14 weeks out....please don't take my cheat meal away!

Last monday got the week off to a cracking start! First, I dumped the entire contents of my protein shaker into my kit bag. Then I forgot my iPod (and everyone knows the quickest way to kill your workout mojo is to not have your own tunes)~ double distaster because I happen to be a Maria Sharapova~esque style of weight lifter. With my headphones in, I can't hear myself ~ sucked in to everyone else who can! Then when I finally got my shit together and actually made it to the gym floor, everything had been moved! Are you KIDDING me??? It took me 3 weeks to not wander aimlessly amid the equipment, pretending I knew what I was doing. Sigh. Monday was topped by Tuesdays' effort of protein shaking the inside of my car....which in hindsight wasn't so bad compared to the tuna salad I lost under the passenger seat on Sunday. It goes without saying I'm getting my car professionally detailed once this all over.
Thursday was D~day...weigh in and Bio Scan at HPC. Havn't lost that much weight which I was seriously bummed about, but happy days~ everything I've lost has been fat and lean muscle mass has even improved a couple of points. So at 14 weeks out I'm sitting on 14.9% body fat. 59kgs with 50.5kgs lean muscle mass. Should I be freaking out? I don't know! I've never done this before remember!!! In my mind I have a goal of getting to 7~8%....I reakon I can do it. I know my weakness is my lats~ how the frig do you flare your lats without looking like the back of a Mac truck??? I'll just have to get bigger ones. Pity your boobs don't get bigger with all this hard work. I just had to down size my bra....I don't really want to talk about it. Needless to say I'm devo'd. They bloody well better grow back! The local tit guy kinda freaks me out! I don't think you should trust anybody with your boobs who is obviously wearing their knee caps as eyebrows.
I have to say, until now I never really understood the cheat meal obsession. Is it wrong to plan what you're having for dinner on sunday night as you're doing monday mornings' cardio? I started out really well. My first cheat meal my sister and I cooked up a sensational vegan feast. My second was equally delicious but slightly less healthy, Pad Thai. The third.......I'm hoping Adam doesn't read this~ a mini tub of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food! Aaaaaaurrrgh! I seriously nailed the whole thing because I knew if I didn't, it would call out to me from the depths of my freezer for the entire week, until in a mindless frenzy I would get up in the middle of the night to finish it and my flatmate would find me in a sad, cold, chocolatey mess slumped against the fridge. WHAT? It could have happened.
So now comes the serious business of juggling work with training. Last week was the busiest week~ 20 massages & 5 yoga classes. I made it to 6pm friday night before collapsing into my bed. The kind exhaustion that makes you feel like you're in an induced coma and you know you aren't going to wake up for a long time. Boo Yah! Made it all the way to 6am saturday morning and I only woke up because in my brain fog I must have set my alarm. All I can say is, suppliments make everything better.
Next on the list~ posing. Time to step out of the comfort zone and get my flex on....watch this space!
