I am getting nervous to whether I am going to make this show or not. I hear a lot of girls feel that way 9 weeks out. I am really starting to show more muscle I just need to work on the leaning out part a little more. I just purchased some 100% protein fuel and some isowhey. The isowhey is specifically for water and it is quickly absorbed in your system. It doesn't taste bad but I still like chocolate the best :)
  I have been talking with my dad a lot on competing-he ran the bodybuilding in utah since way before I was born. I just found out he actually started the NPC here in utah. He helps me out and refers me to people and places where he can. I get to go to a posing seminar next month with the first figure winner of the Utah's NGA, Krissy Wolfe. She will be helping with all the things needed to know for the competition :)
 I recently got my body fat % measured and they told me it might be a little higher since I just finished working out. our muscles get dehydrated after you work out and so I will get another test done maybe next week.  Wasn't bad but I would like it down a few points for the show.
  Most days I am so burned out and ready to just order a pizza, diet coke and eat a pan of homemade chocolate cookies while laying in sweats watching my favorite movie. Even just to nibble on a box of sugar cereal sounds good to me. Last night for dinner I had the usual-grilled chicken and spinach but I also added a little chopped onion and peppers and that made it a whole new meal :) I read another competitor wrote,"You have gone this far, why take a step back? Take another step forward to your goal." I liked that. everytime I am craving a cookie, that is what I think about and ask myself how much do I want this?
  I had a couple improvements on my diet and workout routines this week so I hope I will see more improvements and so next time I come back here, I will have good news :)
