I struggled with staying clean yesterday. I know I am not prepping for contest but I really wanted to stay strict on a diet (not crazy like prep but really clean) so that I could really build on what I gained and not have a harder prep. My diet has not been great, ok not even good. I have had a cheat meal/treat about everyday but today. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since the show so I know I need to go easy on myself but the faster I can switch my mind frame the better off I will be. I was really trying this week but when it hits afternoon I get cravings pretty bad. After a few days of failed attempts, I got mad. I don't like to fail. I don't even like to admit that I can't do something. So I got mad and I am doing it. There is fire I needed! I already feel better. I have decided against heavy carbs (no bread or pasta) because it just makes me retain water too much. I am going back to my 4 week out meal plan. I researched a lot the last few days and I should have just had one meal Saturday night then implemented my 4 week plan while slowly bringing back some carbs. Post competition is just as important as pre! I was told this but I had no clue how hard it really could be. So have a plan and stick to it. Tell a friend and hold yourself accountable...your body will thank you.
On a lighter note, I just ordered the most talked about peanut butter:
PB2...it's 45 calories, 1.5 g fat, 5g carbs, and 6g protein! The best stuff in the world if you love peanut butter. I love it so much that I cheated in contest prep and ate a rather large amount. My trainer (my husband) discovered the half eaten jar (it was small I swear) and freaked out. So with PB2 I can have my cake and eat it too :) I can't believe I just confessed that story to everyone! By the way, they have a chocolate peanut butter too. I am off to my new clean meal plan...Enjoy your evening everyone!
