Can I really do this?
I was just reading up on the final week prior to the comp and boy their is a lot to prepare for. I just can't believe what needs to be done from about 7 days out, right up to the day of the comp. I know one thing for sure, I can't do this on my own!!
Anyway, as I keep telling myself "one day at a time".
Right now my physique is still changing. My concern now is my hubby. This morning he said I was getting to thin. Too thin? I still have 8 weeks to go! I really need his support and hope he dosen't freak out thoughout the next few weeks.
Just for the record im not to thin, he just thinks I am lol. I weigh in tomorrow (I do this every two weeks) so I will see where im at on the scales. But the scales dont mean much to me as I can tell by my clothes. They are currently falling off me.
Which brings me to my next problem. We are going out for dinner tomorrow night to celebrate my hubbies birthday and I have nothing to wear because nothing fits. I have to go shopping.
Ok so the BF is coming off and now I see muscle definition in places I have never seen it before. I cant stop flexing in the mirror lol.
Today I have this belief that I can get to the final week out from the comp, from there I am frightened. At first I was worried about not being thin enough, now im worried about being to thin and im sure these thoughts will go back and forth for the next 8 weeks. Its weird because one day i feel like I have made no changes in days, and then all of a sudden I feel I have had a huge change almost overnight.
If I knew I had someone there helping me out on the day I would have more confidence. I dont even know how to put the bikini on lol. I haven't got that yet anyway.
Where is my head at? It is completely positive and I have been so happy the last few weeks. I feel really good. I have come down with a cold of some kind and I still feel fantastic. It all too weird lol.
My training is awesome even with this bug I have been hitting some great targets with my weights and reps. I am already becoming vascular. I must say its a little freaky at first to see veins popping out when you training, but im getting used to it.
Cardio is going perfectly. I am getting really fit in the process. I just love the high I get from it and that feeling is what gets me back on there everytime.
So thats my latest update :-) All is going well and I feel like im right on schedule.
Also my nutrition is very good. But I would like to mention that noone is perfect when it comes to eating. The main thing is to get right back on track and then it all works out just fine.
Tomorrow I will have a glass or two of champagne to celebrate my hubby's birthday and I am looking forward to it. Extra cardio on Sunday for that lol.
I hope everyone has a great weeekend.
Your hubby thinks your too thin?!!! I would be happy with that!!!! I love veins popping out when you train - I love the ones you get in your abs when your really lean!!!
I am glad you are happy and feel on track with everything.....after reading competitors comp my first thought was "how does anyone manage the last week with so much to do" I guess having a helper helps and probably after the first comp it will get easier....I am sure Lia will be able to guide you in that regard.
I have been 5 weeks without a drink and even knocked back the glass of champange offered to me today!!! Hope you enjoy your glass tomorrow!!!

How exciting Deb, things are coming along so well, I just hope that I do not miss out on this comp.
Don't stress about ur hubby, he will think ur hot on the day. Mine thought that I was getting to thin when I lost only 5 kilo's a while back but he loved that he could see my 6pack!!
It is kinda weird/gross to see veins pop out everywhere isnt it, i dont mind if it is in ur arms etc but i hate the ones that pop out on ur collar bone. They are the nasty lookin ones, so big & all, I get so embarrased by that one in particular.
Good for u anyway, enjoy ur champers tonight!!

Hi Deb,
By "comp" do you mean "comprehensive" as in part of the degree requirements for a degree? If so, I wish you luck. I remember the summer I dragged a set of textbooks everywhere getting ready for mine. But I passed and can now pass myself off as a propeller head :o)
To Love, Honor and Dismay

Ow Deb it truly is great to come across to your blog and read how marvellously well you are doing!!!!
I just can’t wait for your comp!! and time is ticking on by and it is getting closer.
I’m sure your husband will come around; he knows how much this means to you. Sometimes they just need time to adjust don’t they.
Don’t stress and like others posted there will be people there to help you.
I hope you had a marvellous night out for your hubby’s birthday!!!!
