It's about 11 PM here and I have now been up since 4:45 AM, worked 12 hours, had a leg workout in the AM and a cardio workout after 915. I've also managed to roast some asparagus, broccoli and make my eggs for tomorrow because its going to be a mission to get out of bed tomorrow for arms and hamstrings haha!
But I promised myself I would blog every day for the next 9 days for my sanity and to get out some of my last minute emotions and frustrations.
First! a happy moment! look what I found? high protein bread people! Bread. O. M. G. how amazing is this? Apparently they make BAGELS too! so Naturally, I bought a loaf, gave a few slices to my trainer, and the rest is sitting in my freezer for post competition.
Other then That Today has been pretty difficult. Tomorrow is supposed to be carb load up day, but I am holding off until Sunday after that its fish and chicken until Thursday and Friday will be another carb up day...
SOOOOO close but right now it feels so distant. I wish I had one more week to train, but at the same time I want it to be here to morrow so I can just eat my shredded Wheat with Almond milk already Geez lol.
Ok its time for me to finish the Rest of my packing for tomorrow. HOpe you all had a great Thursday! TGIF tommr baby!
I've got to get myself some high-protein bread! I've tried Dark Chocolate PB before, but a different brand. There is no whey in it, but it is super delicious. The brand is called Peanut Butter and Co. and they sell it at Whole Foods. They also have a White Chocolate Dreams flavour and Cinnamon Swirl. To DIE for!
ReplyDeleteseriously dark chocolate pb? too good to be true! xx
ReplyDeleteOh that is extremely cool that you found a dark chocolate peanut butter . Wow and then that bread is also cool. Well done on the findings.
ReplyDeleteI am so jalous!In Italy you can't find products like these...They look delicious!

Hang in there! At this point, I think I took things hour by hour. Keeping myself busy and distracted was a huge help. Also, if you haven't already, cutting artificial sweeteners may help. I cut all gum, except Trident because it's made with xylitol which is a natural sweetener, crystal light, sugar free sauces and felt so much better several weeks out from my comp.
ReplyDeleteIt's all mental! You are doing amazing!
Oh my goodness, we are SO much alike! I just found the Vermont Peanut Butter too! I got the Monkey Business flavor (banana pb with raisins). It's not too bad in terms of sugar--3g per 2tbsp (and 10g protein!!), but I've tried to stay away from all PB during prep. That being said, I just got 2 jars of PB2 in the mail...so I have included those in my prep :)
ReplyDeleteThe places I would like to put that peanut butter ooh yeah. I'll have to look out for that here. I already told my bf about it. Hehe. Your cardio tweet made me laugh. It's zumba day for me again. Weaktoids! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't like peanut butter and have only eaten it maybe 3 times in my life? lol I didn't grow up with it but I do like strawberry jams! :D
ReplyDeleteI got up at 4:45 today too :)
ReplyDeletegirl you gotta take some breaks in there, that is one hectic schedule to maintain. a 9-dayer....oh my! can't believe that combo of chocolate peanut butter realy exists needs to make it's way into my cupboard asap. happy weekend lades!
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I didn't really grow up eating much peanut butter at all, it's not a favourite for me maybe I will try it , especially since I love bagels. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI hear there are better versions of this choco and peanut butter! I was told its like having nutella with peanut butter together! Amazing combo no? and imagine that with banana! haha
