To anyone competing next weekend! It's been a grueling 16 weeks on my end, but I'm proud to say I've worked hard, and have come a long way since the beginning of my prep.

June 5th will also mark my 160th day without a cheat meal :eek:. Which I will celebrate by diving into a huge-ass slice of cheesecake. Yeeeeah buddy. :cool:

So for anyone competing next weekend, or in the beginning of June, GOOD LUCK!!

Goodluck my fellow Canadian. May your cheat meals be filled with maple syrop and canadian bacon.

Haha, that reminds me...Bacon Salt during this prep was my absolute life-saver. I think that's probably one of the most intelligent condiments ever.

Everything...tastes...like...bacon....

Oh, and I may have some poutine on Sunday ;)

LOL...just make sure when you're eating it, you are sitting on your chesterfield with your toque on!

Good luck this week! You'll do great!

The only thing I don't cheat on is my girl (if I have one - which I don't).

Good job :)

What do you consider a cheat meal? Because I know different ppl have different definitions just curious what yours is. Im not getting ready for a contest for a while but I am cutting and I have what I consider a "cheat" on saturdays because thats when I go out with friends but that doesnt mean Im scarfing copious amounts of junk either, I just know I go over my deficit for that day but the other 6 days Im 100% on point and I dont think its comprimised my results. Do you just stay ridgid because its easier for you or what? Just curious.

Cheat meal:

Any traditional "unclean" foods...pasta, cake, pastries, pizza, movie popcorn, ice cream, candy, etc. blah blah.

A meal where I don't plan anything, and I eat whatever I want for that meal. And where it's NOT fitted into my macros.

:) I stay rigid because I believe it's best for my body, and I know that I don't NEED "bad" foods to keep sane. I'll have a treat now and then if I feel I want it, but most of the time I just stick to my regular foods.

Which is why going into contest prep really wasn't difficult as far as food is concerned...I'm already used to eating all this stuff!

Check out my post-show cookies!! Just baked these today:

I know, right? They left this lingering aroma throughout my house, it's awesome.

And they're so delightfully chewy in the middle. *wiggles in chair*

Good luck with the contest! I am sure you will do great with dedication like that :) I dunno how you baked those cookies though, that smell would kill me knowing I couldn't eat them for a few days:P Can't wait to see how you do, and enjoy yourself for at least a day after!

Thanks!! I bake cookies every year for all the big gatherings/special occasions my family has, so I'm pretty used to baking without grazing ;) Actually knowing that I could have them in a week made me want to stick to my plan even more, haha!

I'm like you that I really don't need the real cheat foods to get my sweet fix. I can pretty much make any low fat version of a dessert, and while it might not please everyone, I am always satisfy.

Now the real question - where did you get the Bacon Salt? I NEED SOME!

Exactly!! Plus I like being creative with food.

My sister sent me a big box of it! I'm so, so in love. Have you ever had BBQ-bacon potato chips? That's what it tastes like.

I'll stop now :)

Did my first ever bodybuilding show with UFE - the spring bash this past april 10th :O

Then I did the OPA two weeks after, and I'm going for the provincials on June 19th!

So how are you feeling?

Ohh yeah that's right! And then I commented on how cool it was that you were younger and competing..you looked great!! Good luck on the 19th, it's getting close :)

I'm feeling good, minus the occasional headache and severe lack of energy, haha. I took the wrong route at the beginning of my prep, but luckily I slid in just in time, and managed to pull myself together. I think I look pretty good, and I'm just going to go with it and have fun :)
