6 weeks out...maybe....

Hey Everyone! I've had a great week of weight loss! I lost 7.2 lbs in 5 days. This morning I weighed 119.2. I've looked back at the last shows and my weight at 6 weeks out has been.

115.0 - 2007 1st show
123.4 - 2008(attempt at 2nd)
117.2 - 2008 2nd show
114.4 - 2008 3rd show

So i'm gonna keep plugging away and see what happens. I said if I was 120.0 at 6 weeks out i'll give it a go so i'm going :) I'll send in my application for the show on 5/19/09. I'll know for sure if i'll be ready by then or not. I'm really not gung ho about this show to be honest with you. I mean I was on a freaking cruise at 8 weeks out for pete's sake. I'll do my best though...i'm not a quitter!

I feel great right now! My body is looking better and I don't have "carb face" LOL! Love that term ;) My ultimate goal is to be 115 and enjoy life. That doesn't mean I eat pizza etc...but that I can relax and eat a salad from a restaurant without feeling guilty. Yes, I told you all I have mental problems HA! I had it all figured out after my 2nd show last year. I was eating some treats on the weekends and still maintaining at 113. Then I did my show, gained to much after that, Thanksgiving came, Christmas, cold weather, you all get the point. Parts of me wonders what I can do with my physique if I do get to 115 and don't do the dry out and gain TONS of bloatedness after a show hmmmmm....that'll be my next journey.

i understand about the mind games too! BUT do what you said and keep plugging away and just do your best-if you do that then the battle is won and you can BE HAPPY with your body! i think everybody gains at least 5lb back after a show,if not more-the best way to combat that is to 1) accept that it is almost impossible to maintain "show shape" 24/7 year round, 2) accept that you will gain about 3 or more lbs after the show,
3) DO allow yourself 2 cheat days right after the shows and then go back to "clean" eating again,but add in a cheat meal on the weekend for the sake of sanity....that way you will still maintain a relative lean figure figure and avoid a prolonged "carb face"!!!
SO having said all that-do keep on keepin on chica!!!!(oh and congrats on the wieght loss btw!)
