Deirdre's Tri Stuff and More: Three weeks out and tanning "practice"

Three weeks out for the Cardinal Classic and I'm feeling great! I'm still eating 3200 calories daily so that is awesome. I get new photos taken this week and a new menu on the weekend. I got to "practice" my Friday/Saturday meals this weekend. I had a burger with mushrooms and some mocha trail mix on Friday. Too much espresso beans -- too much tossing and turning and smearing my "tan". Next weekend I'm going for the pizza and giant gingerbread man cookie . . . . Saturday was steak and sweet potato fries in the morning and no water until noon. Oh, and the best peppermint patties in the world around 10:30 . . . . mmmm!

My spray tan was not good. Too wet and smeary come Saturday morning. I ended up showering and painting it on myself. The base was great, but I had so many streaks and hand prints there was no way I could go anywhere like that. The painting on was easy and dried quickly, so I'm going to try again this weekend and see if I can nail it down.

On another great note - a lady I'm posing with won another pro card this weekend in Pittsburgh!! Yea, Claudia!! Congrats! She will be at Cardinal with me and I expect more great results there.
