I had ice cream for cheat meal, and haven't really had any urge to eat it again...it's just when the family starts snacking while we're all sitting around together watching the new season of American Idol...I get the munchies too. I need to start eating some celery instead.

Thanks for the kind words, Iron...I really need all the support I can get right now! :oops:
Good to hear your not craving it.......I wouldn't think one cheat is that big of a deal. Grab that celery, and start munching. You can do it....... :D

maybe when they are eating ice cream you can grab a greek yogurt. I bought some with honey in it...not sure if that's allowed on your diet? But maybe just the plain yogurt, or some FF cottage cheese? Can you have all natural PB? You could mix that in with your yogurt.
Hang in there, you will do this! I love the color of your suit, that is gonna be gorgeous on you! :D (course, you could wear a potato sack and look fantastic! :wink: ) but I know you will look great! Especially with a good dark tan, up against that color. :D

Hi everyone! Just a little over 9 weeks left until the show. Wow. 9 weeks! I woke up this morning with butterflies...it's like everything is finally sinking in and the show is just around the corner. goodness...I hope I'll be ready! I'm really nervous!

Sticking with training and diet...everything seems to be going well and I am still making progress with what I am doing now. As the old adage goes, 'if it ain't broke, don't it.', so I'm not changing a thing right now. trainer is still increasing weights on me, and I'm still able to lift them. That's a good sign. I went to the infamous Pike's Place Market in Seattle last weekend and picked up a bunch of fresh vegetables...and I have been LOVING them!

I guess that's all to report. I just wish there was more time in a day!

Well, Tuesday evening I had very first competition dream. I guess that means it official!!? It was kinda a stressful dream whereby I got sprayed in the head (thereby ruining hairdo) with a sprinkler on way to the building where the show was. And the show was sooo small a lot of the competitors were thinking about not competing and were angry. It was a strange dream...but at least it didn't involve food...and all the yummy things I'm restricted from right now! Ha!

Speaking of restrictions, I have been doing fairly well with the diet...and I think I have undone all the damage I did when I "fell off the wagon" last week. I seem to be continually making progress sticking to current plan, however I know that body will probably get accustomed to what I'm eating now, and I'll get stuck at some point. I am predicting the next time I get stuck will be around 8 weeks. At that time plan is to take out morning lattes...which by the way, for those of you who don't know me well (yet), are VERY favorite thing in the WHOLE wide world! I'm REALLY sad about this... :oops:

I'm going down to sunny Arizona next Friday to see BFF and soak in some rays. Ah, rainy Washington weater: I need a break from you! Sunshine, here I come!! I think I'll be okay with diet on this trip...

Two weeks later, I'll be headed to California with family. husband and kids are going to be going to Knottsburry Farm and Disneyland, but I am going to skip those days with the family and instead spend some beach and gym time. I just think a candy and ice cream filled amuzement park would be PURE torture at that stage of the diet. Plus, I'll be about 4-5 weeks out from the competition, so it will be crunch time.

Checked delivery status on suit and I should be receiving it in the mail today! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO excited! Yay me!

Hope all's well with everyone!

Unfortunately I won't be able to check the mailbox until I get home from work today. And today, for some reason, seems to be the slowest workday in the history of mankind. Plus, someone is eating something that smells delicious for lunch and it's making me feel like chewing off left arm. I can't wait for oatmeal in an hour and a half!
