Halfway through the week and I have been feeling better and better. I met with Pete yesterday to go over the new diet, body fat percentage, progress, and just to flat out shoot the .... It went really well and I felt a lot better about things when I left. We had a good time joking around and talking about what is too come these final weeks until Vancouver. I am still allowed coffee WITH Splenda in it, Boo-ya! However, I now have to limit my gum intake to no more than 3 pieces a day (Very hard for me who can easily chew a pack a day, not sure why it is, maybe a nervous habit?) and I am supposed to be drinking 2 gallons, I repeat 2 gallons, of water a day. This is by far the hardest part for I can get a gallon in but then my belly distends so far out you could rub it for good luck! The diet is going good except I am hungry! It is getting harder and harder to make it until my next meal time without wanting to eat something, anything with in reach so I apply more hand lotion than humanly possible to keep my hands busy (well and soft of course!) After Pete, I ran to our team Stylist to try out my new hair... It is Sa-weet and I am soo excited to wear it in the show. It adds about 6 inches of length to my hair as well as fullness and I almost look like a Chia-pet thingy that magically grew beautiful hair (minus the fact that Chia pets grow grass and not hair but that's besides the point). I was really late getting into the gym for round 2, which made it impossible to find a parking spot AND a piece of cardio equipment but I got in there and got it done. The gym is soo busy around 6pm and is filled with the most random individuals which in turn makes cardio fly by because I am too busy people watching to pay attention to the time. I got home, attempted to get some things done, before realizing it was past my bed time and I had another early morning coming my way.
I spend entirely way too much time in my car, driving from one thing to the next and I am pretty sure I need a personal driver. Well one of those as well as a cook, a house cleaner, and a green bean/asparagus farmer. So if I can meet me one of them and marry him, I will be set. I was listening to Nicki Minaj yesterday and her song "Fly" came on my I-pod. The lyrics jumped out at me and I had to repeat the song 3 more times. The chorus is as follows:
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
to fly
to fly
I love these lines! I feel like they describe my everyday life and my journey that I am on. I come to win.Win on my journey. I come to fight. Fight every food craving, every battle that stands between me and my goal. The internal battle I have with myself that I am never good enough. I come to conquer. Conquer every workout, every sweaty cardio session, every meal, every practice. I come to thrive. Thrive off my successes. thrive on the feeling of being a strong confidant woman. I come to survive. I will survive anything and everything that is thrown at me, no matter how much I want to give up. I come to prosper and to rise. Rise against those who do not believe in me and prosper from everything I have learned and experienced thus far. I come to fly. Fly as my own person. Fly with my own wings to wherever I want to go.
Ciao for now, J
