Five days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!! I compete in the NY Pro fitness on Saturday!!! I am actually getting excited, and not having any panic attacks........hee hee hee:) I really don't feel the pressure like I did when I was trying for my Pro card. There is nothing "riding" on this contest....I am going for the experience, to do my best, and to get my face out there. I am bringing in my best physique, my best routines, and that is all I could ask for. Wherever the judges place me......they place me. I did a dress rehearsal of my 45 second routine today (catsuit and all).....it went really well, just a couple of bugs to work out:) There is NO way you cannot feel sexy in that cat suit.....hot mama! The guys at the gym were a little puzzled by it though;)

I am on day one of my carb depletion. I carbed up yesterday and had a controlled cheat meal last night. Then total carb depletion today and tomorrow- then a carb up and cheat meal on Wednesday. Then 2 more days of total carb depletion......fun, fun, fun! The good news is that I have lost 1/2 inch on all of my butt and thigh measurements in the last week! I am actually seeing some of the "crack fat" going away......(I swear Michelle).

I got to see the competitor list for this weekend's contest.......oh boy, what a line up! Lots of great competitors including: Tracy Greenwood, Angie Semsch, Julie Childs, Heidi Fletcher, and Regian Da Silva (my thoughts for the top 5- no particular order). So much for breaking myself in slowly:) Oh well, at least I get to compete with some of the girls that I have admired for so long. I am excited to see Heidi Fletcher and Jennifer Cassetty (the 2 girls that I was up against for the overall at my Nationals). They are both great girls.....it will be like a reunion:)

I drank 3 gallons of water yesterday, and 2 gallons today (and 2 gallons tomorrow). I have peed more than any human being should.....well, speaking of that......I must go:) Train hard, no excuses! Love ya,

Tami

p.s. By the way.......found out tonight that Bodybuilding.com is having a live webcast of my contest......so check it out if you can.....then give me feedback:)
