Getting it Right

Good Morning All!

It's an early morning for me, 5:30 am! I have to get my morning cardio session in early today because there is so much to do. It is not easy getting out of bed (where I would rather be) when it is dark and quiet and my bed is so warm and cozy but I think of how I want to look on stage and grab my LuLu's anyway.

Treadmill HIITs are over with. I feel great and I am chasing away my thirst with a glass of wheat grass juice. It tastes a bit like drinking a glass of grass but it is the ideal thirst quencher and keeps my skin and body clean from the inside. I simply mix the powder in water and drink.

Here is yesterday's food intake:

Just remembered! I went for another competition suit fitting. A suit is so incredibly important. A good cut can help a competitor move up in the standings or if the suit is poorly cut, can make your standing drop. It was fun selecting the color of the crystals on the suit and the pattern too. Of course I had to try on a sample suit in front of a full length mirror. This is always difficult but already I can see the hard workouts and dieting are paying off. I'll post the pics. Two weeks in, four weeks to go!

Keep the encouragement coming!
