My goal is to compete at this meet in the 148 pound weight class. My ultimate long term goal is to be a 132 pound competitor, but one step at a time :) My weight has been doing some strange things the last few months, I suspect a hormone imbalance and am trying to get it all sorted out and back on track but that's a whole different topic that I could spend hours talking about.
Anyway, back to the meet. I have about 6 pounds left to lose, which I plan to do with a water cut. I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to cut for this meet until about a day before it was time to start cutting but I feel like I will be so much more competitive in this weight class as opposed to the 165 class when in reality I've never weighed 165 a day in my life.
My week has consisted of a ton of water, seriously, I feel like I've drank an ocean of distilled water, lots of dandelion root, magnesium, chicken, hard boiled eggs, broccoli, and asparagus. It really hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong-I'm super pumped to hit up that buffet right after weigh ins but I feel pretty good right now. Today and tomorrow will be the true tests though. Last night was my last meal until after I weigh in so today and tomorrow I don't get any food or liquids. It's 11:00 am right now and I'm definitely feeling that I haven't had my coffee today but overall not as bad as I expected. (ask me in eight hours)
Tomorrow morning, depending on where my weight is, I might have a sauna session but I'm hoping my weight will be low enough by then that it won't be necessary.
I've almost got my whole bag packed and ready to go (this includes the stupid amount of gluten free cookies I bought last night) My plan for the next 36 hours is just to stay calm and relaxed and know that I have truly done the best I could in terms of training and getting my weight down. Now I'll just send up a few prayers and have a little faith.
