Hey everyone!! I am still alive (barely at this point!) hehehe no I am doing ok just been extremely busy trying to get everything situated for the trip, get my cooking done and get ready for the week after I get back as there is a local show that I will be helping run a booth and helping my bf backstage. Anyway I am here, YEA! I got in last night and am at the hotel. Unfortunately not the host hotel, we are across the street, but it is close and quite and I have a microwave and refrigerator in the room so I can't complain.
Lori is coming today which I am really pumped about. I could use a babysitter, at the airport yesterday I tried to get on a flight to Orlando...good news was my food all made it on the plane and they didn't throw away my ice packs which seems to be 50/50 if they do or don't.
Currently even though my weight is down from my last show (was 118 yesterday) I don't feel as sharp. This could be that I am still holding some water but my stomach doesn't seem as flat to me and just in general I am not as vascular and my lines not as etched. Don't think there is much I can do but stay on the plan. Doing the same thing I did for the first show this year, not really changing a thing so I will have a better idea of how my body responds by doing it again. Plus Lori will take a milion pics so it will show how I fill out a bit better.
My body is really done at this point. I am really excited to be competing but my knees have had it and my body just doesn't feel strong anymore. Doing back to back bbing shows is about a million times harder then figure shows. Obviously I am nearly through but I can't imagine having more then just a few weeks before the shows...mentally it is pretty tough but physically for me it was very tough. I know a lot of competitors do the USA's and Nationals (or similar) and I give them total credit.
Right now I am a little concerned about weigh-ins, I have heard there are only 2 lightweights and maybe 4-5 middleweights. I would rather be in the larger class (well the tougher class) but then part of me thinks I should see if I could make lightweight...ugh even though it is a bit icky that I am that little. When Lori comes she will be able to look at me and I figure I just will stay on my path and whatever happens at weigh-ins happens...even if I weigh-in at 116.
Lori's connecting flight is delayed which stinks but she will get here sooner or later!
Today I have a photoshoot with Mike and that is really all. Didn't want to do too much before the show other then relax, get a little bit of work done and keep my feet up. Tomorrow we have tanning to do and weigh-ins then its show time.
Thanks everyone for the support and luck!!! Can't wait to see everyone at the show.
