Monster Mash :)

Okay Becca...send me everything again today...and I will look it over....

I am going to compete again this year....I am not going to compete again this year....I am going to compete again this year....I am not going to compete again this year.

Here's the thing I think about another competition with a bunch of girlfriends...and I get all excited....I try and tell myself NO...and I'm just miserable :) I love the gym...but I love competing!!!! I'm thinking I suck at competing...really I do...but I love the prep...I love the weeks of prep...hanging with everyone else prepping for the same show. I love to travel for shows. I love meeting all of you out there with similar passion for the sport.

And this sounds like the show :) Who's all doing it ????? The Monster Mash :)

Okay I'm going to bed...most of you will be half done with your day by the time I wake up :) I do like working the PM shift though... it's the fun crowd :) Day shift not so much...way too intense :)

Hey Tina, I never forgot about your question I just wanted to get all my ducks in a row before I responded. You see my mom is a nurse as well and I wanted to get some feedback from her about her days in the ER. I know how hard you work and I thank your for all that hard work. It’s people like you and my mom that make this world a better place and I mean that.

As for your eating. You just posted about competing again which means you have to get serious about your eating. ER or no ER.

Some suggestions: Make yourself some finger foods to carry around with you in your pocket so you can eat while on the floor.

Like, Chicken On a Stick. Marinate/season your chicken and soak your skewers in water to prevent from burning. Make sure you cut the skewers the correct length so they actually fit into your pocket. Cut your chicken breast into narrow slices and skewer them length wise. Then you can either grill them or bake them, whatever you like.

Chicken Roll Ups. Beat your chicken breast fairly thin then spread on any greens you prefer and roll them up so they look little chicken logs. I would bake these ahead of time so you can grab them and go the next day. Get creative with the stuffing combinations like greens and cheese (fat free), greens and brown rice, cheese and brown rice, etc.

Pork Loin Chips. If you eat pork, this is a cute recipe. Buy a port loin and slice narrow rounds about the size of a potato chip. Season to taste and use whatever cooking method you prefer or have time for. This way they are small enough to fit into your pocket and quick to eat. If your loin is not a perfect log shape its ok, do your best with it. Focus on making them bite size not perfect.

Now of course you make your meal ahead of time because your a DreamBodies DIVA, right! ;) So all these recipes should be a snap for you. Once your proteins are cooked, allow them to cool down and then throw them into small zip lock bags so they are ready to grab and throw into your cooler. I know my DIVA has a cooler in which she puts all of her muscle building meals for work and everyday. ;)

Oh, and make sure you wear your scrubs with the pockets so you can keep your little protein packets in them. There’s nothing worse than reaching into your pocket and having your hand slide down the sides of your scrubs because todays outfit doesn't have any pockets. I’ve seen my mother do it many times.lol But who knows maybe all scrubs have pockets now. lol

I hope these tips are helpful to you. You need to be strong while on that floor girl so eat up DIVA ;)
