PRU ~ WEEK 38

WEEK 38
Thursday, October 14, 2010
My suit and shoes – sexy - arrived today!! OMG … this thing is TINY!!! I sure hope I slim down some more because if I don’t … OH NO! I’m going to kill my trainer … half my tail is hanging out. My husband is not going to be happy with this at all. I better get to work on these glutes, because they will definitely be showing.

Now orange is my favorite color … but this suit is SUPER orange. Let’s hope it can be blinged to another level! The shoes are something else. Its becoming more real everyday!

I’m writing in middle of the day, because I need the outlet. Can I just say I hit a wall at 7:00 last night. My poor child just wanted to talk and play with his mommy, but all I could muster was an ummm humm here and there. I also found myself wishing it were his bedtime … I know that’s awful, but I’m just keeping it real. THIS SHIT IS HARD!!! This super-restrictive, in-humane diet I’m on is killing me. I can do the cardio, weight training, but this right here … damn. I’m GROUCHY as all get out and I feel so bad, because I’m snapping on everyone, including myself. This is only the fourth day … I have 4 more weeks of this. Pray for me … Pray for me. That’s all I can say.

Whew … Dre threw me a lifeline this evening. I can add a few more things to my diet … still bland, but I can add a few things back in! That perked me up so much I had church right in the gym (LOL)!!! Don’t get it twisted its not much, but it will definitely help with the energy level.

By the way … you know you’re in trouble when your trainer walks into your training session looking like she just stepped out of a fashion magazine, while she’s kicking your tail. Hey she’s done her part I’m just trying to get there!!!

Your prayers must be working … keep them coming, I have EXACTLY 1 MONTH FROM TODAY for the big competition! I’m going to try to blog and post at least every 3 days, so please keep checking in on me and send me some feedback!

I made it through Monday without cheating … well, knowingly cheating that is! I only had a packet of Equal with my oatmeal, till my husband quickly reminded me that I had to eat it plain. So I promptly sent a text to my AMAZING trainer – DRE - and sure enough … the answer was NODDA!!! Damn … can I get a little equal, Damn! I went through the rest of the day trying to stick to this BLAND diet I’m on for the next 4 ½ weeks and found myself on an emotional rollercoaster for most of the day. I swear I thought I was going to break down and cry. Jillian saved the day! Thanks Jillian for your kind words of support and encouragement, because I was beginning to wonder if I was just weak.

This is no joke … Dre told me this would be the HARDEST part yet. And I thought getting through the additional cardio was going to be an issue. Huh. This is not for the faint-hearted at all. I’m almost through day two and today was much better than yesterday. My energy level was down significantly and I strained my shoulder in boot camp yesterday. Today’s workout was less than good, it was by far the worst weight training day I’ve had, thus far.

All I can think is that I can’t start getting injured now. I’ve come too far. I will push through this … as always … pray for me!

I can hardly believe it … 4 ½ weeks to go! This is it … it’s go hard or go home! I am excited!!! Had to blog tonight because this is technically the first day of my ‘EAT SUPER CLEAN’ month – you don’t even want to know. All I can say is … Lord, “I NEED YOU NOW!!!“. I’m trying to “get my mind right”, cause this eating plan is NUTZ! LOL!

Anyway, like I said, I can do anything for 4 ½ weeks … RIGHT? RIGHT!!! I’m like a kid anticipating Christmas. Counting it down, but I know I’ve got to remain focused. I’m having a family meeting tonight to get everyone in the house on board and provide them with some expectations of what they can and cannot expect from me for the next month.
