I cannot believe it is only 3 days out now, but I'm really beginning to look forward to things. I've done all I can do and apart from trying to "de-dork" myself in the routine - that is my greatest problem, I look "wooden" doing the routine sometimes- I am really very happy with my preparation.
Weight has dropped a smidge and I am really enjoying not carb depleting - had extra again today and taught RPM - gave them a thorough pasting which was great fun. Got my distilled water today and planning my low sodium day for Friday - cannot believe how much sodium is in everything so I will have to be careful. At least it is only for 24 hours :)
I picked up all of my gear from Lorna Jane this afternoon. I could not believe the girl grinning back at me in the "XS" size with a six pack to boot. I stood there feeling so lucky and amazed at where this journey has taken me! When I think of the day I laid in bed at 85kg (187 pounds) and decided to get up and get going, rather than stay down, I must admit I feel pretty emotional.
Sometimes I compare myself to others and worry about my stretch marks and loose skin, that I'm not "good enough" to be up on stage, I'm "too old", not attractive enough and that it's all not real! I guess I still have those mental hurdles to overcome, but I'd say that most of the time I am happy now in my own skin and really hope that I reflect that happiness within when Saturday rolls around.

I am so proud of you. I wish I could be there to watch you on stage. I am sure it is tough to get through the mental part and the comparing, but look how far you have come. you are such an inspiration to me! You and Julie A are giving me the bug to try this comp. deal.
Thanks so much Julie! You are an inspiration to me as well. I think you'd do a fantastic job with a comp if ever you decided to go down that route :)

Liz, I will be thinking of you over the weekend. You should be so proud of how far you have come. Remember, don't compare yourself to others, it is all about changes you have made.
I was laughing at you caining your RPM class. You sound like me, when I am worn out form comp stuff I usually give them all a bit of a rev up!! LOL
Look forward to hearinghow you go on weekend, good luck!!!
