Tuesday

I keep not really "getting" anymore if I am this # out, or that # out because one day I count Friday the next I don't. And I am losing carbs and water as we speak, so for now my titles shall be the day of the week. Easier for me to remember... hehe

I woke up every friggin 30 minutes last night to pee. No lie. I took 3 melatonin since my sleeping has been sparing as of late anyway, but the pee factor was enough to wake me up every 30 minutes. I drank 300 ounces of water yesterday! I totally had a b.m last night and a bit this morning so that was great news. I prayed all night all night all night that I would be where I needed to be this morning to keep my oatmeal, but at 1030 when I turned in I was 128.6 lbs, I knew getting to 122 was gonna be almost impossible. But I also have relied on the Lord for much of the last two weeks and put it in his hands, that I would be able to handle whatever this morning brought.

a bowel movement
123.1 lbs

So, plan is like this... I got my oats taken (if you know me, you know I L-O-V-E oats), I got my water cut dramatically, I got MORE tilapia added to my diet, one egg white meal taken, and more asparagus. So what this equates to is protein and asparagus at every meal. I also had to pick up a legal diuretic to help my body shed this water weight.

I got on my teddy the treddy this morning and I got all those answers by text from Jon and you know what? I didn't even bat an eyelash. I don't care. The tilapia tastes like a$$, yes. There is a lot more of it, yes. I miss my oats, yes. I am thirsty, yes. BUT, it is TUESDAY and my show is on FRIDAY. I actually felt giddy as I got my new plan this morning, I thought to myself "this is where discipline and dedication come in." I even SMILED. I know I am gonna look better than I have ever looked on Friday and because I am willing to make the sacrifices for the next 2 or (is it 3) days.

Game on baby!!! It's go time, aint nothin gonna hold momma down.

Cardio done, so I went tanning and then headed to to my nail appointment and although it was pretty painful for me to SIT still for 2 hours straight for that, I love how they look.

I spend most all of my time in sweats, and I am usually sweaty from a morning workout or an afternoon workout-- or from not showering in between because honestly, there is just only so much time in the day.

I forgot to share a picture of my new do from Shawna.... love her by the way and LOVE my hair so so much!

So today, I came home from my afternoon cardio and got showered. I decided to attempt my hair (as in attempt what it'll look like for photo shoot and show night), but am leaving my face clear of any make up til tomorow night for my photo shoot. (my face is on acne over load right now!!! ahhh!!!) My hair looks good. I tried to add a lot more body and poof to the top and I am really really debating stopping at Shawna's and asking her to chop my side bangs shorter.... I think they'd be cuter for the show.... but who knows I can't decide.

Anyway, this is the fun glitzy glamy part of the show that everyone sees and enjoys... the sweat and the months of preparation that lead to this are what make us ready and able to get the nails, hair and make up done. I won't lie. I am enjoying this part very much.

I even had more gusto on the stair mill feeling a bit cuter with my nails done today.

Tonight is our last posing session, and tomorrow I have 60 minutes of cardio in the morning, a 20 minute upper body circuit and then 60 minutes of stairs to finish my day and the chapter of training for my first figure show. I am going to be adding up the minutes of cardio I have done since January because, yes, I have kept track on my calendar and I am curious. Side note, an hour on the stair mill goes by so fast these days... it's like my old 20 minutes now. No biggie.

I guess that's it for today. Husband heads to his first night shift tonight, he works after our photo shoot tomorrow night and then Thursday is here and it is time to just chill and wait for Friday and the enjoyment, rush, and craziness that will be here.
