4th place: $250 and a totally sweet engraved trophy, not to mention my actual results. I’m proud of myself.

Clocked in this morning at 6:55 with a total loss of 7.27% which leaves me at 17.02% body fat. Then I had an apple cinnamon pancake for breakfast, a coconut macaroon and chocolate/peanutbutter/oatmeal cookie for my first lunch, jamba juice for my second lunch, and will be heading off to BJ’s pizza shortly for spinich artichoke pizza and pizookies. Today is possibly the best food day of my life… as it should be (and i’m absolutely bouncing off the walls from all the sugar! WOO HOO!)
EDIT: It’s 10:15 PM… I feel sick…
I turn back into a normal person… and probably gain 15 pounds in 15 minutes. OH WELL!
It’s a discouraging race to the finish. Instead of consistently good weeks, I have a progressive week, and a stagnant week. 8 weeks is a short and unfortunate time to fluctuate like that. I’m in love with the discipline this has/is taking me to accomplish what I want, but it’s so hard. I suppose that’s the true beauty in it, the trials. Trials are what make life so exquisite. I like baring my own humanity so plainly: I’m mentally fatigued, emotionally drained, physically…sore, for lack of a better word (exhausted didn’t seem fitting), and I have a constant longing for See’s chocolate, creme brulee and pancakes. The money is no longer an incentive for me, my strength and determination run deeper than that, I’m in it to show myself I can do it, because its important to me, because it means something.
I’m in the middle of an 8 week fitness contest, it’s really killing me. I’m eating around 1100 calories a day and working out 6 days a week… sometimes twice. I have a trainer 2 times a week and yesterday I was up at 4:45 to do a 5 mile run, and saw my trainer later in the evening. 2 weeks and 6 days to go. I’m exhausted. With work and school everyday, and daily life obligations, I have no time for anything, I don’t even have time to be writing this, but I’m feeling exhausted and thus rebelious today, I need a break. Upside is, if I win first place, I get $1500 that’s my sad, human incentive.
