4 days!!

Wow!! The end of the season is near!! I am very excited and anxious, but at the same time nervous.  Not for the show, but for the aftermath.  I know of so many competitors that rebound after a show, or take a wrong approach to "off season muscle building", and I really want to tackle this with a game plan. I shake my head at those who enter off season with the 'eat to grow' mentality. Sorry, those who think that eat to grow means eat anything and everything in sight, hoping that if they gain fat during their off season, it will somehow magically turn into muscle when they start training again! NEWSFLASH people you don't turn fat into muscle, you burn fat and gain muscle!! Two entirely different processes. On that note, today is NOT the day to attempt to make any sort of legit gameplan! lol! With restricted carbs, high rep workouts, CARDIO and an anticipated crazy night ahead at work, this brain is in low function mode! I am trying to map out all that needs to be done in the next few days and have lost my list twice! lol Luckily for me I repacked the majority of my bag after the last show, so i am pretty much ready to go on that front, i'll just pull out my list 'o show gear on Thursday night to be safe.  And I already have post show snacks packed, Reese's pieces, swedish berries and red big feet!! todays diet of tilapia, chicken, eggs and asparagus, though less than appetizing, is all prepared and ready to accompany me to work.  I did my morning workout, heading to the treadmill now, then off to work, and back at the gym around midnight.  Tomorrow is my 'day off' which will be spent running around doing last minute tasks such as nails, tan, grocery shopping etc.  I should likely make a stop at the liquor store....for saturday night...
