Well, I am very happy to report that by pulling back on the eating just a tad-I think I have levelled out. Today I weighed in at 53K even. (That's just a tad over 116lbs). The day before the last comp I weighed 49K (108). Over the weekend I was at 53.9 (108)-but that was partially due to water with Aunt Flo arriving. So, the plan is to simply maintain the 53K. It is a comfortable weight and it seems to me my natural weight. There ya go! Back to normal (for me) eating. Pretty clean with a few treats here and there.
Here is what I've eaten today-of course it's only 8am...
1st meal-gluten free toast (made w/rice flours, almond flours, and some chia seeds etc.) topped w/St. Dalfur's raspberry jam (no sugar added), coffee w/rice milk and honey.
2nd meal- My second and last cup of coffee (same as above) and peanut butter/choc oatmeal; I used THIS recipe (introduced by CHARLOTTE) as my base-only I did it in the microwave and added some choc protein powder and left out the banana.
My plan for the rest of the day-I'll have some fruit and nuts around 10 after my client, lunch will be leftover chipotle chicken from last night, around 3 I'll have some of my gluten free protein pumpkin bread and maybe some grapes, and dinner is actually undecided-I have lots of broccoli from the local markets, and lots of chicken thighs that were on sale-so I'm thinking of something Asian...chili broccoli and thighs with rice noodles-mmm-that sounds good!
Other than the food, my workouts have been pretty good, though I'm still having to coddle this hammy-so have not been doing TABATA or full on leg workouts. My plan is to do the TABATA twice a week and weights 3 days a week and walk about 4 days a week. This is how I've always worked except the TABATA wasn't a regular aspect until comp prep-but now I absolutely love it and just love the feeling of the calories that I know it's burning. And this way-I won't feel as guilty about an occasional sweet on the weekend! (or vacation!)
OK-I'm off! Ciao for now!

mmmm......all that food is making me hungry already! Now it's your turn Raechelle to tempt me with your food porn! LOL!
Sounds like your back in a good place Raechelle. And I agree with Leisl.....your menu today sounds delish! One thing I was not blessed with was an ability to cook well. Love hearing from you, and have fun today :)
GREAT JOB OON WATCHING THAT WEIGHT GIRL!
So you are digging some Tabata!! I love it and I love how you can customize it to virtually any type of workout also- cardio. weights. you name it.
;)
Sounds like you've sussed out that 'post-comp' let down, and am in control. Good to hear you're feeling at your best. You are looking FANTASTIC! ;)
Hehehe-more food porn coming your way soon!
Yes, I'd say I'm just about there Lauren...not perfect-but who is?! :-0
Hey there Ana! Good luck with your upcoming comp!
Yes i absolutely loooove tabata-w/a real passion!
I think I was only 1/2 expecting that post comp binge-if I was fully expecting it-maybe I would have slammed the breaks on allot quicker. I chose to not take control; but hopefully now I'm back in the driver seat Kerry! Thanks!
Glad you got round to trying the oatmeal!
Your holding is great, it means you're managed to get thing under control Raechelle. And we all know how challenging that is post comp. ;o) xxx
yeah-it was pretty good Charlotte! I put a tad too much coa coa in though-it was a bit rich...hehe
Will use less next time! :-)
yes Lia-by finally smacking myself upside the head-and utilising methods I've used for the alcohol-I think I'm back in control. :-)
