Spanner thrown in the works...

Well, it’s not really that dramatic, but that’s what it felt like Wednesday afternoon.

You see, the plan I was originally going to go with for my final week of comp prep involved salt loading, and then flushing…supplemented with potassium tabs. This is what I had done for my original comp prep-however, now, here in Australia, they’ve gone and regulated the potassium so you need a prescription for them. That’s one thing that does bug me about the Australian pharmacy industry-way to over-regulated…but that’s a whole other blog…LOL!

So, now what?! I’d done a bit of research on this issue before-but it all gets very confusing with soooo many different opinions and theories. I’ve now done a heap of research...
and what it sort of comes down to is what I feel comfortable with, what the general consensus is, and what my body looks like that last week before the comp. That’s the hard part, being a control freak virgo-I like to have everything planned ahead of time; but no-can-do...just got to wait and see! ;-0

I have a basic plan…I’m gong to do a very mild salt load then flush (thanks for the input RAE) with a bit of a carb load (which I hadn't done at all last time, but have read so much about it-want to give it a go)…and of course water deplete. Just have to see what I look like that week and weekend to figure how much carbs. I’m really paying attention to my body right now to see how it reacts day to day with what I’m eating. I don’t think I’ve ever paid THIS much attention to my body-but a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do, right? Plus I have DI on board to help out with what to do on the day of the comp.

The good thing is, I have the Townsville show as sort of a practice run. If whatever I do doesn’t work-will have to try something else for the Asia Pacific!

It all comes down to trial and error at this stage…hopefully without much error…LOL!

In other news; I'm down from 52k (114) 2 weeks ago, to 51.2k (112) today. I think I'll do measures this weekend. ;-0

Have a great weekend everyone!
