Fly's Countdown to Competition Log

[FlyBrownChick]

Morning, folks.

Mermaid, my balsamic vinegarette is 1 tbs balsamic vinegar, 1 small clove of garlic chopped finely, 1 tsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. It's good! I hate mustard, but you could add dijon mustard if you wanted.

That's likely a good idea, Treil. I added it now per my trainer. She believes caffeine+synephedrine or ephedrine combined with fasted cardio does improve fat loss. We shall see...

Wonderwoman...very interesting. Once I am done with this T-Rex, I'll order some CB as well. I'll probably start cycling them when I do.

4 AM, god bless your heart girl. I did make it for cardio at 5:45 today, but 4 AM!! What time does your head hit the pillow at night?

You're looking low-carb today; me too. I'm going to steal some of your meals. Grilled shimpees sound yummy. My grams did them for an appetizer on Easter Sunday. Especially for me she said, because she knew I wouldn't eat the dinner rolls! LOL....

Looks good FBC, but I am with WW on the 4 am!! That is craziness - how do you do it?

Fly, I'm just gonna call you the recipe queen from now on. What exactly do you put in your greek turkey burger (sorry if this is a repeat question, but I just started catching up on everyone's log)?

Thanks for your sweet comments in my log too! My neck and shoulders are feeling all better today.

Alright...so yesterday was BAD.

I haven't been able to go to the bathroom for days. Despite eating upwards of 35g of fiber, my body has gone into major distress. I have a lot going on in my life right now...mostly dealing with work. Yesterday, I was so bloated that I could not button my pants despite eating clean and dropping fat for quite a few weeks.

Competition prep is going to go on the back burner for now. I am going to continue to drop fat because...well, it's that time of year! Right now is just not the time to be stressed with competition prep as I will soon either a) not have a job or b)have to prove myself to a new boss.

I'll get a mod to change the title of my thread. I love EF too much to leave. I'll still follow my trainer's diet for the next 4 weeks and possibly longer depending on how much further I have to go. I will assess in 4 weeks and make that decision.

My biggest task now? Relieve myself of enough stress to actually be able to relieve myself.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

No no no! You've worked to hard and come so far to quit now! Think about all you resisted on Easter Sunday, you are strong girl!!!

Thinking happy thoughts and sending good vibes your way...

 

[FlyBrownChick]

Thanks, Wonder. I'm not quitting...just postponing. There is another show in November that I may do, depending on my status.

The truth of the matter is, if my health is not up to par then competing is the last thing I should be doing. And if I lose my job, I won't be able to afford to compete. This is just the sensible thing to do right now.

It wasn't easy for me to make this decision, but I have no choice. Day 4 and I still haven't been able to go potty. 35g of fiber a day and I can't potty...NOT good at all.

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

I agree- physically and mentally, you have to be on-point to compete.

I know I already send some good vibes, this time I'll send some laxatives your way too. It's gotta come out - and soon - or you'll end up looking three months pregnant, or even worse, exploding...! Cheer up, have a laugh or two, ok?

SO sorry dear!!! Yeah finances and health come first!!! Just keep on doing what you need too girl!
