No, sorry Bling Master says no photos till just before the day so you, have to wait for....5 more sleeps... I have 6 more sleeps.... But I have to say even the Bling Master has outdone himself this time and I am totally in awe of his patience and work... seems a shame to wear them... I am going to get a couple of shadow boxes and frame my first one and the one I am wearing at the Olympia with some photos around them so I can look at the and treasure the memories...
Which is really NOT me at all, until this year you would be lucky to count the number of photos of me as an adult on one hand, but finally I have learned to love ME, how I look and be proud of who I am so bring on the camera and the frames to hang the photos in!!!!
Now as anyone who has done a competition will tell you, about now in the count down (Sometimes even before now) you start to think long and hard about what will be the very first non diet food you eat as you step off the stage at the end of the competition...
I have to be honest here and say I have not really been interested in making junk food my treat for afterwards, I toyed with the whole Hungry Jacks Triple Cheese Burger idea, but I can still remember how sick that made me when I ate one last time and I really have made a choice to not eat that sort of JUNK again... Then I read Dr Weils book and yep.. do not want to eat that again... ICK!
So then of course I thought of chocolate... hmmm I did eat choccy nuts and raisins last time but once again I felt crappy the next day and I also found I craved savory more than sweet afterwards so they really don't interest me...
Then today I was surfing through my favorite blogs and found this on the Eat Oxygen Blog !!!!!!!!!!!! OHHHH MYYYY GODDESS!!!! This is IT!!!!
I want one (ok maybe THREE!!!!) of these waiting for me in a plastic bag for when I have finished!!! Sugar free jam, natural peanut butter and a banana...
NOW I AM REALLY COUNTING THE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been handling the pre-contest diet ok, in fact my diet hasn't changed much for the last 4 weeks and wont change now until Thursday so I am pretty happy most of the time, and only exhausted some of the time... I even managed to sit in a BP Service Station today and drink my black coffee (which is actually how I have my coffee) while being assaulted by the smell of freshly baked sausage rolls... and I didn't shed one tear LOL
But, I have been suffering from FIGMENTS.... Yes I have been craving FIGS???? Dried Figs??? WTF?? I haven't had one of those in.... hell I can not even remember having one since moving here so at least five years... weird... figs, go fig-ure, sorry couldn't resist... LOL
This week I am going to be buying muffin pans and a loaf tin cause I am determined to bake some protein muffins and Zucchini loaf, and protein banana bread for my morning teas...
I am very happy eating what I am eating but more of it with a bit of variety, after the comp... Its easy to prepare every night, its clean and fresh to eat, and I know whose hands have been playing with it.. so that's the post contest food plan...
Now I'm off to do the egg white omelet and broccoli thing and tomorrows meals for me and the now-feeling-much-better-and-will-finally- see-the-doctor-tomorrow Bling Master... typical, but at least I am now sleeping in our bed again...

im glad that bling master is feeling better. keep the dr appt, they'll tell you if theres another go round with this bug.
the protein muffins and zucchini loaf sound excellent. and that banana, YUMM!!! its been 4-5 wks for me, i broke down. i had 2 slices of pizza and red wine Friday night. but it was wheat boboli, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and olive oil. so it wasnt horrible. savory craving has been fed now ;)
