WEEK 41 – EIGHT DAYS TO GO

WEEK 41 – EIGHT DAYS TO GO
Whoa! Today has been rough. I got an early cardio workout in this morning, then had a KILLER training session with Dre. Oh I thought for sure I was going to burst into tears. I had to fight them back. I had to fight through it as best as I could – and of course she is encouraging all the way – but she WILL NOT let you punk out. Ohhhhhhh it was a toughie.

I struggled so hard today for a number of reasons:
SLEEP DEPRIVATION: I CANNOT SLEEP! I am so charged up for this competition that I CANNOT sleep. On top of that my son keeps me up too, as he slaps me in the head and kicks me all night … I gotta get his behind OUT OF MY BED! It’s rough. We won’t even mention the fact that I have to go to the bathroom about every 1.5-2.0 hours from all the water I’m drinking. THIS IS NUTS!!! But I’m loving every single minute of it.

LOW CARBS: The diet for the last two weeks before competition is ROUGH! It is LOW, LOW, LOW carb and its challenging. I barely made it through the workout and NOTICEABLY petered out quickly. However, I was able to lift some heavy weight so I’m pretty proud of myself. Dre threw me another lifeline though and told me I was thinning out to quickly … YEAH BABY! BABY! … so that means I get to add SOME carbs back in!!! THANK GOODNESS! Let me tell you … peanut butter NEVER tasted so good!

Hopefully I will fall out tonight. I really have to get rested. I want to be radiant and beautiful for the competition, not emaciated and burned up!

Props to my hubby Mickey who cooked all my meals for another 5 days or so! YOU ARE THE BEST BABY!!! I LOVE YOU!

That’s it for now!
