I'll let you know in a week! 

big mental game not to crack. not miss a cardio session, cycle of HIIT, get every rep, don't over eat. it's all mental.

Well, I'm tired and hungry (duh!)........but I'm beginning to get excited!

But this seems to be the slow part of prep.....up until about 2 weeks out, time flies & it keeps getting closer & closer but I don't feel I will be ready until all of a sudden it's 2 weeks out and I kinda just want it to BE here finally......entry forms are in, membership is paid, hotel booked, tanner on ice, suit here - now it's just wait & wait & wait some more....

I know at this point I won't be the leanest gurl out there but it is what it is and I'm anticipating the experience & seeing my friends!! Tho I am nervous about forgetting my routine when I'm on stage!! LOL

Thanks bud!!  Appreciate it more than you know!!  I kept a lot of my muscle this time and I was told I have the "bodybuilder physique" so I accomplished what I wanted to....

i feel like i'm going to fall apart LOL. i am so fatigued right now. at least i am still kicking ass a work, at least i still get out of bed on time, at least i still have fun with my son. my workouts are just plain sucky! i know i shouldn't be doing heavy weights but its just not normal to go in a gym and not move something heavy or feel like i'm gonna set a new PR today. but i do love that i feel this way. i know most people in their lifetime won't ever push themselves this hard, let alone in 3 different areas of their life (career, family the other 2). i know the reward of this hard work so that is why you just keep on keepin on. i don't have the metalic taste in my mouth but a swig of apple cider vinegar making me happy, is probably just as weird LOL
