Day 5 - One Day Closer!

Only 5 days left and I feel good! The next 5 days will be tough mainly because I have to change my meal plan so much. I cannot chew gum along with several more things I have to cut out of my diet. It's only for a few days and then I can look forward to a cheat meal. I never really go crazy with the cheat meals and I think on Sunday I will go to one of my favorite restaurants, The Big Bowl. I'll probably just have the grilled salmon but I plan on having dessert and I have to find somewhere to have chocolate cake or brownies.

I feel better going into this competition than the last one and that was definitely one of my goals. I wanted to see improvements and so far I have. I took pictures in my competition suit today and I need more crystals, so I still have to work on the bra part of my suit. I have a number of things to do to prepare for Saturday, but it's mostly pampering stuff like getting my hair done, manicure, pedicure, waxing. I can't wait! One of craziest things I read was a figure competitor who actually sat on a heating pad because she claimed that it helped melt fat from her butt! I am always amazed that people will do almost anything to lose weight. Needless to say, I will not even think of doing something like that.

Again, I have to say how thankful I am for Tony, my coach. He is the best! I am also thankful for my husband for putting up with me through all this. We haven't been eating out as much at all because he knows I have to stick to the plan! Before I was picky but since this competition I am to the extreme and he understands.

After this competition, I have to decide on what my next goal will be. I am not sure yet!
