish market, since the last time we went I was prepping and couldnt have a taste As long as I keep it to a meal and not blow the whole day, then I’ll be a HAPPY girl! I’ll just keep telling myself "its one meal…NO BIG DEAL!!!"

Well, wasnt that a fun little read LMAO!!! Sorry for the bummer of a blog…..Now, I’m going to listen to the storm with my doggies and HOPE the Phillies can remember how to win!!!!!

Time is really flying…I cant believe its been a week since my show already!! I am happy to say that its been a really great week. Of course I enjoyed my post comp food party and I definitely carried the binge-fest into Sunday…who doesn’t love peanut butter and bananas for breakfast???  That was just the start, I ATE EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING I could get my hands on I felt like $hit and quickly remembered why junk food is so bad for you but I’m not going to lie…the cheesesteak, fries and ice cream I had at the game on Sunday were DELICIOUS!!!  I learned a lot from my first show, so this time the binging will not have a carry over effect. I was up to 120lbs by the time I went to bed on Sunday night, but at the crack of dawn on Monday morning I was back to CLEAN eating. LOL Now the sexy, bloated belly didn’t fully go down until Wednesday but I felt better keeping it clean! This morning I weighed in at 111.6 which is just 3.6lbs more than I was a week ago…so all in all I’m pretty f@ckin happy bout that J I was back in the gym on Tuesday and it felt great to hit the weights again—I am so sore and I love it, every part of my body aches!!!

I met with my trainer today and he put together my next plan of action!!! He gave me some new macros (carbs YAY!!) and an intense new workout program. Since I plan on hitting the stage again in October he wants me to keep my weight around 113-115lbs. I plan on keeping my diet 99% clean with an RARE treat meal (just 1 meal…not day!) so it shouldn’t be hard to keep my weight steady.  I know that there isnt enough time to make drastic changes to my body but I definitely know that I can make small improvements and look even better than I did this time around.

Now, I have to fold some laundry, make food for tomarrow…then snuggle with my babies and hope the Phillies can comeback and win a F@CKIN game before I get cranky!!!!

btw…the above pics are from my Applebees feast! The dessert was so yummy and my belly was starting to get VERY round And I wonder why people look at me like I’m nuts LMAO!!!

YAY!!! I got me some new hardware I had such a blast at my show…it was an incredible experience. The competition was really tough, those girls were KILLER! I placed 3rd in Open and 4th in Novice…I’M SO HAPPY! I made great improvements to my physique from my last show, so I am proud of the package I brought to the stage. I had even more fun this time around, I wasnt nervous at all…not once! I had my friend backstage with me…taping my ass in my suit and lubing me up (SO HOT!). Shes awesome, helped make my day run super smooth! I had a huge smile and confidence all day. Even during my figure walk, I actually had some attitude and worked it….must be all the ‘Drag Race’ I watch LMFAO!!!! It was funny when I was doing my walk, I was the ONLY figure girl using rock music and all the BB’s backstage freaked out and thought they were supposed to be on!!! HAHHAAH I’ve always been different than the average chick It was definitely worth all the hard work and strict dieting, there are no words to describe the feeling of being on stage and hearing your number called….its INCREDIBLE! Everyone was so cool, the bonding backstage is really great…not catty like you would expect from women. People were offering help, sharing food ect…very cool! I finally got to meet SmallguyJoe…we were prepping for this show together, he did AWESOME! Be sure to drop by his profile and show him some love..a great guy that busted his ass and deserves those trophies!

Needless to say, I’m feeling like **** today Oh yeah, you know I enjoyed my post comp meal!!! I went to Applebees afterward and GOT MY EAT ON!!! I had potato skins, buffalo wings, chips/salsa, chicken fajatas (loaded w/ CHEESE!) and a cookie ice cream sundae…OMFG it was delicious. I took all these pics of me eating and everyone in there was lookin like I was insane….come to think of it, I must have looked it! Oh yeah, and you know I tore into some PB when I got home!!! HAHAH I couldnt help myself. I’m going to the Phillies game today and I planned of treating myself but, I’m not feeling to good so not sure about that one.

I really appreciate all the support and words of encouragement! When I logged online and saw how excited everyone was for me…it brought a HUGE smile to my face! BBDiesel and my crazy SERB…I love you guys!! You F@CKIN ROCK!!!!

By this time tomarrow I will be getting on stage for my competition!!! I am so EXCITED and surpisingly not nervous (yet). I took my last shower and shaved last night…applied my first coat of JanTana and even though I was low carbed and feeling flat, I was VERY happy with the way I looked. This morning I put on my second coat and its lookin awesome. I’m also eating lots of carbs today to fill up…I look SO much better than I did for my last show. I am not getting my hopes up, while I’m very confident…I am not cocky! In a subjective sport like figure/bb you never know what the judges are looking for that day BUT I know that I am bringing the best package I can, and for that I am proud!!!!

Oh, yeah and I finally decided on the song for my walk…I’m using "soldier" by drowning pool. To be honest, I actually dont even like them but I LOVE that song…those familiar w/ the Phillies know that is the song Lidge using when he takes the mound! He was flawless last year and hopefully I will be too   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LsgwWfTuTk

I have to thank ALL of my bodyspace friends…you support had been amazing! I appreciate all the feedback and all the ‘pick-me-ups’ you guys have given me when I’m doubting myself I’m hoping to take my laptop with me so I can keep you guys updated, but if not than I’ll have tons to say and a load of pics to come later this weekend!

Now I gotta run, I’m cooking and packing all my meals for today and tomarrow!!! Gotta pack up the coolers

Yes, the time has arrived! I’ve got just one week (6 days, but who’s counting) before I step on stage I met with my trainer yesterday and he gave me my plan for the week. I’m going to hit up the food store tomarrow to stock up and prep all my meals! It seems like my show has approached so quick…time has really flew by. I’m down to 108lbs, which is 4lbs more than my last show…looks like the bulk was SUCCESSFUL!!! I am definitely more excited and relaxed than last time…I was a big ol nervous mess for my first show I am looking forward to my carb up…I am so hungry and tired but the excitement has given me a little extra kick in the ass! Today was my last HEAVY workout…this week will be light weight/high rep stuff and some cardio, which will pretty much suit my energy levels. I will also be hitting my poses daily, so I really nail ‘em. I have all my tanning stuff ready to go…I use JanTana, so I’ll start exfoliating/moisturizing tomarrow and shave/first coat of tanner on thursday night. I already have my makeup appt. booked for saturday morning…I can do everyday makeup, but hooker/stage makeup I’ll leave to the pros I have my hotel room booked already and my polygraph test scheduled for friday night. I’m also still trying to decide on the music for my figure walk…pretty much every chick uses pop music, which is not my cup of tea but I need something upbeat so I still have to find something. And of course, I keep thinking about all the yummy food I will inhale after my show….I’m actually dreaming of it!!! NO JOKE!!!

As you can probably tell by reading this, my mind is kinda all over the place…bouncing from one thought to the next LOL!!! SO if this blog reads like one long run on sentence–just blame it on the diet

btw..I’m happy to report, I am typing this on my NEW laptop!!!! I finally got a new one and I love it <3
