Dropping

I have been doing my sprint workouts now for almost 2 weeks and in those 2 weeks I have done 3 low carb days. And by low carb I'm not talking about 20-40 grams that I hear a lot of competitors do. Oh no, low carb for me is like 180 grams. Crazy right? Well, actually the first low carb day I did was 88 grams. But my calories were way too low so we kicked them up a bit. With both things combined - it worked. I lost 1% body fat in 2 weeks. I still want more. I am low carbing it again today. It's actually not too hard to low carb it for me. It's (almost) easier. I think my body doesn't want to eat as much as I have been. I find it harder everyday to just keep eating. It's like a full time job making sure I am getting all my food in. So, low carbing it, is actually a break for me. Totally backwards for most competitors, I know. Regardless, it's a challenge for both types. Just different types of challenges. 

I found out today that all figure competitors (except the Pro) are competing on a different day than EVERYONE else. Pretty bummed about it. I want those people who are coming to see me compete be able to enjoy in all the fun. not just figure girl after figure girl. Not to mention all that estrogen in the back stage ALL competing for exactly the same thing with no one else to mix it up. Blah.

Figure suit is ALMOST done! It looks so stinkin' cute! I love it. We only have the back left. Which is a little challenging with the rouching it has, but we'll figure something out.
