Perhaps it was a mistake…but I don’t like being unprepared. Tonight’s shopping extravaganza may have triggered some cravings. One key component to competition day, not to overshadow the tan, hair and make-up, or posing run downs would be the pump up snacks.
This was a weird phenomenon last year to me as I was new to this sport. So you mean to tell me I choke down saltless chicken and asparagus for a few days and then the day I step on stage I get to eat dessert? Indeed I do!
It helps fill you out on stage and well I am not one to argue with the power of chocolate or peanut butter.
So, I have gone shopping for my pump up snacks. Yes 14 days prior to the event. The night before my final two shows of the season last year I enjoyed a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla icing from Kroger. I typically don’t choose chocolate cake, but this slice was beautiful so I got it. Then I had it again. And so this year, they still have it. I purchased a slice tonight just in case they no longer have it in two weeks. If they do, I’ll buy a fresh one. But, I kind of see it as my good luck the night before piece of cake and therefore am taking no risks. I also purchased a 4-pack of wine, those cute little bottles of crappy red wine, but it will be perfect!
I also purchased my show day treats. Do you know they have White Chocolate Reeses Eggs available in stores? There are few things better then a Reeses Egg, besides the White Chocolate variety. Heaven!!! So I have a few of those, a bag of Reeses eggs and some delicious Graeter’s chocolate covered coffee beans my sister gave me on Christmas. It shall be a marvelous day!
After having no cheats, and I mean no cheats since January 1, I hope my body does not go into total shock with these indulgences.
PUSHING…14 days!!!
