The competition is now 2 weeks away and I am running out of time. My body is not where I want it to be and unfortunately, it has taken my body a lot longer than I thought to prepare.

This week has been an emotional week and I am craving sugar badly!  I’m craving sugar that much; my nickname in our team is now Sugar!

Last night I finished work late and I had my first "no matter what moment". I normally walk in the afternoon, but didn’t have time so I had to finish it after work.

This week has been a very emotional week and I'm constantly hungry! I think this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! Why am I so hungry you ask? Well I have just had two corn thins taken out of my mid-morning snack and what a difference it has made, believe it or not I am starving right now! Although, they say if you’re feeling hungry and your tummy is rumbling it's a good sign :)

This week, I have a few things that I feel like blogging about. First of all, I am freaking sore! I have had a huge week, I am now doing 15 reps and training 7 days a week; which has left my body aching all over. Literally every step I make hurts, but motivation is key, so I decided to increase my leg presses and oh my......OUCH!

Third week in and it has been very hectic. My diet didn't change too much this week, instead of having 1/4cup brown rice for morning snack I now have two corn thins as well as my regular protein shakes throughout the day. In bodybuilding it’s important for me to increase my protein intake. Why you ask? Muscle is protein, and in order to repair muscles effectively my body requires this nutrition to do so.

Every Saturday morning we have posing practice with the rest of the team. Last Saturday was our first session; I have a long, long, long way to go!! It's just as hard as a training session. My abs were so sore!! Posing may sound silly, but knowing your poses can make or break your body building contest. I don't want all my hard work spent on training and dieting going to waste just because I didn’t nail my poses!

A key component to body building success is nutrition. Nutrition is what gives us the raw materials for recuperation, energy, and growth. This week has seen me start the physical changes to my diet.
