1 more sleep and I'm on the road again....
My last trip....thank goodness! I'm leaving tomorrow morning to judge our Provincial championships being held Saturday the 21st in Vancouver...this show should be awesome. I'm really looking forward to it. This show always brings out 'quality' athletes. The best part is that the female bodybuilding classes are looking to be quite competitive!
Last weekend was absolutely fabulous! My trip out to see my trainer was VERY eventful! I often wish I lived closer to her :) With the final weeks of my prep all planned out, I'm super excited for what's to come. This is going to be a whole new experience for me and I can't wait! She too is in the midst of her pre-contest prep, it was really cool to see how much progress Helen has made since our last visit. She'll be competing in Atlantic City just 4 weeks after my show!
It was incredibly hot while I was away and I mean HOT! I swear, I did not stop sweating all weekend and the house was even air-conditioned..lol.... I know, I know...how lady like, right? Well, I'm a walking metabolic furnace right now...
Summer in these parts has all but disappeared....it's cold and rainy now...much easier to sleep at night, but very taxing on my joints!
As of tomorrow, I'm precisely 30 days from stepping on stage. This will be my final weekend of cardio..YAHOO! All of my hard work leading up til now has paid off...sure, the lack of cheat days/cheat food has been extremely challenging, so have the early morning sessions of cardio, but ultimately, it has been the greatest test of my will power. So far, I have had the mental strength to 'hang on' and let me tell ya, I couldn't have done it without the support of my trainer. I'm sure there are tons of people who prep for a show on diet food alone without any extra goodies, I gotta give them credit because it really is tough! It's simply mind over matter. However, the trade-off has been great..I have really enjoyed eating a larger amount of food on a day-to-day basis...the recipes Helen provided me with made the diet even easier to follow. The one thing I can say for sure is that in the past, I used to feel like absolute 'dog shit' after a cheat day! I'd eat so much that I'd be bloated for days with a wicked sugar hangover....it would mess with my mind too. Keeping everything constant this time has enabled me to remain focussed and literally watch my body change daily...I don't need much more motivation than that :)
Now speaking of Helen, she'll be flying in to see me in roughly 2 weeks. It'll be our final meeting before I arrive in Edmonton for the show. WOW! The idea of it just gave me goosebumps....it's almost showtime!!!
alright, I have rambled on enough for one day..have a good one!
