Peak Week Prep: Prior
to the start of Peak Week, prep all meals and get EVERYTHING you need!!! You will probably have to pick up stuff you
forgot throughout the week, but you MUST set yourself up for success!!
Supplies to buy in ADVANCE:
Xpel (water pill), Body Wraps (It Works! – must order online), razors,
exfoliating scrub, exfoliating gloves, PLUS make sure you have everything you
need for the day of the competition like suit, heels, jewelry, hair extensions,
etc. (which I am assuming you have been buying/accumulating over the pasts 14
weeks)
Make all appointments in advance (hair, nails, make-up, tan)
Follow nutrition and workout plan as regular unless
instructed by your coach.
**Consume NO MORE than 50mg of sodium per meal!!! (This is
critical when it comes to meal prep – leave out ingredients if need be….watch
your protein powders too…these can surprise you by how much sodium they have!)
Sunday:
Xpel: take 2, twice a
day
Water: Goal is at least 1 ½ Gallons (I managed to drink 220
oz….brownie points?)
Meals: followed plan to a t!
Workouts: Normally an off day, but am doing me Wednesday morning
cardio session because I travel for work and won’t get all three of my workouts
in on Wednesday, ugh!! Successfully did
an hour of sprints on the treadmill clocking in over 7 miles!!
Shaved arms and abs – feel a little cold and naked, but
wow….it’s amazing how much more definition you see when you are hairless!
Mentally prepped for the week and I lounged around and
relaxed the rest of the day!
Body Wraps (It Works!) at night – goal is to wear them for
at least 8 hours. This was absolutely
freezing!! And if you know me, you know
I HATE being cold….it was definitely a long night of tossing and turning!

Tuesday:
Xpel – take 3, twice a day
Water – Goal is at least 1 ½ Gallons (235 oz)

over lunch (lower body)
Took pics for tomorrow mornings check-in cause I’ll already

it through 6 hours and then took them off so I could get a little shut eye!
Prep for tomorrow (make sure I have everything set for my
final fitting, am ready for my tanning appointment, have alarms set for all my
timed meetings/check-ins, etc).
Nerves are officially starting to kick in!

NEW INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE I AM TOO LEAN!!Friday night in ADDITION to dinner, add 6 oz steak and 6 oz white potato w/ 2 TBSP butter
Saturday with breakfast, add 4 oz steak and 4 oz sweet potatoes with loads of honey
Saturday before pre-judging, eat another 4 oz sweet potatoes with loads of honey
Saturday throughout the day – eat rice cakes with loads of PB&J
4:15pm – first tan (they are of course running an hour
behind) – honestly, such a weird experience!!
I feel like I’m a little blotchy, but I guess that is why they do touch
ups tomorrow J
7-9pm – competition check-in – coaches checked us in so we
only have to do the AM check in (prior to pre-judging)
Peak Week Wrap Up:
Peak week has been full of ups and downs! I have gone through feeling 100% ready, to
having a mid-week break down, to being totally drained of energy, to feeling
like I am high as a kite! Today
especially through me for a loop when my coach called me to “change” all my
peak week prep, but one thing I have learned throughout today, is that there is
no point stressing about it, you just have to go with the flow!
Well that’s all for tonight….it’s time to unwind, have my
last meal of the day, and hit the hay for tomorrow is definitely going to be an
eventful one!!
Stay tuned for the next edition of True Life: My First Body
Competition – SHOWTIME!!
