figure competition prep. my daily journal


{breakfast}

Since I’m in prep for a figure competition I’m being ultra strict with my diet and tracking my diet.
At this point I’ve settled in and I’m pretty comfortable. I don’t feel deprived or hungry on a daily basis. I’m sort of at cruising speed when it comes to my diet.

But, every once in a while (like last night) I’ll have these dreams about over eating and not keeping track of anything.

In my dream a table suddenly appears filled with cupcakes, cookies, and my favorite chocolate (Lindor Truffles).

The cupcakes are topped with a pile of buttercream stacked higher than the cake itself. The cookies are soft, chewy, and the size of my head.

The table of goodies has nothing to do with my dream. It’s just there. 

I stroll over to it. I eat a couple of cupcakes, a few cookies, and three or four truffles before I suddenly realize I’m not supposed to be eating this stuff and I’m supposed to be tracking everything I eat!

Panic ensues! I can figure out the macros of the chocolates if I can remember exactly how many I ate! But, the cookies and cupcakes I know nothing about!!! How will I ever figure out the macros?!!!

I guess I’ll just have to give up on the entire day and get back to it tomorrow. 

In that case………Bring It On!!!

I eat like four more cupcakes, six more cookies, and fill my pockets with the rest of the truffles for later. 

The next thing I know, I’m half awake.

I laid there in my bed, staring at the wall, wondering if it was all the dream or if I actually cheated.

Once the dream dust settled in my mind I realized I hadn’t cheated. I took a deep breath, got out of bed, and got on with my day.

Although, I still caught myself checking MyFitnessPal more than I normally to make sure I didn’t miss anything throughout the day!
