Time keeps rolling by...although it seems to be going much slower these days haha.

Thats what tends to happen as I get closer and closer to the show...

I feel pretty good still. My energy is steady-I do start to get tired during the day, but for the most part, I'm good.

Sleep is so important during prep. I aim for 7-8 hours a night. I don't usually nap during the week but try to slip on in there on saturday and sundays.

Hey all!

getting closer and closer...4.5 weeks to go.

I'm still doing ok-energy is up and I'm in the zone. It didn't hurt that I was given a cheat meal this weekend by my coach, Hany. Nothing too bad..sushi (with the rice of course!) and ice cream...which, incidently, I could eat everyday, all day long. Its my fav. Just vanilla. Well, vanilla with hot fudge and nuts is better.

This is how my diet looks currently...

meal 1: 4 oz chicken (or 3/4 cup egg whites) 1/2 cups oats (I sneak in a handful of frozen berries too!)

Meal 2: 4 oz mahi or tilapia and 3.5 oz sweet pot

Meal 3: 4 oz salmon or chicken 3.5 oz red pot and spinach

Sorry I was MIA yesterday...I met with my competition suit designer (Caroline Masse cc swimwear) to chose my color and stones. Caroline is awesome to work with BTW and she does a beautiful job!

I chose deep purple with lighter purple and pink stones. Its going to be amazing. I was thumbing through InStyle magazine during one of my carido sessions and I saw that purple is the "in" color this fall! I had a purple suit two years ago for the Arnold...or Olympia...can't remember...a
