4 WEEKS OUT- Kelowna Western Canadians

Wow! 4 weeks has crept up and passed now i am into 3 weeks…Sounds so surreal that this Saturday will be 3 weeks!!! I am so excited….and nervous of course but that’s to be expected….It’s my first show after all.

It was a great week ….I was a little more irate than usual but coping with it and trying to catch myself.

Panic buttons went off with my BFF last week… thank goodness she gets me and knows it’s my nerves, anxiety and not some bizarre condition.

I am a bit carb depleted and can’t wait to get home every afternoon to indulge in a tiny dose of pre-workout carbs….Crazy I know but it’s the highlight of my day…..

Had an amazing workout with my hubby on Sunday….went heavy and exceeded my best and with that being said I do feel a bit more fatigued and could have lounged on the couch with my doggy all day long sipping tea!!!!

Not that lucky but it could be worst. I do run a marina/golf course facility among many companies so it’s not too shabby to look at beautiful boats and a lush golf course.

 

For the first time in this experience of prepping for a fitness show I was excited to go to my posing class strut my stuff or at least get better at it. Our Kelowna team looks amazing "Tight n' Tiny". We had weight-ins as well as BF% measurment progress taken. I was curious of my progress from my trainer’s perspective and wanted to know what’s next. Came down a pound and BF% is steady. I did measure smaller almost an inch in my thighs and waist. No Change in meal plan!!!! I am happy!!! Progress is good!

Everything is officially too big on me….even my shoes…lol. I am living in my tights for the next few weeks and loving it!

My suit is all ready....so beautiful and it looks good on too!!!! I can’t wait to step on stage and show off my hard work….oh man is it ever hard some days are harder than others!

I am starting to think about my post competition and how things will go….will I become depressed and get the blues, rebound, gain weight?…I know I will make a plan...I always have one. Next on my mind...How I will place in the show? All the hard work and then its over what will be my next set of goals?….and the topics to write about to keep everyone visiting my blog until I start prepping for my next show ha ha...ok...now let's back up and get through this one first….lol
