5 Days until Show Time!

The nerves are kicking in....if I think too much about it I start to feel sick to my stomach.  There are no longer weeks that separate me from the stage... we are talking DAYS!  In 5 days I will be Suppa duppa tan, glama-fied and strutting my stuff in 4.5 inch clear heels.  This is the week I have been waiting for since I signed my name on the dotted line back in June and now it's here. 

I want to soak all of this nervous, excited, and crazy energy in and truly make the most of this last week.  I have worked my ass off for this and I want to go up there Saturday and give it everything I got!  I want to have fun and truly appreciate my hard work.  I never thought in a million years I would be doing something like this but I wanted to prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to.  I would be lying if I said how I place doesn't matter to me but in the end that's not what this is about.  All of these women sacrifice their time, sweat, tears, social life and relationships to do a show and the reward is so much more than a trophy or a score.  It has been such an amazing learning experience going through this process.  There were mornings I didn't want to get up and run hills or make myself food at 10pm but I did it anyways not because I had to because I wanted to. 

With all of that said I am really looking forward to living my life again.  I want to eat at my parents house for dinner and not have to pack a salad or go out to dinner and not read the menu 20 times over to make sure I can find something healthy.  I am not planning on driving to MacDonald's here and ordering everything on the dollar menu...I just want to enjoy my hard work with a glass of wine or a carb at dinner once in awhile. 

My life for the next 5 days is going to get a little weird.  My diet is bland to say the least and it's the first time in this process where my carb intake is low.  My boyfriend has been a saint through all of this so I need to remind myself of that this week before I go all Tyra on his ass for something trivial because I am hungry!
