Tis the season... the competition season that is.

Yes, it is that time again! I actually love this time of year when all the holidays and stuff are behind us. It is nice to have a little break but it is so easy to get lazy and when you are surrounded by bad food constantly, it makes it really hard to stay on track. Add a surgery and no workouts for a month into the mix and, need I say more?
I have actually done pretty well considering. I tried really hard to eat clean when I could not work out. I ended up with 3 lbs on top of my 10 that I had put on after my June comp last summer. I had promised myself not to gain more than 10 and that is what I will do this season as well.
I think prepping this go around will be pretty easy. I am actually doing an NPC show in Colorado with some of my Diva peeps in May. I am about 15-16 weeks out I think. I got my official meal plan last Sunday and ended the week on a perfect note. When it says get all your cardio, workouts and stay on plan and you can have a cheat meal on the weekend, you can bet your sweet booty I will follow orders.
I ended up with homemade pizza and my homemade brownies. I only ate one and set back a few for Dave and sent the rest home with my mom today. She said she would give them to my brothers tomorrow. At least they are out of the house.
After the Colorado show I will be 14 days exactly out from the Tulsa show so I figured what the heck, I might as well. Then we are leaving for vacation which is TBA (to be announced). My little brother is getting married and it will either be a cruise or somewhere in Mexico but should know in the next month or so, so we can start planning that. I am waiting on them to make up their minds.
I am going to try to at least blog once a week to keep track of my count down to Colorado. I am super excited about this show and meeting everyone.

I finally got my kitchen completely finshed, pot rack hung, hardware on the cabinets and it looks so good. The rack holds like 25 pans but I did not hang that many on there. It sure did clean out 2 large cabinets though that I can use for other things. I have used the crap out of this island. We have no regrets for the amount of money we spent on it. I think it will be a great selling point if we ever decide to sell. Here is a pic, it is hard to tell how large it is in the pic but trust me, it is super heavy and ginormous. Dave had to get in the attic to reinforce it on the beams. Everything turned out exactly like I had it in my mind too.
