D Day........... or really C - Competition Day!!!!!!

Definitely up with the birds this morning, awake at about 4.30am, after having woken during the night too!

I'm excited..................................... which is a change from a couple of days ago where I felt a bit apprehensive, intrepid about it all.

Today, though, I feel confident and strong.................. confident with my musculature and strong, after a mini workout....................... I will need to do a few more of these today as I believe it is good for the muscles plus good for the mind to remind you about what has bought you to this point in time, competing for what?  Competing to showcase the hard work I have put into building muscle for the last 7 months, yes, ONLY 7 MONTHS!!!  Incredible it seems to me and I am so proud of my body and how it has adapted to weight training.............. see below........

OMG, this is after the fifth layer of tan that Tanning Lady requested to take some photos!  I am one proud woman...............

So, rice cakes I have eaten then in another hour approx. I eat again, some chicken and broccoli and rice cakes again!!!  This is to put glycogen into the muscles so that they will be full and stand out..............................

I have all the gear ready to take with me, makeup, hair care, straightener, clothes, all that I may need for the day.  I get to eat, in small increments today, so that is good.  

My sister, who flew in from Adelaide yesterday, made me a yummy gluten free cake (Coconut Islander Cake) and we have champers.................. so post comp food, READY!!!!!!  

All, I need now is a shot of VODKA or CAFFEINE to see me into the day, unfortuantely neither is available so will have to go it alone.................... feeling a tad tired which will hopefully dissipate once the adrenaline kicks in!

Pictures ................. will be following.................... :)
