NPC Figure Competition- 12 weeks out from show

Holy man, I cannot believe time is flying so fast! I remember making the decision to commit to my first NPC Figure competition 6 weeks ago! Now Im at the point where I cannot mess up my nutrition AT ALL and have to kick some butt every day from here on out! I mean, I have been trying, but still had a few slip ups.  I was told if I’m craving to have a bite of cool whip to help my sweet tooth… one night I found myself eating half the container… UMMM yea thats NOT ok!! LOL… 

So after re evaluating myself today, I need to definitely step it up with my water intake.  I hold salt so easily! Its crazy when your body fat gets low that you can see the biggest changes with the smallest things, like having salt on a piece of food.  
Yesterday I ate at Chipotle and just had lettuce, steak, and veggies and they obviously throw salt on their meat. Lesson learned AGAIN!
I will be drinking 1 gallon of water from here on out.  I need to cut back on my seltzer water (naturally flavored) because it does have a little sodium and I can tell easily I get a little bloated after and my fingers even swell.
I just finished my meal prep for this week and I’m ready to go!!

As you see, I will be eating the same thing EVERY day! Who thinks I’ll be sick of eating chicken and egg whites by next week?? LOL 
I have my moments, but honestly I have heard people want to vomit when they look at chicken and I’m not close to being there yet, so thats a plus!!  🙂
I am actually pretty proud of how good my food looks for the week! I have fresh veggies I made into kabobs and they are amazing!!

Not going to lie, I kicked butt with my cooking lol!! 
You may be wondering, are my hubby and kids eating this too?? Well, my kids will eat the chicken, but I made lean meatloaf and whole wheat turkey sausage pasta for them with light Alfredo sauce!! Gotta please everyone and come to a happy medium! I still only took about 3 hours total (not even) to prepare everything!
Onto my weight training and exercise!  I have been doing cardio 2 times daily 30 minutes each.. One when I first wake up, and the other 30 minutes right after my weight training. I am lifting weights 5 days/week and my cardio is every day! My cardio is keeping my heart rate around 130-140 BPM. Burn fat calories baby!
This is a bathing suite and although I do not have strings covering my back (bikini top) I’m still not showing anything… I am trying to show my progress with my back! I am so excited that I have made improvements with my V shape in my back! I never thought my waist can look small like this!! Im use to having no curves and my top matching my waist and bottom!! GO ME!! Now, to keep this going!!
