10 days count down!

Only 10 days to go till my first show AND I’ve got a cold/sinus infection! *lol* I’m just going to have to take it one day at a time, I can’t stress about this since I’ve been stressing enough. I want this to be an enjoyable experience, and I will make it so!

I skipped my cardio this morning since I was tossing and turning all night yesterday; I was hot and was running a low grade fever. I even woke myself up a couple of times snoring (never done that before! HA!), I was having a little bit of a breathing problem. So, I opted for the extra sleep and if weather permitting, I’ll just go for a walk during lunch time and do my cardio tonight. I’ll make it a HIIT session, if my body allows me too!

I’m maintaining my weight at about 124.5 lbs, I haven’t really dropped on the scale for the past two weeks, but that’s what we want. I’m physically “ready” for the show, just a few adjustments needed and we are good to go. You only get that contest “look” the day of the show; I’ll have a different look next weekend v.s. this weekend! *lol*

I’m also very excited about meeting Stef this weekend, I’m definitely looking forward to having a kick butt workout, I haven’t had a workout partner in a long time!! I’ll have to ask her what she would like to workout…legs or back?? Want to follow my workout routine?

Anyway, I need to make this short since I’m blogging from work. :-)

Wish you all a great day!
