If you aren't dreaming about food, then you are over the hump!   
Do you have cheat foods in the house cuz of your daughter?

Head down, stay focused, game ON.

Now I dream about competition disasters (hair not done, music missing, no pro tan etc...) lucky for me I have a sports minded healthy kid, she snacks on kashi bars and stuff like that, she is thinking about doing teen fitness!!! she does gymnastics and cheerleading (same time) she's really cool, helps me out a lot!

That's Awesome!  LOL I remember those dreams too hahaha.  That just means you are thinking about all the right things.

I have to admit, hearing about you and Luv contest prepping is giving me the itch to get back into it.  I miss the discipline and the routine...but I am sure that once I DO get back into it, I'll be bitching about it in no time!

Rip, I know how you feel.  While I was dieting those last few weeks, I could not wait to be done.  And now that I'm done, I can't wait to start again, LOL.

As much as my body needs a break, I hate "in between" time.  I like to feel like I'm working towards something.  I'm looking forward to starting my off-season because then I have a clear cut goal when it comes to training and diet, which makes things much easier in my opinion.

Yeah, I am going to enjoy the offseason once I really lay out some goals and get into it.  BUT my problem is that unless I am on a prescribed contest diet, I am not on a diet of any sort.  And I am already feeling like I need to be back on a diet.

Luv baby, the pizza place that Blockhead took me to after Jr Nats is Phil's Pizza on 35th Street, his favorite.
Of course, I dug right into the pizza when it came to the table...
This picture has already been used against me around here, so WTF, I might as well post it again.  

See the piece that is missing from the pizza?  It burned all of the skin off the roof of my mouth.   Well worth it though!

prettiest smile of any woman on here.

LOL thats hilarious, I always do that with pizza, burn the roof of my mouth, ouch!

Man seeing that pizza is making me hungry!!  We wont be able to hit that place though as the show is in the far western suburbs of Chi-town, but still plenty of good pizza here to be had, a pizza place is one of the sponsers of the show, lol  A think they are having a party there after the show, they are known for their deep dish which I love, but my favorite is that thin crust like in your pic.  Olny 30 days, 9 hours, 43 minuites till then LOL.

[az]

wow that pizza looks good!!!!

[ripitupbaby]

Then by all means, have some pizza.  Embrace your off-season.  I bought a frozen pepperoni pizza and some ice cream last night.

Nah, I decided to start a bit early.  This way I can have Holiday dinners without feeling too guilty. 

Sucks though.  This is a first for me and I don't really have much to go by.

Giving yourself more than enough time to diet down is a good idea, esp your first time through.  It's always better to arrive early than have to panic in the final weeks.  And definitely a good idea to budget for special occasions and cheats...
Do as I say, not as I do.
