coachcinziaShawn got up before me this morning to head to the grocery store. I stayed in bed until he returned with my fuel! Today is day 1 of final week diet and preparing my meals in a specific way is more critical than anytime before. Traveling out of state to compete can make it challenging, but not when experience is on your side! Shawn got back, prepared my meals, brought water and I started my day happy and relaxed!
Little Sean loves traveling with us when I compete. He is such a good traveler! He appreciates good quality hotels and the Embassy Suites is his favorite!
It is gorgeous here in LA! We stayed at the Embassy Suites last night as the host hotel was full. We checked out this morning and the shuttle from the Doubletree came to pick us up to drive us to the host hotel. It looks like nice neighborhoods all around. In the shuttle there is a sweet coconut smell of sun screen lotion. Amazing how your sense of odor is heighten when the food you eat is prepared simply! I can close my eyes and see myself at the beach already! I look forward to Sunday and the week that will follow. As a family we will take a mini vacation in Santa Monica. It will be a lot of fun since it the first real time off we have had together since 2009.
Checked in the Doubletree with a smile, as they welcomed us with lots of cookies! I am really good with cravings and it doesn’t bother me to watch my little guy enjoying his cookie. On the contrary, it makes me happy he is enjoying himself! The driver who transported us from the Embassy Suites to the Doubletree guessed I am one of the many competitors who will flow in here in the next few days; good thing I look like one!
