happy Friday everyone. I think I have said before that I am finding the pre competition diet a bit of a struggle. Just in case you don't remember, the short version of my rant is "I don't like fish and am allergic to egg whites so what am I supposed to eat for protein.....oh ya chicken. Chicken, chicken, chicken... Have I mentioned too thst I am on the fence about chicken too. Some of the frozen varieties are loaded with crap, sodium, soy, sugar and other stuff I can't pronounce. And lately I have found that the quality of fresh chicken has been lousy too. Even buying the "good"stuff I found very badly cleaned chicken. If it looks good enough for me to buy it is still a crap shoot and quite often it has been tough, no matter how it's cooked. For a picky eater like me it makes it tough to eat the protein I need. BUT then yesterday my trainer took some pictures of my back while I was working out. Well, now I'm super stoked to keep this ball rolling! I couldn't believe that what I was seeing belonged to me. My back looked big and strong and I could see muscles, yes actual muscles. It was awesome. It's not the most perfect but it is a work in progress. Now I'm super excited to keep working. It is so hard to believe to me that I have gone from a 300+ pound couch potato to someone considering a competition, not just dreaming about it, ACTUALLY GOING FOR IT! Holy crap! I think sometimes I should pinch myself but all I have to do is move and my sore muscles remind me ........ TTYL....
