Contest Prep Update

161....that's how many days until my figure show. That may seem like a lot, but I have so much work to do time is flying by. I have a ton of muscle I need to build and fat to lose (which will come later on). I'm just hoping that when I send my coach my progress pictures next weekend he sees an improvement and thinks I can be ready in time. Otherwise I'll have to wait until next year.

Prep diet sucks. All I've supposed to have eaten the last 3 weeks is this:

Meal 1: 1/2c oatmeal w/1 scoop protein powder
Meal 2: 4oz chicken with 4oz sweet potato
Meal 3: 4oz chicken or turkey with 4oz brown rice
Meal 4: 6oz fish with small salad and vinaigrette
Meal 5: 6 egg whites

Do you have any idea how hard it is to eat 5 meals a day? My schedule is so crazy during the week that I've only managed to do 4. Usually it's the egg whited that gets missed. I've discovered that I'm an emotional eater too. If I'm having a bad morning at work, all I want to do is go to the cafeteria and get a big greasy burger or something deep fried. Gah....I've had some cheat meals too. It's all a head game.

The gym is going well....I meet with my personal trainer Daryl every Monday and we set up a game plan for the week. I've been doing his torture plan 3 days a week and getting cardio in 5 days a week. The treadmill has become my best friend. I've been making it a little more tolerable by watching Lost on Netflix during my walking. An episode is roughly 40min, and that's how long I need to be walking. It's a perfect combo! There will come a day when I'll probably need to do the stair mill, but that's not now. My heart rate goes up just thinking about climbing on that thing.

I think that's it for now....next week I'll post my progress pictures....day 1 to current day. Please try not to laugh.
