3 weeks out.......

3 weeks out until my show.  This week went super fast.  On Tuesday, my weight went down to 132.8, then on Wednesday went up to 134.6.  Weighing in today at 133.2 which is good, means I held my weight for this week.  It's funny how my body fluctuates.  I think stress plays a huge factor with weight and holding on to it, so does sodium.  I try and have set days to weigh  myself so I don't get consumed with just a number.  When I weighed myself on Wednesday, at 134.6 was on a day not scheduled.  I knew I should not have gotten on the scale, as when I saw I put on that pound+ it messed with my mind.  I worried that I was gaining weight, knowing it was probably due to salt and stress, two NO NO's!  lol.  Here it is Saturday, and I am at a good holding weight.  This is why in this process it is good to have yourself STICK to the set weigh in days you decide.  Mine are Tuesday's (this is the day I work out with my trainer, so I let her know where I am at) and Saturday's (as this is the exact week,s, out marker of my show)  Getting on the scale on Wednesday, shows me that's what I get for not sticking to my set days.  This comp can consume you if you don't have limits and control.  This is why I set days for weigh ins.  I also, plan out on a calendar my cardio, workout days to help organize my time, and time with my family.  It's a balance to work in all this prep and still have time for priorities, such as my family.  I tend to get a little overwhelmed trying to get my cardio, workouts in, working during the days, being mommy, and wife.  I felt like I hit a wall last night, and felt overwhelmed.  I have a LOT on my plate right now, (which is by my choice) but I know what is on my plate is for my future and is my passion.  I had a "moment" of discouragement last night but thankful I have my hubby to listen to me.  My husband is my main support, he is always there when I have "a moment". His encouraging words to keep going, letting me know I can do this, keeps me in focus.  Good thing my family understands, and supports that mommy is doing something she is passionate about.  Another posing practice is on for this morning, so it will be nice to get some feedback how I look in suit and how to fine tune my posing.   On a good note, it's daylight saving time, which means lighter later evenings, and get this......I get a cheat meal tonight!!  Yeah....date night with hubby.  Since I have stuck to my training and lost all the weight needed, she is giving me a cheat meal.  Hopefully, this helps to slow up my metabolism so I don't loose anymore.  Such a good Saturday and it's only 7:00 am.   Ending this post with words of encouragement: "I will not be discouraged about how far I have to go, I will be EXCITED about where I am headed"
