One last good meal, because tomorrow it all starts!

I have today marked on my calendar as 16 weeks out from my contest. Today was a normal Saturday; I hit the gym early and had a good work out. Went into work and ate my regular meals but tomorrow I put my game face on. 16 weeks out is a long time but I’ve been down this road before and this is where the excitement starts. Results come after hard work, persistence, and discipline. For my final meal tonight I had one last tasty dinner before 16 weeks of hell. Spaghetti with whole wheat noodles, Ragu, 93% lean ground beef, and fresh parmesan cheese, all loaded with oregano. I didn’t over eat but I had enough that I was definitely satisfied. Tomorrow on for the next 16 weeks it’s all business. Hawaii in 6 weeks and I am excited. I have a family reunion there the first week of March. We’re flying out on the 2nd and coming back on the 13. The first few days there we’ll be in a hotel so I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to manage my workouts and meals. For the majority of the time; however, we’ve rented a house. Part of the reason we rented a house was so that I would have access to a kitchen and especially a fridge. I have an allowance put away strictly for food in Hawaii because I know things are really expensive there. So for cutting from now until Hawaii I may need to over compensate for the weight I may put back on while I’m there. I’m going to do my best though to be prepared and ready.
