Okay, so I'm just about off of work. Then I'm off to get my eyebrows waxed, check to see if I can get my hair done for tomorrow (was going to do it myself, but figured why not see??), go over checklist/pack, paint on coats of tan, get food prepped, practice posing...some more!, and try to relax:-) I just hope I can get to bed at a decent time. A lot of people have a hard time sleeping the night before a show, but I never seem to. I can't wait until tomorrow night! I really, really, REALLY hope I win!!! I want to win it so bad with everyone there:-) I think I want it so bad that I might be jinxing myself. Don't think about it, there's nothing you can do. Okay, I feel better, sort of.
A lot of people ask me what I've been eating. It's not bad, it's just restricted. Actually, my diet was really not bad at all until just about 4 weeks ago when I had to cut out my carbs. It really seemed to make a difference with me.
What I will/have eat(en) today:
M1:
6 egg whites w/ hot sauce
1 grapefruit w/ stevia
coffee

M2:
4oz. turkey sloppy joe's meat
2 cups mixed veggies

M3:
6oz. turkey sloppy joe's meat
2 cups veggies

M4:
2 scoops protein powder

M5:
8oz. turkey sloppy joe's meat
2 cups veggies

M6:
2 scoops protein powder

I eat a lot of the same thing strictly for convenience. I could make different stuff, but it would just be more time consuming right now, and I'm all about saving my time!
Tomorrow, I will eat the same for Meal 1, but the rest may vary because cold veggies are GROSS!!! I will most likely have some protein powder, then PB w/ honey on a rice cake before I pump up, a chicken salad w/ low fat ranch (what I ate for both other shows, so maybe it will be good luck!), then some more PB w/ honey minus the rice cake. Then we will probably go somewhere like TGIFriday's or something. I will definitely find some yummy things there!
TGIF!!!!
~wish me luck!!

I WON OVERALL!!!

I can't believe it! I won the overall in Grand Rapids!!!! What an amazing feeling. It was a good class, and I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to go. The other 2 girls (in med/tall classes) had both won their classes at different shows before, so I knew it could have been any one of us. When they said my name I wanted to jump up and down! Unfortunately, since most of my friends and family are coming to the Redford this weekend, only one person got to see it. Chrissy, thanks again for coming with me......and dealing with painting my backside!!! LOL!

Well, this is it, this weekend is my last show for the season. I hope I can pull it off again, but I think this will be the toughest competition yet! I'm excited, anxious, and a bit nervous. I am Nationally Qualified now so some of the pressure is off, but I really want to win and finish on a winning streak!

I also can't wait to go out afterwards and eat and drink myself sick! I had a nice rib dinner treat dinner last week, but no dessert and I still kept it within reason. After this Saturday there will be no reasoning with me....I will be feasting!

So, I'm off to go home, cook some kufta (ground meat), get my nails done, wash suit, puffs, and paint some more coats of Pro Tan on. I'm getting SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!
