I cannot believe I am already 13 weeks out. I am super pumped to do this show with all my Diva friends. It is going to be tricky because of work but I am doing it because it is a once in a lifetime chance. I am thinking after this show I will do the Tulsa show 2 weeks after that and then I am probably going to call it quits with competing at this point. I am really wanting to start learning Yoga and maybe get certified as an instructor. My back is really bothering me these days and I think the yoga would really help a ton. With all the workouts and my busy schedule there is no time left in the day to include some yoga. After the gallbladder surgery my back has just killed me. I think they dropped me or something because it did not hurt like this before I went in. It is all lower back and around my pelvic area. I mean it aches like no other but I push through it and just deal with it. I do use a foam roller and that has helped. My doc gave me pills but I flushed them. They made my heart race and I hate taking prescription crap.
Eating is great this go around even though I have really enjoyed being relaxed and not having to stress about having my food with me 100% of the time up until the last few weeks. I know once I hit that 12 week mark it has to be 100% and nothing better but don't think for a second I will be giving in to any food that is not on plan this week because I won't. I want this to be my best show yet!
Oh and if you are wondering about the Stove to Go! It rocks!It is lighter than my lunch backpack. I plug it in on my way to work with meal #2 and I can eat when I get to work and then put in meal #3 and it is ready by lunch. I highly recommend this especially if you are in your car a lot like me.

I'm glad the stove is working out for you!!! As for the yoga, I love it and see so many benefits from it. Sometimes I only have time to do the 20-min free classes from YogaDownload.com. But those 20 min makes a world of difference in my opinion.
If you're having problems with Inflammation or pain, possibly try taking things like Bromelian supplements.
Bromelain is a Protein digesting enzyme, (Protease), found in Bromeliads like Pineapple, but one of it's properties is that it can help with Inflammation.
Also Quercetin that is an Anti-inflammatory an Anti-histamine found in Apples, Peppers and Onions is also good, and can be bought supplementally, so another possibility to consider.
GOOD LUCK with everything and best wishes to you.
